Hormones, Breasts And Penis Size

Hey there ox.

Recently I've been having issues about breasts.

I have had Gender issues for about 2 years now, but ended up with the conclusion of thinking 'Its a gender... no point getting down about it'

Until the past few months, it's got to be pretty bad now, I would consider myself as Androgyne.

I've always fancied a female body, but at other times a male body.

The conclusion I came up with, is breasts.

I've had a thought which I've not changed about the genitals, which is;

The genitals you're born with work, keep it, don't get something that don't work.

I don't know the most reason stages in genital swaps, but I know it was/is true that you cannot get a fully functional genital organs. So, a MTF ending up giving birth, and have working ovaries with eggs and periods.

So I decided to actually keep my genitals, as I would like to be a dad later on in my life when being stable enough to do so.

What I decided that I would be perfectly happy with, is breasts.

I have been letting females go on Webcam, not for pervert reasons. They have breasts of course, and I feel like they should be on me instead.

It gets me down an awful lot.

I am 15, coming to 16, I'm going to wait atleast another 2 years or so before I actually get them, to make sure it is what I feel I should need.

The question I'm actually wanting to know the answer to.

As what I found out with female hormones, they develop breasts, but they also shrink the penis size, due to lack of testosterone. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I would like to know, if I started hormones later on in the future, how I'd be able to keep my penis size without it shrinking at all?

Thank you.

I don't think there is a way to take estrogen and grow breasts without shrinking your penis. Also, after enough time, you'll become sterile from taking the hormones (I think about 3 months). It is possible that you just get implants... but I think you'll still need a little more skin in that area for implants to really work..

Well -we are not physicians nor are we therapists. What you ask for is an opinion which we can give, most of us basing on what we hear or what has happened to us.

You really need to talk with a gender dysphoria trained therapist before you do ANYTHING.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not get on illegal hormones - they are dangerous if unsupervised! You can have serious cardio-vascular damage, and you can destroy your liver.

That said - what you want? You want to be a virile male with breasts. OKAY - using hormones to grow breasts will have good and bad effects. I am MTF in transition - 4 1/2 months, so I speak from that experience. Taking enough hormones for breast development, essentiall chemically castrates you. The effects are pretty much permanent after awhile. That route also give you natural breast tissue, but it may not be what you are looking for, usually a cup size smaller than your genetic mother or female relatives. Many transpeople are okay with that - many want breast augmentation by surgery. And please understand you must be recommended by a therapist for HRT. Breast augmentation is usually simplier to obtain.

So do you simply have surgical breast augmentation? Perhaps - if you can get it. But understand these are not natural breasts. You will keep your verility though.

There is also an illegal breast-pumping technique - where nontrained people will give you commercial grade silicone injections - THESE ARE DEADLY, and they tend to migrate all over your body, sometimes straight to hour heart's blood supply. DEADLY remember

So what can be done? Well - wear breast prothesis - enhansers - silicone inserts.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your replies.

Yes, I would get referred for HRT if I were to do so.

Thing is with breasts, the only real way to get natural breasts is HRT right?

I want natural breasts, and its tricky..

I don't fancy the idea of breasts which dont feel natural.

It's a trade off. HRT is the only way to grow breasts naturally. The down side is, your genitals will atrophy, you will become sterile and your sexual libido will drop to very little or nothing. To receive HRT, you must see a gender therapist who, if he determines that you are transsexual, will write a letter of recommendation to a doctor for you to begin HRT. The doctor will probably insist on a full physical first to determine what hormones you can safely take. Taking hormones unsupervised can likely result in thrombosis, liver disease, stroke and heart attack. Are you willing to risk that? I'd think twice about this if I were you.

Dear Jeanie,

You do not have to face this all by yourself! That is what gender therapists are for. It is not your decision to take hormones, it is your doctor's. One step at a time dear, if you want to have a fully functioning penis then you do not want to take hormones! If your penis is just something that you need to change then talk to your doctor!! Breasts... well so many bio-women would like to have larger breasts!!

Take care and be smart about hormones, don't treat HRT as a hobbie!!

LOL

Even though you say nothing artificial or added you may try Breast Forms and walk around with that feeling for awhile..if you like that and you are happy with your genitalia think of implants a size A" would probably do..I've often fantasized about that myself..SHAKE PARTNER!!!

Breasts forms are quite costly... I've been looking.

As I mentioned for hormones (i think)

If I was to take them, I'd not do it on my own. It's not something that I'm going to get tomorrow.

I know about the affects, and I'm not willing to risk it.

I just asked a general question, to see what would be best at this moment...

Sorry if it never came across that way.

What If I were to do HRT, what about if I then went back onto testosterone after feeling satisfied with the boobs? What would happen there, would the verility come back etc.

Jeanie -

I have the same issue as you about breasts. I want them so badly but don't want HRT because I don't want to lose my male abilities but maybe one day I will change my mind. I would only do it under a doctor's supervision.

Maybe implants are the answer, but that makes it hard when I want to pass as male, like at the gym or swimming pool and such. I might get to the point where it would be worth it to have the implants.

Right now I have breast forms and I love them, I feel great when I wear them. I can get depressed though when I dwell too much on the fact that they aren't real and I want real ones.

I wish I had a good answer.

Some masculine characteristics would come back. You would still be sterile, but you would probably start growing hair again... hairy boobs...

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      You look wonderful!!! A rose among the roses.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.
    • MaeBe
      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
