Physical expression is key to transmasculine people's identity, presentation of gender, comfort, and safety. We explored the significance of apparel among transmasculine young adults and the relationships between clothing and well-being via Photovoice, a participatory research method in which transmasculine young adults (N = 16), aged 19-25, used images to define their experiences. Data included photographs, group, and individual interviews. Theme analysis identified key intersections between health and apparel related to chest binding, body image, and health behavior. Findings provide implications for future research and practice to enhance the lives of transmasculine young people.
