Information about this site, which reviews movies, shows, and documentaries about trans men and transmasculine people. Frequently Asked Questions Who's Jack? I am a trans man. I am post-transition and have lived as a bloke for many years. I chiefly just introduce myself as a man and am non-disclosing in many parts of my life, but if asked to choose gender labels which describe my background, I would say that I am a trans man, a female-to-male transsexual, an FTM man, or a man who was born female. My reviews of media are, of course, informed by my own background, lived experience, and cultural context. While I hope that the perspective of one trans man is helpful for trans men, transmasculine people, and non-binary people who are seeking gender-diverse media, my perspectives are not universal! I recognise that and embrace it. You may disagree with my reviews mildly or strongly, which is important. The aim of this site is not to say, "here's my opinion and it's the only correct one," but rather to continue the conversation around trans male, transmasculine, and AFAB gender-diverse media, and collate this list so that others can join that conversation with their own opinions and perspectives. Why Create This Site? Trans male, transmasculine, and AFAB gender-diverse media is discussed more widely nowadays but, when I was coming up, I was frequently told that the only trans male movie was Boys Don't Cry. That, putting it gently, was bullshit. So much of our media has been erased or ignored. For example, I had never heard of the groundbreaking Brazilian movie Vera , released in 1986, until a site visitor named Adrian generously reached out to let me know about it. I had never heard of the 1995 documentary Shinjuku Boys , featuring a trans man and other Japanese gender-diverse interviewees who bound their chests and socially presented as men in professional and personal contexts. Nobody in my orbit had ever brought up Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), co-written by the much-loved Roger Ebert, as an example of historical anti-FTM transphobia, nor the 1972 movie Private Parts . Even when lists of amazing, history-making trans movies started to include more trans male movies beyond Boys Don't Cry, the focus was typically on media coming out of North America, with movies like Khastegi (2008) being totally ignored. Khastegi , a feature-length movie, starred trans actors as trans characters, showed a wide range of lived experiences, and depicted struggles faced by both trans men and women... It was made in Iran, though, apparently making it invisible or unworthy to Western commentators. Put simply, trans media is so much more diverse than what I was being told, and I got sick of that. The final straw was when I watched the 2020 documentary Disclosure , which erased or glossed over so much trans male and transmasculine media. It purported to discuss trans representation in a robust and inclusive way, but could not even adequately critique a theme which goes hand-in-hand with trans male and transmasculine media; bandage binding. Whenever I sit down to watch a trans male or transmasculine movie, the chances are pretty high that I will see a character wrapping their body in bandages. The harms that this causes, the generations who have been impacted, and the other forms of binding which are depicted in our media deserve in-depth, thorough critique. The heath and comfort of modern-day trans and gender-diverse people is at risk. Our bodies are on the line. The only mention of chest binding in Disclosure, to my memory, was a trans woman talking about "strapping" down her chest to play the role of a detransitioning MTFTM man. At first, I wondered how such a serious issue could be so neglected in the documentary, but the answer is pretty obvious; trans male and transmasculine media was still being erased, and treated as less important. Since I wasn't seeing that conversation occurring in a robust enough way, I decided to build those resources myself, to facilitate that conversation. Here is more information about chest binding in movies, shows, and documentaries. Why "Trans Male" Resources? I chiefly started this website with trans men in mind. I am a trans man, I love my fellow trans men, and the health and representation of trans men was what initially motivated me. This site does still have the primary aim of gathering representation for trans men, with the secondary aim of gathering representation for other gender-diverse people who were assigned female at birth. I realised fairly quickly that trans male media (and history overall) cannot be so easily separated from other AFAB gender-diverse identities. For example, consider the 2011 film Tomboy . I had been told that it was a movie about a trans boy, but when I researched it further, I found out that so, so many butches and transmasculine people found it to be one of the most accurate depictions of their childhood, with the director confirming that this ambiguity had been the intention. The 2008 film Mein Freund aus Faro was imagined as somewhat of a prequel to the movie Boys Don't Cry, with the director stating that the protagonist's gender uncertainty was deliberate; would the protagonist go on to live as a trans man or perhaps a butch lesbian? We don't know. Just using these two films as an example, I was not interested in framing them as exclusively trans male movies, because they aren't. That would be erasing the complexity of the films. I also feel a solidarity with trans and gender-diverse people who were assigned female at birth, because so many of us have been affected by the same media. So many of us bound our chests unsafely or found happiness in trans male, gender-ambiguous, or androgynous characters who somewhat resembled us, even if we ended up using different labels. This site is about our media. Why Haven't You Included A Particular Show, Film, or Documentary? I'm working on it! I recently got through a health crisis, so am slowly building up the website again. Thank you for your patience! You also will not see purely pornographic media on this site. There is a lot of trans male and AFAB gender diversity to be found in adult films, such as those produced by the wonderfully inclusive Crash Pad Series, but I'd rather keep this site non-pornographic. Do You Make Money From This Site? Nope. This is a labour of love, and a way to turn my frustration with the erasure/invisibility of our media into a productive project. I didn't want to sit around being bitter when I could do something instead. Can We Make Recommendations? Yes, you can contact me on Reddit .

A trans man's critique of chest binding in movies, shows, documentaries, from bandage binding to open chest binding. Chest Binding in Movies, Shows, Documentaries, and Other Media What is Chest Binding, and Why Do People Bind? Put simply, chest binding is the act of flattening your chest. A wide range of people flatten their chests. Here are some examples: Cis men with gynaecomastia (increased breast tissue). Trans men. Non-binary people. Gender non-conforming women. Lesbians and butches. Drag kings. Cosplayers and crossdressers. Here are some motivations for binding: Reducing body dysphoria toward one's chest, and/or experiencing the gender euphoria of a flatter chest. Reducing social dysphoria which may result from being misgendered. Being safer in public, if being read as male will protect a person from harassment or violence. For example, see the documentary Transition (2023) . Temporarily presenting in a masculine, male, or androgynous style, for identity or fandom or fashion purposes. Is Binding Safe? Binding comes with risks, even if a reputable, well-designed, properly-sized binder is used. In this study , 97% of respondents had experienced at least one negative symptom caused by binding, including minor symptoms like temporary skin irritation. This study found that most symptoms will become apparent quickly, with more serious symptoms (such as rib fractures, which are rare) taking many more years to develop. This emphasises the importance of taking symptoms seriously when they do appear, rather than pushing through pain or discomfort. For many people, if they take minor symptoms seriously and proceed with caution, binding will be relatively safe. For me, however, binding was not sustainable or painless, even when I wore binders which were advertised to me as being absolutely safe. Ultimately, more research is needed into chest binding, so that we have a more robust body of research to be informed by. Binding is a huge part of many people's lives, especially those who bind for safety reasons, and those people deserve empirical evidence. You can learn more about chest binding here . Some methods of binding are safer than others. Unfortunately, more dangerous methods dominate media depictions of trans men, non-binary people, and gender non-conforming individuals assigned female at birth. Disclosure (2020), a documentary purporting to thoroughly analyse trans representation in the media, failed to offer an in-depth critique of chest binding depictions, despite how widespread harmful binding depictions are, which is one of the reasons I created this site. Safer binders are typically stiff/taut at the front, to flatten the chest, while being looser across the back. The safest binders also have shoulder straps, as that extra support helps take pressure of the ribcage and back, compared to wrap-around binders which apply consistent pressure around the entire torso, just like bandages. Denny, a non-binary person in the 2023 film Under My Skin , binding with bandages. Bandage Binding in Media You might think bandaging your chest flat is an ideal, consequence-free way to alleviate your dysphoria and otherwise affirm your gender. Nobody could really blame you for having that belief; films and shows continue to reinforce this false, dangerous myth, despite resistance from our communities. The truth is that binding with bandages is unsafe, difficult, painful, and potentially injurious. That is why misrepresentations of bandage binding are so important to criticise. Plus, not all trans men are slender, small-chested people who have someone to help us wind bandages around our ribcage. Bandage binding isn't just painful, it's impractical. In reality, a person binding with bandages is more likely to get this kind of outcome: James, a trans man in the 2013 film 52 Tuesdays , binding with bandages and duct tape. To my immense disappointment, genderfluid star Ruby Rose perpetuated the myth of easy bandage binding in her video Break Free , which has been watched over 55 million times. Her video, much like other media depictions of bandage binding, cuts from footage of her manually wrapping herself in bandages, to footage of bandages perfectly wrapped around her and neatly clipped down behind her back. Folks and fellas, believe me, she did not accomplish that by herself. She had a team of people to help wind the bandages around her, keep them straight and untwisted, and clip them down where she couldn't reach. I don't need to guess whether that was the case, because the behind-the-scenes footage proves as much: Ruby Rose being bound in bandages for the 2014 short film Break Free. Break Free gave, and is still giving, millions of people the impression that bandage binding is an easy, safe, and accessible way to flatten your chest. Trans men, questioning people, non-binary individuals, butch lesbians, cosplayers, and others are harmed by Rose's video, and by all media which depicts bandage binding in a similarly unrealistic way. Break Free is, therefore, a notable example of irresponsible media depicting chest binding unrealistically. Alexia/Adrien, a crossdressing woman in the 2021 film Titane, binding with bandages. Ironically, the most accurate depiction of bandage binding (in terms of how much pain it can cause) comes from Titane , a 2021 body horror film where a woman assumes the identity of a missing man in order to escape arrest. While it is not a trans film, I consider it valuable because it does not glorify, idealise, or promote bandage binding as an easy method of chest flattening. In that department, though it's a gruesome movie, I consider it less harmful than idealised depictions like Break Free . Nobody walks away from Titane thinking that bandage binding is safe or comfortable. A drag king being bound in duct tape, in the 2002 documentary Venus Boyz . Duct Tape Binding in Media Duct tape binding is even more dangerous than bandage binding, with a higher risk of serious or lasting symptoms. One of the most dangerous depictions of this practice occurs in Venus Boyz (2002), when a drag king is shown being tightly bound by another drag performer. Clearly in pain, the king admits that the binding is hurting his body, but this is not taken seriously by himself or by anybody else, and his group proceeds with the plans they'd scheduled, this king accompanying the group while wrapped in duct tape beneath his clothes. The Aggressives (2005) also features a performer being bound in duct tape, with the documentary's promotional material featuring that same king with a duct-taped chest. Such documentaries are crucially important to illustrate what our communities have been through, and how we used to bind, but modern-day media needs to set a safer example for vulnerable and dysphoric viewers. Disclaimers are the bare minimum, if binding practices like this are being depicted. Chevy, a trans man in the 2019 short documentary Girlz to MEN , revealing his duct tape chest binding. Chevy, a trans man in the short documentary Girlz to MEN (2019), revealed to interviewers that he binds with duct tape, believing that this harmful practice makes him more "real" than trans men who opt for less dangerous methods of chest flattening, or who do not bind at all. I found this very concerning, especially because viewers are not informed how debilitating duct tape binding is, and his interview is shown with no disclaimers. Trans men and gender-diverse people sharing their life experiences, and filmmakers not considering the safety of viewers when representing such experiences, is one thing. A whole other issue is the thoughtless misrepresentation of duct tape chest binding by cis-centric media. Lam Chi-wing being bound in duct tape, in the 1994 comedy film He's a Woman, She's a Man. 金枝玉葉 ( He's a Woman, She's a Man ) features a woman being bound in duct tape in order to crossdress as a man for the majority of the film. This is egregious, certainly, but that film came out in 1994, when knowledge about chest binding was far more limited than in the modern-day. The Assignment , released more than two decades later, is another matter entirely. Frank Kitchen, a cis man who transitioned unwillingly, binding his chest with duct tape in the 2016 film The Assignment. While much of the trans community's backlash focused on the movie's forced transition plot, its depictions of duct tape chest binding were what I found truly alarming. The director Walter Hill defended his film and insisted that he "wouldn't make a movie that hurt transgender people", adding, "some of them have had a tough time of it, and the last thing I want to do is make anyone's road harder". I would say that depicting duct tape chest binding is just about as harmful as you can get, and romanticising that practice could indeed make viewers' lives harder... to the point of injury and illness, no less. If Hill couldn't depict duct tape chest binding realistically, perhaps showing how harmful it is (à la Titane ), he shouldn't have introduced it into a pulp film where nothing is taken seriously. Vincent Lamarre in the 2018 documentary Ti-gars , putting on a chest binder. Modern Binders in Media Commercial chest binders are certainly a step up from bandages and duct tape, and I am always glad when a film, show, documentary, or another piece of media shows gender-diverse and gender non-conforming people flattening their chests in that safer way. That said, not all binders are made equal. Denny, a non-binary person in the 2023 film Under My Skin , using a clasp binder. In the film Under My Skin, the non-binary protagonist stops using bandages to bind their chest, and switches to a chest binder instead. This choice is not presented in the context of bandage binding being potentially painful and dangerous, and a viewer who is inexperienced with binding may not grasp that at all from this movie, instead assuming that the switch is a mere preference motivated by convenience rather than safety. And the binder itself looks very similar to the cheap, poorly-designed binders which are, at the time of writing, widely available on sites like Amazon. Many manufacturers who produce clasp binders offer, essentially, wrap-around binders which apply consistent pressure all around the ribcage (just like bandages or duct tape), with shoulder straps doing nothing to alleviate that pressure through structural support. The shoulder straps, in many clasp binders, are either for aesthetic purposes or intended to deceptively mimic the appearance of safer binders. Ari, a non-binary person in the 2021 film Make Me A King , using a wrap-around clasp binder without shoulder straps. Now, if a binder is designed as safely as possible (taut across the front, looser across the back, with shoulder straps that actually provide structural support), and clasps are just taking the place of seams on the side... that would be a safer binder design. But most clasp binders are very unsafe, making their appearances in media dangerous, where such appearances do not equip viewers to understand that a clasp binder should be viewed with suspicion unless manufacturers specify the safety of its design. In the case of films like Under My Skin, the safest approach to binding (if considering the example being set for viewers) would be to promote a binder without clasps, or to somehow note that the protagonist's safe clasp binder is an exception rather than the rule. Cris Salamanca, a young trans man in the 2012 documentary TRANS . Even "safe" binders can be worn unsafely. In TRANS (2012), for example, a trans man is shown putting on two chest binders in order to achieve a flatter chest. Double-binding effectively eliminates any safety measures by compressing the chest, back, and ribcage too much, meaning that there is no area of alleviated pressure. Tosiek, a teenage trans man in the 2023 film Fanfik , binding for the first time. Alternative Binding Methods in Media While I disliked Fanfik (2023), chiefly for filmmaking and writing reasons as opposed to issues with representation, I appreciated its depiction of chest binding. Tosiek, a trans man who is newly exploring his gender identity and has seemingly never bound his chest before, watches educational videos about open chest binding and tries that method, rather than using bandages. Filmmakers easily could have followed a long, long history of newly-exploring trans men and gender-diverse people wrapping themselves in bandages. Fanfik avoided that trope. I didn't like the movie, but I was thankful for that. A trans male weightlifter in the 2018 documentary Man Made . Open chest binding is a method of chest flattening where people use tape to pull their chest flatter and to the side, with the tape (importantly) not being wrapped around the back. The goal is to not use too much tape, and not to compress the tissue too much, meaning that some experimentation is required before people can figure out whether it is sustainable or comfortable for them. If it works for people, it has the advantage of not compressing the ribcage (unlike binders) and restricting movement far less. This method tends to work better for people who are smaller-chested, it absolutely doesn't work for everyone, and it is not risk-free. It can come with skin irritation and other symptoms. That said, I felt it was depicted well in Fanfik. I also liked the fact that the educational video Tosiek is watching is partly shown, emphasising to viewers that such videos are available, and there are many community members who have discovered what is safe and unsafe for them personally, encouraging people to seek out those insights. Finn, a trans man in the 2020 film Unsound , lifting weights while binding. Exertion While Binding in Media More research is needed to thoroughly explore the impacts of chest binding while exercising or exerting yourself. The research that does currently exist , however, shows that breathing is shallower while exercising in a binder, and that there is increased risk of other symptoms, such as pain. There is even research that improperly-sized sports bras can impact breathing ; this is not just a binding issue, but binding is notably more unsafe. Looser support or compression of the chest may alleviate or lessen breathing difficulties, and reduce the risk of other symptoms. The advice typically given to community members is to wear an appropriately-sized sports bra or a looser binder (for example, one size larger) while exercising. Dominic lifting weights in the 2018 documentary Man Made . While, again, more research and evidence is needed, one thing is for certain; media which depicts people exercising while binding, without any caveats or warnings, is potentially harming community members who may follow that example without realising the dangers. I was particularly disappointed that Man Made, a 2018 trans-directed documentary, showed footage of a trans man weightlifting in a binder, without a warning to viewers that this is potentially dangerous.
