Hey. Large chest people that want it to be smaller and flatter. I have a tip for you.

I am a trans man. I have an h cup chest. That is not a typo, not a brag, and not an invitation to sexually harass me. This means I have about 4 pounds of breast. This means that binders do not work for me. There’s not enough structure in the compression to keep that much weight in place.

I wore a sports bra under my binder, for a time- it kept things in place, and the binder flattened. This isn’t really safe and I recommend against it. It also never actually got me looking masc- I tended to look like I had between a c or b cup. TransTape I discarded too- it’s just not sturdy enough.

Enter Enell. Specifically, the Enell Sport High Impact Bra.

I want you to look at the construction of that sports bra. It clasps in the front. This flattens the chest. And since it’s a sports bra designed for busty people, it LOCKS everything in place. When I wear my Enell sports bra, I do not bounce. It also gets me looking like I have an a cup at worst- and at best, when I layer, I actually look masc.

Admittedly, they’re not cheap. That one’s 66$. But I’ve tried even custom binders, and they don’t work as well as Enell. I was actually contemplating a custom built corset before I found Enell. Enell is also much, much safer than layering compression, since it is being used as intended (sort of). As a bonus, you can actually exercise in it- it’s a sports bra!

I will note that they use their own sizing system, so you will have to measure yourself.

Happy binding!

I’d also like to note that you can ask for this even if you’re closeted and scared without raising a flag. Just say you want to take up running, or if you’re already sporty, that it’ll help with that. It’s technically not a lie- it’s a great sports bra.

[ruffboi-mags]

hell if you’re busty you don’t even need to be getting active, you can just say that you’re having back pain and want to try something new to keep them in place.

For the darlings that bind

In this age of spoilers "ruining the story" and all that, I just have to say that The Locked Tomb series did it right cuz I have seen so many spoilers about those books but they are absoLUTELY incomprehensible, like I have probably seen or read MASSIVE spoilers for those books but its basically like "she rode a skateboard pulled by cats while drinking soup from a skull" so like what am I even supposed to do with that

this is exactly what shakespear envisioned when writing macbeth

[spirulin4]

it’s rly because the ideal mean girl friend group number is three because you can’t be a lone mean girl, 2 mean girls will begin cannibalizing each other without a third to neutralize, and 4 mean girls will splinter off into two self-cannibalizing mean girl duos. this is basic psychology.

unholy trinity

[sinhal-deactivated20241018]

I’m sorry but the “I’ve been to war” “But have you dated Dick Grayson, I’ve dated Dick Grayson” exchange between Babs and Kate is the true final member of this unholy trinity

[nyxqueen97]

Ok but I totally blocked this out of my mind

[sinhal-deactivated20241018]

I’ve done several people’s ids for it when they were complaining about it and its blazed in my mind between that and how awful it is 😭😭😭

[nyxqueen97]

I’m sorry???

people will look at a 25+ age LGBT person and say “what do you mean you’re not interested in watching this very sanitized story about two 14 year olds having their first kiss and falling in love DO YALL WANT REPRESENTATION OR NOT 😡”

[apocalypsegay]

why do yall act like lgbt media for kids without them fucking on screen is “sanitized” why are you all so weird

[pettydavis]

how do you miss the point this bad??? theyre talking about how ppl think ADULT lgbt ppl should be satisfied with stories for and about kids/teens when SURPRISE maybe grown lgbt ppl actually want to watch things for and about GROWN PPL.

and further, sanitisation does not always mean fucking. yall are so obsessed with sex in media but the truth is that most gay media for all of us does not reflect the full breadth of our experience. characters not being allowed to talk about WHY theyre attracted to someone, characters not being allowed to show a full range of emotions, not being allowed to have faults, plots always only about romance (because for gays there’s only two experiences, romance and suffering), characters always being conventionally attractive, main characters always being WHITE, stories washed of any reality outside of the tragic things we go through, like cmon i know yall have bigger brains than this.
