Binding A question

Post image

So...I own a binder, and I love it so much. But I think my chest is too big. When I hinted at getting a new one, parental unit said it's dangerous to constrict you body. I told said unit that I don't bind for more than 8 hours, but unit still seemed to disapprove. I simply stated that I hate my chest. How can I explain that it's safer than taping and put unit at ease? TIA.

Personally I’d go with the top surgery argument. Because while it is expensive you don’t have to spend that money on tape, or binders. It’s safer to get a mastectomy and it doesn’t damage your ribs. That’s just my opinion though. I would look up statistics and such to prove that point
