Who are cops to medically judge which tits are which?

Especially since there's no difference between male & female breast tissue.

Who are the cops to be telling me that I can't walk around without a shirt if I'm female, period?  Not that I'm eager to do that, but the taboo is just so stupid.  Thank you, Puritans, for your life-denying medieval attitude.

It's not the breasts, it's the nipples.  Walking around shirtless with bandaids on your nipples is legal.  Take them off and it is not.  LAME

And FWIW- when I had breasts, I wanted to be able to take my shirt off in public.  When I had them removed, I paused when actually doing it.  Took a while to break the habit.

Yep, I've changed shirts in public. In fact in the middle of the State University Campus at 12:00 when hundreds of people were around. But, as a matter of fact I voted "no." I didn't think that removing my big shirt for my tank top only would actually be a truthful dodge around the question.

I have taken off my bra in my car on an interstate while driving. That's actually fairly easy and fairly private as well.

Before I transitioned I never felt comfortable shirtless. Cause it just never felt right to be without a shirt. Nor would I do so in public these days either, Not with one shirt over another or for any other reason. God made bathroom stalls for that sort of thing.  :)

Pretty much a ditto for me. Especially pre-transition, which, thankfully, makes sense now but was one of those SO confusing things growing up with. Heh.

Its funny how a thread decays from taking your shirt off to milk... You'd think the title of this thread would be, "So you have utters... Why taking your shirt off is embarrassing."

Though I don't like to show off my moobs I've changed my shirt often in public. I'd probably be finding opportunities to change my shirt once I get top surgery. :P

It always made me feel weird and "exposed" to take off my shirt, including as a young child. Gym class was a nightmare, especially when it was "skins and shirts" games.

And don't get me started about the horror of changing in a boy's locker room. Shudder. I NEVER showered after gym in High School. Yea, ick I know, but... run naked through a shower where all the boys would see me naked? NOT happening.

And when getting out of a pool, I'd always drape a towel around me ASAP to feel more comfortable.

And yet, of all the absurdities, I DIDN'T realize at the time it was the GID making me feel that way. Weird, huh? Oh for sure my GID was as clear and obvious from birth through adulthood, but for some reason I never realized the connection at the time. I just knew it was "wrong" and "inappropriate" for them to see me. I just figured I was shy and a prude, lol.

In public, it's not legal for me to take off my shirt in most situations (although I've done it during a pride march when it was ).  At home however, I often go without a shirt, which is about the same as it was before transition.

As a kid I would run around the house without a shirt all time, family wouldn't let me outside like that though.   After puberty I was to embarrassed and shy to expose myself.   Changing in a locker room broake me a bit where I can do it, but I usually do it real quick and try to pretend no one else there.  Lately did change in front of friends.  But their reall good friends, like family and they know about the transgender part.  Still was uncomfortable, but saved time waiting for the restroom at least LOL.

I hated gym and did the same thing. No thanks, I would rather stink than shower with the guys.

I would not do that.

I don't even change my shirt with ANYBODY watching me.. I always shut and lock my door. I'm not even transitioning yet.
