Translations:Binding/5/en: Difference between revisions

Binding is practised by many kinds of people: [[transgender men]] who haven't had [[top surgery]] (meaning bilateral mastectomy, in this case called FTM chest reconstruction), [[cisgender men]] with breasts (gynecomastia), [[drag]] kings (performing artists who do a male impersonation act), [[transgender women]] in situations where they need to look male (such as early in transition, with people they haven't [[coming out|come out]] to yet), and some [[nonbinary]] people who want an [[androgyny|androgynous]] look. Because this is a temporary effect, some [[transgender]] and [[gender non-conforming]] people either bind their breasts or wear [[breast prostheses]] at different times. This is one solution for [[genderfluid]] people who wouldn't be satisfied with the permanence of surgery or [[hormone therapy]].
