With HRT will I look like I have gynecomastia. Or will I look like I have normal female breasts. Will I look like a guy overweight with man boobs.

I'm in my mid 40's so ymmv your miles may vary everyone is different.

I'm just wondering how others have found things.

Also. I understand the other plumbing will shrink and probably stop working but do I get anything back in return for it's loss. Feeling in the breasts, nipple for pleasure.

I wear breast forms and wonder if I will be able to still wear them while the breasts are growing, or will the pressure and the sensitive nipples make it hurt.

Everybody is different. I have to say that I'm happy with what I've gotten so far. They don't look like moobs. As far as forms, I don't use any. On some days just getting a hug is bad enough (OUCH!) that I wouldn't even want to think about forms.

I love my breasts forms as the size makes me feel normal when I go out socializing or shopping etc.

I guess I might just have to figure our something else to avoid pain yet still look the same in the meantime.

That has me wondering about yet another set of questions.

Is it painful shaving the hair on the sensitive growing breasts and how long until the hair on the chest and stomach change into fine feminine hair?

I am 41 now and have been on hrt for 3 years now. Before I ever started hrt, I had read over and over how if you were past your twentys that you could count on not seeing much of any breast growth from hrt. Well very surprisingly this was not so for me as I am now almost spilling out of a 40 C bra. As far as how sensitive the breats will get. Well when they grow they can and will be sore. This is not a constant pain but more when they go through growth sperts. Also mine (breasts) have became way more sexualy sensitive then I ever thought possible. Many MTF will notice some size loss and funtion. I do belive alot of the funtion loss has to do with having a way less active libido and non exceptence on the thing between there legs. Myself while I have all but lost any and all spontanius and morining erections can still funtion down there if needed. As far as hair on your cheast well personaly never had more then a couple stray hairs there so can not say. The hair on my legs pertty much stopped growing all together(except for a couple stray hairs on knees). But as many here say your milage may vary...

Well, I'll be 2 years on HRT in about 3 weeks.

My body type is naturally slender and lean, and I did not expect much breast growth, especially since I started HRT at age 54 and just recently turned 56. My cup size is now a B+ (measured just last week at Victoria's Secret by three different people there (one measured me as a 38-C; however, I was skeptical about that)). They DO look like actual breasts; however, remember, they go through five stages of development. Google "Tanner Development for Females" and check out Tanner I-V breast and pubic development measurements that doctors use. Unless you're significantly overweight, they will not likely look lik moobs.

Plumbing? Everything works fine; however, I do have issues. The verdict is still out on these. However, HRT may or may not be the culprit with these. YMMV.

Breast forms. Apologies to our fine sponsor; however, I never use them and never will. Padded bras? Nope. Tucking and/or gaffs? Never in a million years. That's just me. Do what works for you!

Finally, B+ is as far as breast size may ever be for me. It IS unusual for older T-gals to have significant development unless they're markedly overweight to begin with. Those who start HRT in their teens and twenties can have breaktaking results! I could post a link here to prove this to you; however, the mods would bum out. Bikinis ... teddies ... au naturel ... you get the idea. However, these T-grils (teens and twenties) are, like, AMAZING! About half have had breast augmentation surgery (implants). The half who did not still look wonderful! Frankly, the ones who get implants tend to go way overboard and end up looking out of proportion and nonaesthetically-pleasing, IMHO.

Go for the gusto, babes, and not to worry!

I have had my breast forms for a number of years, so the size has always made me comfortable when I have stepped out the door.

As far as the breast growth stages tanner stage 1 - stage 5. I got the impression that transgender women got to about tanner stage 3. Or maybe that was just older women over 4o for example.

Doing a google search for tanner stages mtf is a good place to look for info.

Not sure about full time but I could certainly be androgenous until I make up my mind or the breasts are too big. I can go easily as it is blending in. My voice and proportions are okay as it is. Full time would mean wearing a wig, but I've mentioned that many times already.

The one thing constant, dysphoria coming and going. My mood or feeling more depressed lately about being all male when I don't want to be for the rest of my life is depressing. I think if I am in the same spot as I am now in 5 years I don't want to be around.

I'm going to talk to my GT about the referral letter for HRT to see a endocrinologist. I have to move forward. I can't stand still anymore. It is better to move forward than stagnate in doubt and worry. Tired of fighting it.

Peace & Joy :friends: Lacey Lynne :friends: Happy Thanksgiving :friends:

Welcome to the tractor beam hmmm.

Well I am running out of ideas of how to feel better. I will probably start going on about this other subject once on I get on hrt but I know without hrt hair grows quicker than on hrt, like on the face. That means instead of one days growth for electrolysis it will be say 4 days of growth? Which means less time to be able to go out I am guessing in girl mode, yuk. I'm guessing that is what happens. Plus I read somewhere there is swelling and to have an ice pack after treatment on the upper lip area. I HATE the idea of the pain of electrolysis in the lip area. Laser has been cool, in a non cold way ;)

Do not discount breast forms and your development.....

I've been about 3 years HRT and I'm a small "B"

But while having growth spurts and growing pains, breast forms make a wonderful cushion for the girls and protect and cradle the growing boobies...

Try it....

I love 'em!

Breast forms, are you talking about the same thing as I use. I use masectomy type breast forms from the Breastform Store along with a masectomy bra.

I'm talking about the gel type....I bought mine from Joann Fabrics for about $15 and just slip then into a regular bra one size bigger than me....

Works perfectly!

      I'm new here and I just wanted to introduce myself! I'm Ali, I'm 17 and I am genderfluid. My pronouns at the time of writing this are He/they but mainly pronouns I use are She/ he/ they/ it. Its a pleasure to meet you all!   Thank you for reading! Ali ❤️

      There's many words to describe the same idea -- excellent, good, amazing, incredible, great, and other synonyms, for example. It's a shame that some people can't realize that the reason that so many words exist is that it's the human experience; There's a million ways to feel the same exact thing, or to express it. That includes gender. Not everyone wants to express their gender the same way, trans or no. If we try to say in order to be trans, you have to do a, b, and c, you deny all those "flavors" and "hues" that make up the human experience.   That's just my five cents, though

      I also play guitar, not very well though and dabble in writing poems and songs. It is a very peaceful way to relax.        💗 Cynthia

      I think the first thing may be to realize we have shared interests and shared opposition.  I read an article not long ago by someone who decided to non-op and non-hrt and her transgender friends basically decided she was a traitor and not really trans and had no right to speak on trans issues.  She said many trans people say you aren't really trans unless you do the whole surgical route and legal, etc.  Some insist on the gender binary, others insist on a spectrum.  There must be an agreement to disagree.  Not all of us here have the same viewpoint or the same experience or the same condition.  But we can identify common interests, like walking into a public restroom without fear of arrest, or the right to medical care.    The divisions are severe, heart-felt, and real, but from a practical point of view we need to lay some of those aside when we can for the common interest.  Some of those we cannot lay aside because of personal integrity, but we can work across the aisle, so to speak, something sadly lacking in the public arena today.

      Thanks Vicky!  I made a mistake with my topic heading, I consider myself as a Lady but I know that not everyone here thinks that way so I apologize for that.   I should say Hi everyone!! 💗 Cynthia

      Welcome to the Forums Cynthia.   We do have gentlemen here as well who are some of the nicest guys you can get to know.
    • VickySGV
      @Mirrabooka@Abigail Genevieve Let's not neglect the severe divisions within the Trans and NB sector as well along those lines.  Where we have Non Op & Non HRT and Cross Dressers, Gender Benders, Gender Fluid, Agender et al VS. the full surgical route takers with GCS, FFS, BA and vocal surgery,   Which of those segments gets to speak for the others?  How do we turn them into a cohesive force for good just among those nominally under the Trans shade tree??

      Hi, I am Cynthia, 62 year old lifelong crossdresser.  I have been dressing off and on for as long as I can remember. In the last ten years or so I have noticed that my dressing has become a major part of my life, I went through all of the purging and confusion and I came out feeling more like a woman every day.  Self acceptance is very powerful if you truly accept who you are.    Over the last few years I have built a nice wardrobe and now spend about 80% of the time as my true self. I only wear male clothing when visiting with family and running errands. I don’t know if I am trans or not, all I know is that I absolutely love myself as a woman and that’s how I feel about myself, that I am Cynthia.   I love wearing makeup, dresses and jewelry, it feels so good and natural to me.     I am thankful to have found this special place and look forward to being a part of this beautiful community!!  I hope to learn about myself and also to participate and interact daily and to help others in their journey as well.    If I could I would absolutely live full time as a woman and hopefully with help and encourage I will one day fulfill this dream. I love being a woman and thinking of myself this way. I’ve never thought much about my pronouns but I definitely like she/her for myself!!   Thanks for reading and I look forward to being here and sharing with you all!!     💗 Cynthia

      Good morning Felix,   I don't know how aware you are of the motives behind Military Boot Camp, but the most important thing it's designed to do is break you down, physically and mentally, weeding out those who can't make it. If you really want to be a Marine after you graduate high school? Stop believing you do things better when you're high. Clean your lungs by filling them with the fresh air of cross country running. Start small, run around the block, then around the track, then from your house to the track. Run everywhere! Run, run, run, and then when you can't go any further. Run some more. Do this feeling like you're going into Boot Camp in top physical condition, and your training will still break you down. That's what it's designed to do, and you'll earn the right to be called a Marine. The best thing about your wishes to become a Marine, is that it's something you can surely do with a proper mindset. Yes, it's very physical, but most of all it's mental. My brother-in-law is a retired Marine, and I love his stories ranging from his time in boot camp, to his time as a drill instructor. These conversations are not started by him. They're usually started by my nephew who is also a Marine. I can't say enough how proud I am of my family and friends who have or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. I will be equity proud of you too.   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was always playing the boy in house, and I HATED wearing dresses. I used to dress up super masc and go out to dinner to just make sure I could still pass as a boy. I thought of it as a game but.. uh.. nope.

      I took Maybelline's quiz https://www.maybelline.com/babelline-makeup-personality-quiz and I'm "Perfectly Practical" when it comes to makeup.    I carry three things in my makeup bag in my purse that I use any or all depending on my mood.    1) Maybelline magic eraser/concealer. Pretty much a liquid foundation/concealer in lipstick-sized package with built-in sponge applicator. It rules.    2) Maybelline mascara primer. It's the subtlest of enhancements, yet makes me feel confident in my eye communication.    3) Subtle lipstick in a natural/nude shade. Very slight enhancement that again, is mostly for how I feel.    -Timi
