Inside the Landmark, Long Overdue Study on Chest Binding

“Based on our preliminary analysis, for most participants, binding was a positive experience and led to improvements in mood and self-esteem, minimized gender dysphoria, anxiety, and depression, and helped them to feel in control of their bodies. In fact, some reported that a positive impact on emotional and behavioral health makes the physical discomfort of binding worth it.”

This is being called the first medical research study on chest binding. Great news that research is focusing on something that impacts the daily lives of many queer and trans people!
