The TNET Binding Safely & Effectively zine is a 36-page, beautifully illustrated guide designed to help readers understand and practice chest binding in a safe, informed way. Created as a companion to Tucking Safely & Effectively, this resource blends clear, accessible writing with step-by-step instructions, detailed anatomy explanations, and practical advice for selecting and wearing binders. It offers an affirming and body-positive approach, making it valuable for transmasculine readers, allies, and anyone looking to better support the trans community. Inside, you’ll find in-depth guidance on choosing the right binder for your needs, what clothing works best over binders, and how to navigate common “what-if” scenarios. The zine also emphasizes that binding is always a personal choice, and no one needs to bind to be valid in their gender. Illustrated by Rainy Batroff, the pages feature clear diagrams that make learning safe binding techniques easier for all readers. This is an excellent resource for both personal education and for those working with or supporting trans individuals.
