Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding by Maia Kobabe

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

I learned a LOT about binding that I had never known before. The info was easily absorbed as it was told from first person POVs, with other details of gender journeys that helped put into context the various motivations for binding. The resources, including illustrated exercises to keep the body parts affected by binding in good health, were a super helpful feature. I want to hand this book out to so many folx!

Content Warnings

This book is about AFAB bodies and gender expansiveness so, naturally, there will be some descriptions of dysphoria and struggles with queer-phobia—however it is all dealt with in a respectful, informative way that ultimately feels very encouraging.
