Friendly reminders to everyone!

A friendly reminder to all my dfab siblings to bind safely! Remember to give your chest a break and to treat your breasts right, even though you may not like them very much. Your breasts are still an important part of your body while you have them, and extended or unsafe binding can cause serious health issues!

Never use ace bandage, always use an actual chest binder, or if you cannot obtain a chest binder, using a stomach binder can work too. But the same rules still apply. Always make sure you get the proper size, wash your binder, rest your breasts, and know your body, if you start to feel any pain or discomfort, maybe give binding a rest.

And to my dmab lovelies, same goes for you if you use a corset or binder. Be safe and know your body's limits. Remember that binding for too long can bruise ribs or harm your intestines, which are important! Also remember to be kind if you tuck as well. Tucking is uncomfortable and tricky, so remember to be patient, and be gentle. Don't wanna cause any damage!

Remember to keep clean as well and wash everything regularly! Don't forget to give your body a break and treat it well! Take days to just lie around and rest. It's okay to take breaks. You are aloud them. Take a hot bath, or play a video game, or partake in your beloved hobby! Play dress up by yourself and go through your whole closet and have fun!

Look in the mirror and tell yourself how great you are. Find all things you love about yourself. See anything you don't like? It doesn't matter. See that you are flawless before you see anything else.

And to my intersex darlings, all these rules apply to you as well. I want everyone to be safe and healthy through their transition!

Don't forget your hormones if your on them!
Don't forget your other medications!
Eat well!
Get outside!
And most importantly,
Remember that you are an amazing and wonderful human being. You are important, and you do matter. There are people that love you and support you always. Your life matters. Your gender is real, your expression is yours and yours alone. You are strong and brave and the struggle you face may be a mountain, and behind that mountain may be another cliff. But keep pushing through, keep on. You can do it. I know you can.
