I GOT MY FIRST BINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT MY FIRST BINDER! It flattens SO much better than I thought it would. I never noticed how many shirts I had but have only worn maybe twice max because it wouldn't hide my chest. The amount of confidence I feel is indescribable. My dysphoria has lessened drastically. I can't wait to wear it to school on Monday!!!!!!!

 

 

Guys, 

 

I PASS!!!

Wow, that's incredible! I'm going to be trying a binder soon, hopefully the results are as amazing as yours! Top surgery will be very high on my list of priorities, but until then this may be the answer for feeling more my male self. Thanks for the encouraging post and pic!

@Ronin82 My tip is to move them around in the binder until you find the right position for you. It took me a bit of just moving around, then looking in the mirror, then repeating. Top surgery is right after HRT for me. I'm still not completely sure about bottom surgery, but I have plenty of time to think about it.

 

Thanks for the nice compliments! A binder really does help alleviate some top dysphoria. At least, it did for me.

I'm wearing it in public for the first time today, and I've heard nothing but good feedback. My friends flipped out because they had never seen me so flat, and they, plus a couple of teachers and various other friends, said I looked cis, which I'm very happy about. My confidence is noticeably higher, along with my happiness. My dysphoria's down, as well. All in all, so far, it's a good day.

Looks wonderful! I remember wearing my first binder. I felt amazing, although my skin didn't appreciate the rough material.

The binder I have now is lined with cotton and works wonders. I am a bigger guy with larger breasts, so passing is difficult, but my binder helps a lot.


I should wear it more often...

AWESOME, @killjoyaiden

 

You look GREAT!

 

I just got my first binder, too!  I don't pass (I'm a fair bit bigger, though not a huge chest), but it makes me feel a lot better.  Much better than a sports bra at flattening.  AND I was in a convenience store, getting ice for my coffee and a lady and kid got behind me in line.  The lady said, "Wait until he's done." to her son!!!

 

Went to my first gender therapist session, too (now 2nd).  He's great.  Not trans, but gay and has other trans patients.  He's giving me a letter and a contact for HRT!!!

 

We'll get it going, @killjoyaiden and everyone!!

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @violet r   I think we all were scared with our first post here on TPF. I hope you come to find this site as welcoming as an old friend. Not knowing the type of retail you're in, it is hard to know how they will react to your coming out. I would hope that if it's part of a larger corporation they may have corporate policies supporting/protecting you once you decide to come out publicly. No one here will rush you, or try to slow you down, once you've decided to come out. Some of us are secret sisters, and others of us are as flamboyant as they come. The cool this is you get to choose. You be you.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome aboard, Violet. What a pretty name!   You are among friends here. We are all on a journey, with things in common despite our individual uniqueness. I hope that makes sense!

      Oh Yes!   This one is so obvious to anyone who has had a cat and observed any Big Cat.

      Welcome Violet.  It's been awhile since i found this space with so many who understand the struggle to simply be ourselves in a society that often disapproves,  It isn't an easy path but being together we can share all the bumps and the joys. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm sorry it didn't work out for the new job. Nothing to keep you from being on the search. I had a coworker who used to walk out of the locker room saying; "I was looking for a job with I found this one and I'll keep searching for the next one. Never let them think you're comfortable and settled."   The coffee has just finished brewing, and we have a HVAC technician coming in about 30 minutes to do an annual system check.   It's time to get out of my Pj's.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.
