<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Binding&#039;&#039;&#039; is the process of compressing the [[Wikipedia:Breast|breasts]] using a wrapping or tight piece of clothing usually to create a more [[masculine]] or [[androgynous]] chest shape. Binding is performed by many people who experience [[Dysphoria#Top_Dysphoria|chest dysphoria]] due to the presence of breasts, as well as people who experience [[wikipedia:Gynecomastia|gynecomastia (The enlargement of breast gland tissue in males)]] and are uncomfortable with the presence of breasts. People who bind regularly may desire [[top surgery]] in order to permanently remove the [[Wikipedia:Breast|breasts]].<br /> <br /> Historically, binding was done using strips of cloth such as [[Wikipedia:Bandage|bandages]]. However, this method can dangerously compress the [[Wikipedia:Lung|lungs]], which affects [[Wikipedia:Breathing|breathing]], and can permanently damage the [[wikipedia:Breast|breast]] tissue. People who wish to bind are now recommended to use specialist binding tops, or home-made equivalents such as [[Wikipedia:Sports bra|sports bras]] and tightly-fitting [[Wikipedia:Shirt|shirts]].<br /> <br /> ==Rules of Binding==<br /> <br /> *Always bind for less than eight hours a day.<br /> *Always take it off before you sleep.<br /> * If it starts to hurt, stop. This is your body telling you to take it off.<br /> *Wash it regularly.<br /> *Stretch your back, shoulders and chest when not binding.<br /> *Do not wear a binder while you work out if possible.<br /> <br /> ==Other Resources==<br /> *https://fenwayhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/Binding-Resource.pdf<br /> *https://www.pointofpride.org/blog/binding-101-tips-to-bind-your-chest-safely<br /> *[[Binders]]<br /> [[Category:Transgender Concepts]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]</div>
