They can take my binder from my cold dead hands. I am never going back in the closet.

Yeah, binders can cause medical issues. But so can assistive walking aids. There are many studies about injuries attributed to canes and walkers. Should we make elderly people use wheelchairs only, even when society hasn't built the infrastructure to support them in many places and people treat you differently if you aren't at eye level?

Same here. Society shuns breasts on men just like the prejudices and barriers against people in wheelchairs. Every tool has risk. Every medical procedure can have poor outcomes. It's about balance. But I guess I shouldn't expect that understanding from people who shun vaccines.
