Publisher Description
A graphic guide to chest binding with real-life stories and research-backed advice from bestselling Gender Queer author MAIA KOBABE and University of Michigan professor SARAH PEITZMEIER.
Breathe arose from the need for a resource for folks considering chest binding as gender-affirming care. Dr. Peitzmeier interviewed twenty-five people of different ages and backgrounds about their journeys with binding, and then she and Kobabe combined excerpts from those interviews with evidence-based resources on binding into this extremely accessible guide.
Breathe is both a practical resource for trans and nonbinary folks and an engaging and perspective-broadening read for anyone interested in what it means to be on a journey of expressing one’s gender in ways that are joyful, healthy, and affirming.

More for Beginners and Younger People
This is a good book for people who are considering binding and those supporting them. If you’re already binding the stretches and tips might be helpful if you’re not already doing them or something similar. This by no means covers all the issues people have with binding. In fact, it covered none of the issues I have with binding, so in that sense it wasn’t helpful. However, I still enjoyed this book and wish I had it when I was younger.
