[poem] A chest binder is a kind of hug

A chest binder is a kind of hug. A hug is a kind of reassuring squeeze, A promise of protection, warmth, And a chest binder is a kind of protection, a kind of warmth. I wear a hug and it protects me, Keeps me safe, Squeezes dysphoria into a tight embrace Until it defrosts into something new, something calming, Something warm.
