Reminder to male-at-birth genderfluid people:
Don’t bind with breast implants!!
Don’t bind with breast implants!!
Don’t bind with breast implants!!
Binders are made to compress the fatty tissue of the breast. Implants are made of silicone and cannot be compressed the same way. While uncommon, they are even known to rupture and pop, which could result in you losing not only your breasts but possibly even your life.
If you are a male-at-birth genderfluid person who has fluctuating chest dysphoria, please instead of implants consider:
-using breastforms
-using a push-up bra (this will be particularly helpful if you choose to start HRT, as you will start to build up breast tissue)
-If you happen to have the money and happen to get liposuction, it’s also not unheard of for people to have the fat “transferred” to their breasts. If you do this you will be able to bind because it will be the fatty tissue that binders are intented for rather than silicone.
As nonbinary people, our dysphoria is uncommon, and hardly ever talked about. Safety issues like these hardly ever come up for binary trans people, so we need to make knowledge like this more widespread to keep our fellow nonbinary people safe. Share to spread the word save a gendefluid person considering binding their implants.
