Autograph Blue Boxers
MOT/2024/NDOTC/EDIN/046
Tag The first pair of boxers I bought myself, in the summer of 202019. At the time I didn't realise I was trans, that I was "allowed" to just be trans if I wanted to. I didn't know what I was experiencing was gender euphoria, but I felt so good wearing them. [Formatting note: The 2nd "20" in "202019" has been struck through]

Black Cotton Long Binder - T-Kingdom Brand
MOT/2024/NDOTC/EDIN/026
Tag Damaged T-Kingdom binder. circa 2015. This binder is poorly made, of thick, uncomfortable fabric. It was painful to wear and broke a rib once – but still offered feelings of gender euphoria and reconnection with my body. It represents a complex relationship with binding, especially when safer options and trans-centered companies were not around & how imperfect means are better than none.
