| 0:03.0 | Hi, Q&A time. |
| 0:04.8 | You ready? |
| 0:05.8 | I'm ready. |
| 0:06.8 | All right, so this question says, I don't know whether my child's wearing a binder. |
| 0:10.6 | I've tried to find out by looking at her and hugging her. I've noticed some issues with her respiratory status seeming compromised as if she can't breathe sometimes and it doesn't seem like asthma. |
| 0:20.3 | Is she secretly binding? I'm afraid to trigger an anxiety episode in her if I bring it up. |
| 0:26.0 | She's not embracing discussions about this issue lately, |
| 0:29.0 | but it feels important to address it given the recent onset of these respiratory symptoms. |
