Publisher's Summary

A graphic guide to chest binding, adapted for audio, with real-life stories and research-backed advice from bestselling Gender Queer author MAIA KOBABE and University of Michigan professor SARAH PEITZMEIER.

Breathe arose from the need for a resource for folks considering chest binding as gender-affirming care. Dr. Peitzmeier interviewed twenty-five 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. Dr. Peitzmeier narrates this audiobook alongside a gender diverse cast.

Breathe is both a practical resource for trans and nonbinary folks and an engaging and perspective-broadening listen for anyone interested in what it means to be on a journey of expressing one’s gender in ways that are joyful, healthy, and affirming.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of Tips and Tools for Healthy Binding.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

★ "A short but powerful, important work. A unique, thoughtful, and evidence-based book perfect for individuals of any age considering binding or for readers interested in understanding the practice more thoroughly."—Booklist, starred review

"Practical, well-researched, and inclusive, this book is a breath of fresh air for readers looking to make informed, destigmatized, health-conscious decisions, and avoid the dangerous binding practices that occur due to an absence of information and surplus of judgment."—BCCB
