[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like the title to the thread is misleading. The kid hasn't asked for a binder and isn't even aware that such a thing exists.  It sounds like Mom has been googling and came up with this on her own.

Based on that information, it seems totally reasonable to start with a sports bra and see if that makes your child feel comfortable.  If they're still uncomfortable, then you can have a next conversation.

OP here- just clarifying, my child was searching for binders. My child has shared they are exploring their gender identity. This all does seem to be happening with the onset of puberty (no period yet, but other things are happening) so I do wonder if some of it  (all of it? Any of it?) is related to not being comfortable with a grown up body just yet.

I appreciate people sharing their own experiences as a parent, or from growing up. It’s helping me think through a lot of things[/quote]

Of your kid hasn't displayed gender confusion in the last 5 years prior, it's unlikely they know what they are talking about at 10.[/quote]
