    I know it seems like a silly question but do genderfluid people use binders? I don't have any genderfluid friends that bind and whenever I tell people that I use binders they usually say binding is only for trans men. is this true?

    That is not true at all. Anyone, whether they're Non-Binary or Trans can bind, some butch lesbians even bind. It's just personal preference.

    Genderfluid people can definitely bind if they want to, and I've seen genderfluid people that have. Basically anyone who wants to bind can, if they are able. The activity isn't restricted to a certain identity.

    You may bind as a genderfluid person! Nothing wrong with it! I used to do it when I thought I was still genderfluid :slight_smile: whATEVEr makes you happy.

    Bind if you want to, make sure you don't hurt yourself. Everyone has a right to be comfortable as they are, choosing to bind or not is just about making yourself happy and comfortable. Bind away!

    Peace

    If it makes you more comfortable in your own skin, then go for it. Even if someone was nonbinary and identified more as a girl or something and still wanted to bind, I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be able to. There are even some genderfluid people who love their breasts but still use masculine pronouns/names etc etc.... every person is different. I personally would love to bind but just can't since I have chronic shoulder pain. Do as you please!
