I’d like to offer an addition to the headcanon, as somebody who wears a binder and knows that one like the one that I wear wouldn’t be safe in Spiderman’s situation. He is doing acrobatics, fast moving, lots of stretching and twisting, heavy breathing, in life or death situations. You can’t stop for a breather with Thanos or Electro or The Vulture or Loki or Hydra bearing down on you, you can’t fix your binder or keel over in pain – if he twists wrong, loses his breath, falls down, they’re seizing that opportunity and taking his life. Stark wouldn’t take that risk… but Stark is pragmatic – he knows that getting hurt and that feeling dysphoric would both be a disadvantage to Peter. So here’s my proposal: Stark invents a whole fucking brand of sports-safe wear for transmen to solve the issue. Incredible nanotech that disguises breast tissue as pecs without risk of injury or strain. That binder in Peter’s suit isn’t your run of the mill binder, it’s a brand new, top of the range, Stark binder that’s waterproof, bulletproof, perfectly safe to wear for longer periods of time and during exercise. Tony Stark becomes known in LGBT+ circles for his miraculous binders, and the media interviews him, a shitty interviewer who presses the “What inspired you?” question, dying to get him to out one of the team, but Tony won’t, and he just says “I wanted to make sure that everyone can become the hero that they were meant to be.” and it leads to even more successful trans heroes.
