So-called "classic transsexual breasts"

[xXRebeccaXx]

And does it matter,

Any more than a handful seems to keep most guys happy.

Girls i know this topic was done but i read it and saw you all discussing progesterones  right? well when i start HRT my doctor told me that it is needed at some point because it adds certain tissue which gives breasts their natural none cone shape and some what protective tissue. he says that it should be taken for a while at least just to add the tissue into your breasts which E doesnt give  hope this helps

[Randi]

I was on E and Spiro for a bit longer than a year and have not had progesterone. My breasts are nice and round not at all cone shaped-similar to those in the Venus De Milo pic. I am a 36A cup and want to go to a C cup eventually but a B would also be nice for my frame.

I am not on any meds right now(hopefully that will soon change) and am quite satisfied with what I have-anything else would just be more icing on my cake!!!  As they are now, they are quite noticeable if that is what I want and I am very happy to have them.

Cindi-I thank you again for just being you!

For me the difference between transsexual and transgender really comes down to this.    The transgender person while certainly not ruling out surgeries and feminisation procedures is not as fixated upon the techniques and procedures as the transsexual.    Secondly, in my opinion the transsexual desires to undergo the whole gamut of surgeries and procedures currently available and is keen for yet more surgical procedures to become available.   The transgender person prefers on the whole to pick-and-mix what he/she has done.   This is just my opinion so please feel free to express your own opinion.   


OOps wrong thread, please disregard.

I apologise in advance if this bit of information has been canvassed and promulgated previously;

Just a bit of information you might find interesting regarding progestins and MtF transgender HRT from the Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES) www.gires.org.uk in the UK www.gires.org.uk/assets/Medpro-Assets/Progesterone.pdf

In particular, note mention of the previous study upon which some of the beliefs re progestins have been based.

Cheers, Petra

Thanks that paper is very informative

[justmeinoz]

Very interesting paper. 
It basically confirms what my Endo told me. 
I especially like the bit about eating more pies! Does Cheesecake count I wonder?

There seem to be very strong differences of opinion amongst the trans world about whether progesterone does or does not contribute significantly to breast growth. Some people on Susan's say it has made a difference to their breast growth. I'm just mentioning this because the last time I saw this paper linked to here, it came in for a lot of stick from people who think Dr Curtis has got it wrong. So expect opinions and experiences on both sides!

What are tanner stages? i mean i see what they are but if your breasts dont develop like the tanner stages say they must, then are they deformed? i am confused are tanner stages the average breasts growth stages?

EDIT: sorry fixed the grammar i have one of those mental things where you think faster than a normal person and faster than my body cant react so i skip words ere and there sorry

[justmeinoz]

Kitty, I don't want to sound like a bad tempered school teacher, but could you pleas use a little punctuation. It is sometimes a bit difficult to follow you.
I will understand if you are using a phone to post though. Nasty keyboards.

If you look at a load of breasts you'll see that there's a huge variety of shapes, sizes, profiles. Tanner stages refer to the normal basic stages of breast development in pubescent biological females. It's best to treat it as a rough guide at best. Probably every woman (trans or otherwise) has in their head a picture of the "perfect breast" they'd like to have, and most of them don't get that, and some of those that don't then get outside help approaching that "perfect breast" - it's up to the individual how content they are with what they grow. There are plenty of trans women who develop fine, "normal"-looking breasts. There are plenty of biological women who don't. It's a lottery.

You mean "classic transsexual" as opposed to autogynephilic late transitioners (in my book anybody that transitions after 25 is a late transitioner), those who have lived half a century as men & realise one rainy Wednesday that they are "transsexual" in order to satisfy a sexual fetish?

[Padma]

No, Pia - I don't think anybody but you means that.

That's a rather rude and assumptive generallization     That's like saying young people are rude and stupid and have no freakin' clue about much of anything other than if it was day or night and what the weather was like when they woke up and thought that they had become adults

[Francis Ann Burgett]

How much of our breast development has to do with our genes, our mothers & grand mothers, etc... I wonder?

My mother was well endowed & I hope turn out that way naturally over time.

[Tammy Hope]

I don't care what they are called as long as the Boob Fairy brings some!

THIS

[Padma]

It seems to be a complete lottery, alas. Every story that says "my breasts did this, and I think it's because of that" has a response from someone else saying "my conditions were the same, but it hasn't worked that way for me." We just have to wait and see what we get .

So long as she doesn't just leave them under my pillow .

I give praise to the Boob Fairy!!!
