Reminder to male-at-birth genderfluid people:

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.

Fluctuating chest dysphoria…that’s a legit, accepted thing??? O_O

nonbinary-dysphoria

Not only is it legit, but it’s common too! Even the most painfully dysphoric binary trans people say it’s not always constantly in their face. It can even be a subconscious thing in the back of your mind while you’re focused on something else. Fluctuating feelings of dysphoria are completely normal.

I'm MTF, and I have scoliosis (it's not bad but it does bother me sometimes). Do you know if that would affect my transition in any way? I did a little research but couldn't really find an answer.

Kii says:

The only trans-related issue with scoliosis I could find was with binding, and that generally doesn’t apply to transfeminine people. I’ve also found reports of some people finding that certain bras cause them more issues because of their scoliosis, but the solution to that is generally just to find bras that work for you. Breast implants are generally still fine with scoliosis. (Note- before and after photos of breast implants at link)

If any followers know of things I’m missing, please add on!

I'm MTF and I would love to get implants in the future, I have a certain size I want to reach that I think I'll be comfortable in. However, when I told my therapist this, she said that my wanting implants is me objectifying myself and harming other women. Do you think this is true?

Ora says:

No, what you do to your body (as long as it’s safe) is your business. You would be doing this for yourself and for your own happiness, it doesn’t affect anyone else and is in no way harmful.

Anonymous asked:

Might be an odd question, but could someone with breast implants bind? Would it be safe?

Kii says:

I don’t imagine that would work very well, since the implants are solid lumps on your chest, and probably wouldn’t compress/move as much as breast tissue.

So like. I'm a Transgender Female and I've gotten into a kinda rhythm. Since I own multiple cup sizes of implants for fake breasts, I tend to use them for different times. I use a C-Cup when I'm out and about, a B-Cup when I'm at home, and an A-Cup when I'm sleeping. Is this normal? Should I stick to one sized breast? Are there others that do this?

Kii says:

I say you can do whatever makes you comfortable!
