Here's the second installment in TNET's transition series: the new binding safely & effectively! This 36-pager forms a matched pair with tucking safely & effectively, with both being educational zines about modifying one's silhouette. In this zine, you'll find:

– Descriptions of the relevant anatomy,
– Step-by-step instructions for how to actually bind,
– How to select an appropriate binder,
– What clothing works well over binders,
– "What-if" scenarios and how to address each one,
– Ways of keeping yourself safe,
– Assurance that no one needs to bind to be valid in their gender, and
– Clear, detailed diagrams and beautiful illustrations by rainy batroff!

Anyone can buy and read this zine, regardless of their gender, expression, trans/cis status, or any other gendered trait! This'd make a great gift to your transmasculine loved ones, and makes for a good resource for those who work closely with trans people and their bodies.
