What Is Chest Binding?
Verywell Health ^ | 9/25/22 | Elizabeth Boskley

Posted on 09/29/2022 1:56:37 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Chest binding is the practice of using tight clothing or other items to flatten the breasts. The goal is to create a more masculine chest. Transmasculine people—those assigned female at birth who identify on the masculine spectrum—use chest binding to feel more comfortable in their body as do others who prefer to appear more masculine

“Assigned female at birth” is a phrase that cracks me up. It’s like the doctor just handed out vouchers and you happened to get a pink one lol. Or you got an orange candy instead of a lemon one out of the bag. The intentional feigned ignorance by the left is comical.

I have heard of flattening the curve but flattening the breast is downright depressing (pun unintended).

I had to fill out a form on line today for a doctor appointment today. It asked for my sex at birth. None of the crap about what I identify as.

There is no way it is healthy to bind breasts.

If I wanted to bind my breasts all I would need to do would be to wear a sports bra.

New mothers would bind their beeasts if they did not plan to breastfeed, back when I was born.

“These people make it sound like an arbitrary designation is made at birth.”

It is, and God makes it. But saying it is being used for just sexual appearance on gender is being not only short sided, but absolutely clueless on women.

Breast binding has been used in many historical contexts. Wearing a corset was one way that the size of breasts could be reduced. Different time periods of history have had differing viewpoints on the female form, including widespread use of corsets throughout western European history up to the Victorian era. It had to do with style to create an appearance. Not as a tool to change gender. Women were thought more attractive at different times with different looks. But try to see West, Monroe, Mansfield, Loren or any of a number of large breasted women in today’s society while it is portrayed that way. It’s the mystique.

I met a woman who had her feet bound. She could barely walk and with a LOT of pain.

They used to do this in the 1920's and earlier during the silent picture days. For some reason they wanted flat breasted women. BUT they where women.

"Transmasculine people—those assigned female at birth who identify on the masculine spectrum"

"Assigned" female? You mean an actual biological female, which is one of the two REAL sexes available to human babies.....

This B.S. of "identity" and "trans" is just mental illness and failures on the part of humanity, as DICTATED by The New World Order (simply intended to destroy the family unit, which is already done now).

Tampering with nature's reality can NEVER end well.

Isn’t that where you get your tit caught in a wringer?

Or is that old school binding?

"...use chest binding to feel more comfortable in their body"

The same way women used to use corsets to "feel much more comfortable with 19 inch waists."

"genital tuckers"

Coach made us wear those in gym class back in the 60s, but we had a different name for them. I had absolutely no idea we were so avant-garde and setting a trend.
