Disturbing. If this is by a TiF, it suggests that she has a lot of trauma and self-loathing and sees wearing a binder as a form of self-harm(and thus a relief). Which... from everything I've seen, that's likely true for a lot of them.

It is for my TIF niece. And she's got other girls doing it now too. And her parents know the risks full well but can't see it for what it is.

I used to wear two of the smallest sports bras I could squeeze into layered on top of each other. My best girlfriend wore thick baggy hoodies every single day, year round.

It's heartbreaking how young women feel about their bodies and I'm sick to death of gender ideologies taking advantage of this painful stage in a young woman's development.
