Following the announcement from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of new rules that would end gender-affirming care for minors, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) threatened companies that sell chest binders to help with gender dysphoria. The FDA sent letters to 12 companies that sell chest binders claiming that they are violating the law by not registering their binders as medical devices, despite the fact that it has never been necessary.

 "This administration is trying to control every ounce of trans people's lives and dictate who they can and cannot be," Brandon Wolf, national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, told The Advocate. "As life gets harder for the American people at the hands of this cruel and incompetent administration, they are spending their time terrorizing families and harassing companies simply because their products are sometimes used by trans people."

Letters were sent to 12 sellers of chest binders: TransGuy Supply, ShapeShifter Apparel, The Fluxion, GenderBender, Marli Washington Design, Tomboy X, Flavnt Streetwear, Early to Bed, Tom Scout, For Them, Passional Boutique, and Trans-Missie.

Some trans and nonbinary people wear chest binders to reduce the appearance of breast tissue. Before they became more available, it was common for people to wear multiple sports bras at once or to bind with other materials. They provide some support and can mitigate gender dysphoria for some people, but that is not their sole use. They are also used by cis people for both medical and non-medical purposes.

Un-believable.  Next they'll require gender identity proof to buy underwear of any type.
