Unsure

Hi hi!! Recently I've been looking into binders, and I'd really like to purchase one. However, I'm unsure of how to go about it. My parents have no idea I'm non binary, and they aren't exactly supportive of LGBTQ+ people. I've got some options for what I could do.

Ask my parents if I can buy a binder.

Asking my parents is probably the best idea, even if they say no, I can still use the method I've got currently. However, my main concern comes with my parents asking questions about why I want to wear one. I might write down some responses I can give if my parents do ask anything, so as not to out myself.

Buy a binder and hide it from my parents.

This option could work, however I feel like it might not end well. My parents are probably going to notice at some point, and then they will most definitely ask questions. It would be hard to regularly wear and wash my binder without anybody noticing, and I don't really want to sneak around just to feel more comfortable as myself.

Of course, I could always simply keep using the dual sports bra method, though the ones I have are really old and worn out at this point. My main concern is my parents asking questions, though its also likely that my Mom would just say "sure," and I'd be able to wear my binder without trying to hide it or anything. I'm unsure what the response will be, so I'm a bit cautious about asking.

Thanks for listening!!!! -Mii
