Binding
Binders
I found that Spectrum Outfitters worked best for me (prices range from $50-$39). I also have binders that are older and stretched out or that don’t work as well (like gc2b) that I use when I don’t need as flat of a chest because they are easier on my rib cage lol. If you do that, do NOT count that as a break!
Practice safe binding!
Don't bind for more than 8 hours
Don't sleep in a binder
Don't exercise in a binder
Get the right size
Try to only wear a binder for 5 or 6 days a week (this one is hard, I know)
If it hurts, take it off!
If you notice bruising, something is wrong! Your binder might be too small or you may be wearing it for too long.
TransTape
Wearing binders all the time is not too good for you so I recommend using a variety of different binding techniques. One is TransTape!
The reason Ace bandages are unsafe is because as you breathe it gets tighter and tighter and can really hurt you. But TransTape doesn't do that, it's like the tape athletes use when they sprain their ankle or something. It's safe as long as it is used properly. Plus, you can wear it for up to 5 days, exercise and sleep while wearing it, and it's water proof!
TransTape isn't the only brand of course, but they do have a lot of great resources.
Learn more at their website here. I recommend starting with this page and the FAQ.
KT tape is another option if you cant afford/arent allowed to order TransTape. You can find it at most drugstores and box stores for relatively cheap. The adhesive isnt as strong as TransTape, keep that in mind when applying.
Men's Compression Shirts *I have not used these myself (yet) but I hear they work pretty well*
Made for cis men with gynecomastia but hey we can use em. Obviously will work much better for smaller chests, but could still do something for bigger chests, maybe for under a hoodie?
They won't flatten you as well as binders but the goal is more to masculinize the shape of your chest than to completely flatten it. They are also safer than binders.
Other stuff
The color black will make you look flatter
Layers! Lots of layers! (don't overheat)
Sports bras
Compression bras
Button ups <3333

I love everyone who draws transmascs. Y'all are the light of the world. However, there are more transmasc bodies than skinny hairless white person with top surgery scars and no bulge. There are transmascs who have body hair, who are fat, who are POC, who haven't had top surgery, who pack, etc.
It's not wrong to draw transmascs that way but sometimes it feels like people can't draw us any other way. And it puts pressure on transmascs to fit into that. Which gets exhausting when you can't.

Insane seeing people telling British trans people to "just move" like that's a good attitude to have or even viable for most people. Like. Do you not have any concept of things like community, or money? Even if I could afford to, I wouldn't want to drop my community to leave.
If you're trans in the UK, now is the time to find that community, fight against this shit, have each other's backs.
And learn to DIY, now, before they take away our healthcare completely and we're left with nothing

transreads.org has a downloadable copy of lou sullivan’s autobiography- if you don’t know much about trans history, he was the first openly gay trans man in america to transition and helped define the difference between gender and sexuality as we know it today. sadly, he passed away in the 90s from aids, but we still have his collected journal entries. highly recommend this

Very weird how there’s been multiple people called out for being extremely transphobic towards trans men (misgendering, sending death threats, sending rape threats, accusing them of fetishizing gay men, etc.) and they just start posting shit like “oh but misandry isn’t real. Are people not allowed to hate their oppressors anymore?” and people on this website will just go “oh yep okay” and just completely ignore the fact the original reason they were called out is because they were transphobic

Once again recommending donations to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. Not only is it a credible organization, you can donate any amount, so even if you don’t have much money, you can still contribute what you can towards humanitarian aid in Gaza. It takes donations via credit, PayPal, and mailed checks.

not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.
this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.
i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
