    I'm a cis-female, fluid with my gender expression. But I'm short and super busty, so on center-of-center days, these DDs are such an inconvenience. There are clothes I wish I could wear that will just never look right (don't even tell me to size up in a buttondown...)

    I'm not quite at the point where i want to fully bind, but I'd like to flatten out a bit so that I have the option of wearing more androgynous clothing/making womens clothing look more masculine.

    Any tips from large-chested genderfluid genderqueer or trans* folks?

    I almost know how you feel. Though not genderqueer, I tend to dress pretty androgynous, and as a large C girl, it can get pretty difficult. Unfortunately, I tend to do exactly what you said not to suggest, size up. XD Sorry. Honestly, I never quite the hang of binding, and finally gave it up. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I hope you get some more answers and suggestions, as they would help other people too.

    Get a tight sports bra or buy a compression shirt.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna have to try on a bunch of stuff, i might just have to layer over my button-ups or something.

    I have DDD and I use sport bras to bring me down to a C, and then wear baggy clothes. :/

    Hey,

    I'd like to ask if compression shirts are comfortable? Do they affect breathing or anything?
    Where can one buy them?
