umm honestly ive never rlly thought abt binding b4 even tho my moms r both super accepting and stuff i just think itd be uncomfy lolz. i wear shirtz a few sizez bigger than they need to be, or u can layer thingz maybe ?? but if ur parentz dont let u plz dont listen to all advice u see bc binding w tape or bandagez can damage ur body rlly badly. i hope u can get a binder and if u do make sure to take breakz and not wear it too much !!

Depends;; if your parent's are transphobic, don't be dumb about it. Maybe try and convince them it's for cospIay, or a fashion thing you're into, but if you know they're anti trans, dont say it's cause you're trans. If they're cooI with gender things, then it's a Iot easier. Just write it down on a note what you wanna say, and then you can practice and settIe your nerves a touch; remember, the worst thing they can say is "No", in which case there are stiII ways you can try and go about binding, just that they're Iess effective. If you're not sure how your parent's feeI, then it might be better to try and subtIy work around and find that out; maybe ask about someone whose trans in media or sports, or something aIong those Iines

say "i need this cause i hate my body" and if they dont let you, call them a wh0re

in all seriousness, just tell them how you are feeling. if they truly care about you as their child and want you happy, they will let you get one.
