About this book

To create Breathe, Peitzmeier interviewed dozens of people of different ages and backgrounds about their journeys with binding, and then she and Kobabe combined excerpts from those interviews with evidence-based resources on binding into this extremely accessible guide. The result is both a practical resource for trans and nonbinary folks and an engaging and perspective-broadening read for anyone interested in what gender-affirming care actually means to people experiencing gender dysphoria. Includes fill-in activities and journal prompts.
