Saw this on my Facebook today and I'm raging. The advice is one thing but all the supportive comments. This is not ok. There is never a safe way to bind it is a very harmful practice and to do so during a pandemic that attacks the lungs. It's like pro-ana sights making 'safe starvation' plans or how to purge in a safe way. We dont encourage the hatred of the body in other patient groups. Do you think that 'transphobia' and terfs will get the blame if those who bind start dying at ridiculous rates?

How is this a good thing? Who’d have thought we would see the modern version of warning women with consumption to ‘loosen their corsets’ in 2020! Ridiculous to think what they will say about this in another 100 years!!

Step one - it's a fucking pandemic, stop deliberately putting yourself more at risk.

Step two - repeat step one as needed.
