Trans tape

I’ve been binding for over 4 years, binding gets me flat enough to pass and not be questioned.

Never tried trans tape or learnt to use it properly really - can anyone tell me if it’s worth it, if it’s safe to wear/use as stealth, average amount of time it can be on for without reapplication and the best tape reccomendations/techniques for the flattest chest as I do go stealth a lot of places and need to be safe!

I know I can research these things but I just want reliable advice and intel. :)

Family advice needed

My family have known I’m trans a long time, recently we went the whole hog and finally started asking people in my family to start using my preferred pronouns (he/him) as Ive started T. I’ve been out to my freinds ect socially outside of family for over 4-5 years, my family have kinda always known but have used my birth pronouns up until recently. I pass well and often can go stealth.

My mum genuinely never ever slips up and consistently around the house will use my correct pronouns, but I’m having an issue with my sister and dad and wider family. It’s not that their transphobic at all but they will slip up consistently and then say, “I mean he” in an almost strange tone - like they don’t believe im a boy but instead are just catering to my act if you understand what I mean??

My sister doesn’t even try at all she calls me her sister and she/her constantly, she is only 10 but everytime I try and have a chat with her about it she stays engaged for a total of 3 minutes before walking away and continuing on the same.

My auntys and nan ect they constantly slip up and do that thing again where they say oh HE.

I’m used to being out with people that meet me as a man and I’m just kind of struggling to acclimatise to this, it feels like my mum genuinely sees me as her son and everyone else just feels as though they are catering to me but don’t actually see me that way.

Any advice would be appreciated, I’m sorry if I sound braggy or annoying as I know these things take time it’s just been playing on my mind.

Cheaper binder options

SITUATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED thank you all for your kindness that replied with offers ect, always grateful to have such a kind community!

Hi guys kinda abit embarrassing to post this but nonetheless I need advice. Does anyone have any tips on how to get a binder cheaper, mine has broken. For reference I’m quite skinny with a large chest so the only binders that typically work for me are spectrum or gcb. My current binder I’ve had for over a year and this morning it ripped and is genuinely just destroyed after being worn with no rotation ( I do take breaks) for over a year now.

I’m stealth at uni and absolutely won’t get away with my chest how it is, and I won’t get away if taking the time off until I can afford a binder that actually works for me.

If anyone knows any forums or charity’s or binders under 15£ that are actually good quality please share with me :)

Guinea pigs are petrified

I brought my two boys home 3 days ago, anytime I open the door they crawl into the back of this hide I’ve provided and inevitably hide away from any contact. Last night I managed to feed some carrot to the more confident fella through the bars. Any advice or tips on what I should be doing next to get them less scared of moi?
