About this listen
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.
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
★ "This is an essential purchase for all secondary and public library collections as it provides health information in a readily accessible manner that is otherwise difficult to find in science-based resources."—SLJ, 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
