The Binder Fund is a project to raise funds and sponsor chest binders for young trans/queer people in India to promote safe binding and self-care practices.

Transmasculine people often feel chest dysphoria due to their breast. They may aspire for a flatter chest that would make them appear more masculine and affirm their gender identity. This is where chest binding comes into the picture.
Chest binding is the process of compressing one's chest (breast) to appear flatter. For this the safest options available are chest binders made specifically to be worn by transgender people.

Proper chest binders for trans people (which are the safest) can be expensive especially for young trans/queer people in India, as these are not available in India. They need to purchased and shipped from abroad.
This often leads to young trans people trying cheaper options. Many DIYs float on the internet but these are harmful and may cause permanent damage to the body like tearing of skins and muscle, damage to lungs or ribs.

Therefore we wish to promote safe binding by sponsoring proper chest binders for young trans people who could not otherwise afford it.

Please contribute towards this fundraiser and support us in this journey of helping young trans/queer folx feel happy and keep their bodies safe.

The Binder Fund project is run by Kris Chudawala.
