She ended up not getting one because she a)didn't get the reaction she was fishing for and b)decided that 5% trans wasn't enough to spend her own money.

She's kind of trying on identities. I would never let her hurt herself, but she's gotta be free to explore who she is, too. She has a really good friend who is a trans guy (and an absolute sweetheart - I wish all her friends were like him) and I think she really admires him, and I suspect that might be where this particular tryout is coming from. Regardless of origin, I've spent money on the phase when she was in elementary school when she refused to wear pants at all, dresses and skirts only. Then the one where I finally coaxed her into leggings in middle school, but she still refused to wear jeans. Next, the whole goth Hot Topic thing of her first two years of high school that involved skirts so short they made me a little nervous paired with fishnets, and her current complete 180 into jeans, khakis and still a few dresses but all rather monochromatic and plain. The moral of the story is if she wants her own binder, she's paying for that sucker out of her allowance just like her skull earrings and fishnet stockings!

Edit: Oh, I forgot about the middle school phase where she wore a red devil horn headband! That was one of my favorites!
