Project Free Binders: For trans men & non binary people
Donation protected
As a trans man myself, I remember just how life changing receiving my first binder was. It quite literally saved my life. The mission is to raise enough money to buy binders for trans men and non binary people around the UK (for now...)
Binding is the process of compressing or reducing chest tissue, it aims to make a person's chest look flatter. Binders are safe to use as long as they fit well. Chest binding can be an important part of someone affirming their gender identity and alleviating a lot of their gender dysphoria.
A lot of trans people either don't have the funds to buy their own binder, or the support from their parents to buy them one, so I want Project Free Binders to be the solution to this problem!
So if you can donate literally anything at all, you will not only make me the happiest man on earth, but you will be saving lives one binder at a time.
The photo above is me back in 2016, when I was fortunate enough to get top surgery. This meant I didn't have to wear a binder ever again.
Top surgery is not an easy request, the NHS waiting lists are years long, and going private can cost you upwards of £8,000, depending on where you go and if any revisions are required.
This is why binders can be extremely life changing.
High quality binders cost around £40, so for every £1,000 donated, that means we've helped change 25 lives. All the money raised will enable me to purchase and deliver binders to whoever needs one across the UK.
