LGBTQ group overwhelmed with requests for ‘chest binders’ from transitioning teensBy MaryAnn Martinez
April 13, 2023
A group which provides free “chest binders” to young people who are transitioning claim they can’t keep up with demand for the controversial breast-flattening garments.
Chest binders have recently made headlines after two were given to a 13-year-old Maine girl by a public school staffer without her parents’ permission or knowledge.
Mom Amber Lavigne has since filed a federal lawsuit claiming the school deprived her of her constitutional right to direct her child’s upbringing.
Despite the debate, several LGBTQ groups who mail free chest binders to kids say there’s a backlog, with more people wanting them than garments available.
“It’s become such a need,” Binders for Confident Kids Founder Elizabeth Haley told The Post.
