not out yet
i have pretty bad dysphoria. i know for one fact that i definitely need a binder, and i know for another fact that i am not out yet. so putting those two together, how can i get one of these without my family finding out? im going to tell them eventually, its just that im nervous about how theyre going to react. is there a soecial place i could send it? i dont have a credit card and my address is not safe to mail it to. could i have them send it to the nearest mail office and then i could pick it up there? and maybe use a friends card and repay them?

You could get a PO box at your mail office, though they are pricey, or if you have a friend or relative you are out to or are somewhat comfortable with, you can get it shipped to the friends house and pick it up when its there. and with the friends card, it depends if the friend is ok with it or not, but im pretty sure you can use it if they allow you to. Also there are many promgrams that send out free binders, for example, Point of Pride, if you cant afford them you may consider that too. https://pointofpride.org/chest-binder-donations/

if you can afford it, maybe buy a visa gift card because as far as i know you can get them at a post office or in a supermarket with cash. That way you can order the binder, pay with the card and then have it sent to a friends house. This is a way to get one without letting your parents know.
