So, I've got questions and I really need answers. 1. Any way I can bind safely without an actual binder? 2. Gender-neutral names? 3. Tips on coming out? I'm afraid my friends won't remember the proper pronouns.
As for binding, you can always use a sports bra. One regular size, one a size too small. You don't want them to be too tight or they can cause damage to your ribs and spine. As for the names, I've always thought of Skyler/Skylar as a fairly neutral name. Others include: Taylor Logan (though it's most often used for males) Alex Jordan Ramsay Now as for coming out, it's hard for anyone to do this. If they've been your friends for a while, then they'll be more used to calling you by your old pronouns. Start out with one or two people and ask them to call you by a preferred pronoun and correct them or let them correct themselves. Once they get more used to it, get a few more people to do it. Just ease into it. There's no need to rush it. Anyways good luck with this and I hope all goes well!
