I am clueless on what kind of gear there is, I am the only trans person that I know and I am clueless when looking up stuff. Can you explain what gear there is and how it could help me?

Binders- an elastic vest to give you the appearance of a flat chest- GC2B are the best company to buy from in regards to comfort and how well it works

Packers- a silicone prosthesis in the shape of a penis to create a realistic bulge in your pants

STP- stand to pee device- same as a packer but it has a tube through it usually with a funnel at the end so you can pee standing up

These are the main ones I can think off
They/them pronouns preferred.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with the binder one. gc2b can be great but they have also not worked at all for some. Underworks is another common binder brand that is less stretchy/comfortable but probably the next option after a gc2b.

Underworks works fine for those of us with larger chests.  It might not be as comfortable, but my two tri-tops give me the look I need to allay my dysphoria.  Gc2b is more for those that have smaller chests, and tbh, I don't really have much trouble with my binders.

There are all kinds of "gear" out there.  It depends on what you need it for.  Don't worry, there's a learning curve that we all had to go through, and even though I'm well-versed in many of them, I'm forever learning of new companies and new gear.

Take your time, decide what you need first, and aim for that.  :)

cquin1992, some good ideas already for you. One just needs to read what others are using and like and don't like about each, good place to read is here.  A couple of good comments on binders, best to buy a couple and see what works best for you.  Depending on your size and frame size, etc some will work better than others for you.  Good luck
