I loved this graphic novel. It follows the stories of four individuals of diverse identities and ages, encapsulating the findings of the authors' research on the use of binders within the transgender community. Each narrative delves into the motivations behind their decisions and the journey they embarked on to find the correct tools to manage a safe practice. They offer a range of physical and mental health exercises to provide healthy ways of finding what works best and how to detect when you need to change strategies. Lastly, the novel presents the research results regarding the physical consequences versus the mental health benefits of binding.
The information was incredibly insightful and beautifully articulated. I believe everyone should read this at some point, especially young readers eager to understand how to feel better in their own bodies.
I received a free copy from NetGalley. This is an honest review.
