As a trans* person I find it creepy because it always brings up images of horribly invasive or co-dependent relationships. (Some of this is due to the fact that most trans* headcanons I've encountered seem to really heavily play up the 'trans* people are tortured souls who need help and protection and binders while weeping softly in their rooms because no one understands' angle.)

Like, binders are generally something you buy for yourself. Like underwear, or a packer, or whatever other private items you might be wearing. They have to fit right, and a lot of people with boobs can't actually wear them because their breasts are too large, or sensitive, or not the right shape for it. Binder buying is like the 'one finger, two finger, three finger, cock' of trans* fic.

Yeah, I would not have been comfortable picking up a binder for my ex fiance, who at the time we were together was pre-op trans. I'm not sure there were the sort of binders available then that there are now (if there were, we didn't know about them). I'd have paid for it, since my ex couldn't work, but I would have felt massively, as you say, invasive about just picking it up as a surprise.
