fun fact: this character was originally female but then for some reason i made him male. then i made him ftm because he was originally female character.

when i was younger and starting to realize my own gender identity, i thought that only way to bind is to use bandages. and this was just because that was the only way i had seen characters bind in art and i ended up binding with bandages for a while.
since i have first hand experience of how harmful it can be (especially to young trans people) to draw characters binding with unsafe methods and without proper disclaimers about binding safety, i do not wish to cause that damage for anyone else and i try my best to promote safe binding in my artwork :)

I did the same, I'm happy to see people actively work against harmful representation in art. Hope that people will get woke enough to stop with that bandage shit. Good on you for helping dismantle the misinformation. /highfivesyou/
Similar story here- young, uneducated, and misinformed through media i consumed so I used like the most unsafe methods (ex/ duct tape, stiff cloth strips (way to go disney mulan XD ) and rubber strips). I moved to ace bandages, then eventually learned about the damage it was causing the hard way. Couldn't do binders when i needed them most because of the damage.
Ended up having to get topsurgery way sooner than was ideal (cost and environmental factors there) basically just so I could live bc free balling wasn't an option for my irl situation, and i couldn't bind. Grew out my hair and faked my way through a few years with shitty jobs to build up cash, ended up financing partially b/c emotional strain was way too much to wait longer/ partially b/c I was beginning to fail to pass as my assigned gender. \o/
