After some research as a bi man myself, I've come to this conclusion. Bi men x bi women solidarity, fellas.
I've mentioned tomboys so all types of masc women are included in it.

- Quick PSA -
Yall need to stop treating ellie/abby like men. I literally just saw an edit where the poster was referring to ellie with he/him pronouns and calling her a man because she "doesn't act like a princess". This is an issue a lot of masc women face, and, as a fem, it really gets on my last nerve. Masc women are still very much women. I also see a lot of artists that portray ellie and abby in this way as well (being super tall and just having ultra masculine features overall) to where it doesn't even resemble the original character anymore. We need to treat masc women with respect. Idgaf ab your sexist headcanons.

Review of Spectrum binder vs gc2b binder
Tldr; I’m super happy with my Spectrum binder, would recommend. I like it better than my gc2b ones.
I’m a butch/nonbinaryish person who’s been wearing binders on and off for about 2 years. The binders in question are the Spectrum short binder size S and the gc2b racerback size M.
gc2b binders
Longevity
- Had them for about 1.5 years, wore them probably about once a week on average (rotated between 3-4 and didn’t wear them every day).
- On the one I had the longest (almost 2 years), the shoulder stitching broke. It’s wearable, but the shoulder seam unfolds and makes a weird lump, so I don’t wear it if my other ones are clean.
- The other ones are still in great shape and haven’t stretched out at all.
Comfort
- Pretty comfortable. I often wore them all day and didn’t have any problems. The complaints I wrote below are more or less nitpicks.
- The shoulder straps are made of binding fabric, not stretchy fabric like the back, so those could be a little uncomfortable.
- The seams could be a little harsh, the ones along all the edges and under my armpits running down the inside. Nothing crazy, they just gave me mild red marks sometimes.
- The bottom of the binder doesn’t conform to your rib cage like the band of a bra, it’s a continuation of the fabric panel that’s squishing your chest. For that reason, it would stay elevated at the height of my chest and you could see the edge of it pressing against my shirt. I didn’t like this, so I would pull the back of my binder up high so the front would be tilted down, if that makes any sense. It worked for the most part, but increased the discomfort of the straps a little. I think maybe I should’ve bought a size S instead, that might have resolved this problem.
Binding
- As good as I could expect, did the job, no complaints.
Spectrum binder
Longevity
- Unknown, I just got it today.
Comfort
- Really good. The straps are made of stretchy fabric, not binding fabric, and they’re incredibly comfortable. Since the chest part holds itself on because it’s tight, there’s basically no pressure on the straps. They’re nice and wide, and made of soft fabric. More comfortable than any strapped thing I’ve ever worn.
- The bottom of the binder is the same level as my rib cage! I don’t know if this is because I ordered a smaller size or because Spectrum has some design secret, but I have zero issue with the bottom edge lifting up away from my ribs. It doesn’t squeeze my ribs either, it just rests lightly against them.
- The seams don’t dig into my skin like the gc2b ones do. Very comfortable.
- It feels a little stretchier for breathing purposes. The gc2b one was fine, but this one is even better.
Binding
- Great, everything I could ask for, no complaints.
Verdict
I like my Spectrum binder better than my gc2b ones.
I decided to write this review because I read a lot of tumblr transmasc people’s reviews before deciding to buy this Spectrum binder. The tumblr trans community also alerted me that gc2b binders have gone downhill, which is the only reason I switched brands (although now I’m really happy I did). Thanks y’all! I hope this post can be helpful to another transmasc person.

Sorry I didn’t include a whole set of front/side/everything comparisons. If you want more information about the binders, feel free to message me.
