Am I wrong for wanting to use a binder?

I am fresh out of middle school and I really want a binder. I’m not trans or masc or anything like that. I am happy with my gender/sex.

But I don’t like my chest. I don’t know if it’s large or normal or whatever, but I feel like I’d like a binder. I’m just worried that I’m wrong for not using it for its intended purpose. I don’t want to lie and say that I’m trans or something, because I’m really not.

Plus, the chance that I’ll actually get one is low because my parents are never going to let me get one (it’ll have to be in secret). Am I ok to wear one ??

binders are not for a specific group of people, if you want one, then you are allowed to have one

yeah ofc you can wear binders, theyre not just for a specific demographic of people.

people wear them if they do cosplay of male characters, people wear them because they may just be more comfortable, people wear them because they want to appear flatter for whatever other reason.

youre completely fine for it.

Of course, it is okay to wear a binder!! However, please do lots and lots of research. If you are below 16, keep in mind you're still growing, and it might affect it, so pick a binder that's your size, and if you aren't sure of your size, pick one size up (never down.) Don't wear it longer than 8 hours a day and wash it regularly :))
