Why do people want to hide their breasts if they are in transition?

Because they are not ready to take on discrimination.  I myself, am currently looking for work.  Jobs are notoriously difficult to get as presenting LGBT... emphasis on the T.  So securing said job and falling into EEOC protection is critical to my transition. . .  We, over on this side of the pond, do not have universal health care, and so must fund it either out of pocket, or through super expensive health insurance.  My only shot at transitioning the way I want to, is to have a good job with good health coverage.

The only way I'm getting that good job with good health coverage, is to secure employment BEFORE coming out.

How, Why, When, and Where I transition is best left up to me... Not you.  Every other form of medical care is provided on an urgency scale, or through informed consent.  Meaning if your life is in danger, they do whatever it takes to save your life.  If you're life is NOT in danger, they inform you of your options and let you make a decision.  Why must you insist on keeping us in a state of mistrust?  Do you prefer that we not have the choice like every cis-person?

So please for the love of all that is good in this world, let people choose for themselves how they want to live their life.

I understand that.  It's perhaps stated a little strong but I agree.  I also understand not addressing any transition in any way until one has the job.

I hide mine.  I am employed but my employer does not want me to go through the "awkward" phase while working.  So, it's present as male until I leave for FFS.  Then one month after FFS (while still healing), do the SRS and show up about 10-14 weeks after I left as a full and complete woman.

To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

I grew up as a tall skinny male with obvious pokie girl boobs, I quit hiding it when I was in my late teens since it was one of the few things "mother nature" got right about me.

I'm so used to second looks that a really dont even care...let em' look :)

If you always wear a jacket buttoned with a shirt it should look invisible and can even look like muscles.

Generous.  Are you still lactating?

Interesting topic.  I take low dose E for dysphoria, which is controlled with the occasional relapse.  The only other thing I am considering at the moment is an Orchi.  Breast growth I live with, indeed enjoy...but don't flaunt.  Each to their own.

I wear a bullet proof vest so hiding them ain't so bad but I do wear a danskin tank under everything.

Me too, am an A going on to B cup and the vest pretty much hides my boobs(ish), though I do have the problem of sweating under them (quite a lot). Was only concerned about people I dont know staring at me, regualr visitors pretty much ignore you but fortunately new people generally stare at my gun instead of my boobs so kinda is ok.

If that is really you in the picture you`re actually very pretty, hope it works out for you, really do.

QuoteO.K. so I now have a problem that I need some advice about.

There are many of us here who wish we had your "problem"!
I'm a 65 year old male who has been thinking about SRS for many years.  I also was a  full cross dresser for a few years.  I wear a bra, pantyhose and nail polish daily because it just feels right.

QuoteIt is irksome to read some of the responses to this thread which criticize HRT use by those not currently presenting female. The idea that one should only go on HRT if one wishes to adhere to one side of the fence or the other is problematic

Exactly.  Why shouldn't a guy who normally presents as male not have large breasts, if he wants them.  As I've mentioned in other posts, I nicely fill a 38A bra and am very comfortable wearing all day to work, out with friends, etc..  However, that doesn't stop me from wanting more.

This is the one I wear daily:

It's quite comfortable and I love the feeling of my arm brushing up against it.

QuoteActually no, not if one doesn't want to and definitely not to suit the wishes of others! It's called freedom, something we all have here on this side of the pond!

Not if Trump gets his way.

QuoteGot in to see the doctor who had heard the whole thing he said "so you have a tooth abscess here's some antibiotics."

A bit OT, but I recently had a tooth pulled.  The dentist insisted I take antibiotics first, as otherwise the extraction pain would have been too much.  Apparently, the anesthetic they use does not work on infection pain.

The infection is in the jaw as well. If they extract the tooth without getting that under control, they risk spreading the infection.

Jackets like these would hide alot, but as summers coming up, and you're probably wearing T shirts, always wear them black because if you can create more of a silouette, you make your form more 2 dimensional.

Self confidence is the key. I am happy in myself, none dependant on what others think. The body is a beautiful thing, and some breast development enhances that beauty of the body shape. I still present and act as male due to social and work environments. I don't find there is a clash.

Well, summer is here and I love wearing tank tops most of the time and when I'm in town shopping or gawd forbid I go to the auto parts store I always catch men looking at my boobs, sometimes I go braless and they can be a bit perky and pointy and when I wear a bra of course they look more fuller and bigger. Anymore I just really don't care because so far no one has said anything our be weird about.
My spouse on the other hand teases me and sez "are you going out in public like that" when I'm braless....she always means well though 😉

This is the bra I wear. It didn't hide my nipples so I use nipple guards out of sport bra to slide in when I need too! This bra will be good till the twins reach c cups. 2 for 9$ and kinda sexy with lace trim. eBay USA shipped
