LGBTQ Center at Binghamton University Hosts Breast-Binding Workshop
The LGBTQ Center at Binghamton State University in New York recently organized a private event focused on breast binding using “trans tape.” This session was designed to help women learn effective binding techniques.
According to an announcement made on January 27th, the Center will feature a guest speaker, Quyen Tran, on February 2nd from 5 PM to 7 PM. The post emphasized that this would be an in-person demonstration followed by a Q&A session. While anyone is welcome to attend, the event specifically targets those who currently use TransTape. Pre-registration isn’t necessary, but attendees should note that the doors will be closed during the session, so arriving early is recommended.
Interestingly, the post mentions that attendees can send in questions to Tran ahead of the event via direct message. Tran is associated with TransTape, a website providing chest binding tape and starter kits. On their profile, Tran shares the benefits of using TransTape, elaborating on how it enhances their life, both in and out of drag. From allowing greater freedom in activities like hiking or swimming to contributing to their drag king persona, the versatility of TransTape seems to resonate strongly with them.
Additionally, alongside the discussion about breast-binding, Tran’s background includes identifying as a drag king and an LGBTQ+ educator. This highlights a broader commitment within the community to foster understanding and support around various gender expressions.
On another note, Tran’s profile includes details about their personal experiences, like the freedom they feel when using TransTape, as well as their enjoyment of unique activities like skinny dipping.
The LGBTQ Center’s initiative emphasizes inclusivity and education, creating a safe space for exploration and learning about body autonomy. It’s intriguing, really, to see how events like these serve to empower individuals, fostering a sense of community and understanding.
