dysphoria

what is a good way to lessen body dysphoria when you can't afford a binder and have unsupportive parents?? please help

I am sorry you are having challenges with body dysphoria. I am hoping these articles might give you some ideas of how to cope with your situation. I cannot vouch for the ones from other sites because I am not familiar with them but they seemed to be more closely aligned with what you are asking for.

There are some binder giveaway actions.

First aid:

* wear two sports bra (there are a lot of trans ppl out there using this method)
* Sports compression wear

A common trick in buying/recieving a binder with unsupportive parents would be the old "it's for cosplay" excuse.

Like TulipKitten said, there is much more besides hiding your breasts that you can do, but I know that some days your breasts seem to undermine you so hart it hurts, so I hope you'll find a way dealing with them that works for you

thank you all so much for the advice i really appreciate it
