Ftm chest binders to be sold in pharmacies in the Uk


Ftm chest binders to be sold in pharmacies in the Uk
The Issue
Through out the past couple of years i am sure i alot of people would have noticed the increase of transgender kids and also adults
As a transgender myself, i have noticed how expensive it is for ftm transgender kids to get a binder, binders are incredibly expensive as the binders do have to come from America, this results in having to pay a custom fee which is normally around £13 but if add that onto to the price of a binder which is normally £40 +£17 for shipping, it does result in becoming quite expensive
However there are also the people who can't get hold of a binder because of many reason for example;
The person maybe unable to come out due to a non-supportive family and there for it would seem "weird" for them to receive a binder in the mail
The person may be unable to afford a binder due to the high cost
These are only some of the reasons, transgender young people need support form the government
If i reach my target and can get chest binders sold in pharmacies i feel it will help the transgender community into becoming who they are
