I loved this! I loved that it talks about binding safety and shares a variety of people's experiences with binding. But more than that, as someone who has done human sciences research, I was so stoked to see this as a mode for presenting research! It's accessible to so many people, you're sharing the stories that people want shared, and contextualizing it all with practical information and ways to reflect. I love this and I want to see more like it (and I want to make things like this tbh) There are some things that I wish they went into more, but over all, this was cool!

This book made a point, that people prioritize their mental health over physical health, that people think it's worth the pain for the gender euphoria. And I think this is a fantastic resource for trans people to help mitigate injuries that can be caused by binding.
I liked that we learned the specific stories from people who were part of the study, then are given the tracking and journaling activities used by the study. It also includes stretches that can be done to help make binding easier on the body, which was something I had never read or heard about before.
Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
