Has anyone seen this- the photo certainly seem to glamourise chest binding. I’m really shocked even allowing for it being daily Mail- how do you get them to take down pictures

@SirSamuelVimes

Some behaviour is subject to social contagion, some is not.

Sexual attraction / orientation is not.
Trans / non-binary identification is.
Anorexia & bulimia are.
Self harming is.

Yep

It's tedious how T tries to co-opt LGB

They're nothing alike.

  • do you think reading about homosexuality influences others to be gay

Ridiculous comparison. Being homosexual doesn't involve damaging your body or risking your health:

Binding for extended periods of time can lead to rashess^ or yeast infectionss^ under the breasts,[5][6]^ backk or chest painn^, shortness of breathh^, overheating, or, rarely, fracturedd^ ribs.[4] Additionally, some unconventional binding materials, such as duct tape or athletic bandages, are known to increase an individual's risk for negative health outcomes such as shortness of breath, musculoskeletal damage, and skin damage.[7] Unsafe binding may lead to permanent deformation of the breasts,[8] scarring, and lung constriction,[9] and long-term binding may adversely affect the outcome of a future mastectomyy^.[10]

you think reading about homosexuality influences others to be gay? Fair enough if you don't agree with Trans ideology (as breast binding is part of), but the idea that exposure will influence young people to follow is dangerous.

It's not unheard of for young people to copy things they see famous people do. The article and announcement don't seem to give any information about the potential harms and risks of breast binding. I know the comparison has been made many times, but had this woman come out in support of breast ironing I'm quite sure her views would have been widely condemned and presented in a context that included the harm caused. The breast binding story however, is presented in a celebratory, and even glamorous way, and that is something that will inspire others.

- Anorexic people are ill.

Yeah, no shit. Do you not think "pro ana" sites might make them worse?

What is this if it isn't dysphoria?
It's either dysphoria or attention seeking

  • Anorexic people are ill.

Influence young girls to do the same?

Influence young girls to do the same? Make it normalised? Chest binding is not normal or acceptable- it’s barbaric. They wouldn’t show picture of FGM fgs …

It's all a bit heroin chic.
