Wearing a shirt?

[Dana_H]

I don't go topless in public (not on HRT yet). It feels weird, even though I still pass as male. About the only place I can bear to be topless is in the shower or in bed.

No! never i could never! but thats my choice after all 1 year in i hit a B cup and thankfull for now stopped.

My reasoning is simple anything that needs underwear shouldnt be openly exposed in public.

Am the only only one who feels that mtf people shouldn't ever go topless but doesn't care about ftm people (regardless of top surgery)? I'm always uncomfortable when I see shirtless "before" pictures.

Not that I really care if some girl wants to go topless, I guess, especially if it's not in any area I'm in charge of.

I was never really able to walk around with my shirt off other then my house. I have never felt comfortable with my shirt off in the outside world even when I was well toned and in great shape. Felt naked.

No one should have to wear a shirt if they don't want to.  Or pants for that matter.

Well, I guess people would react it if looks strange... Like, I'm not even an a-cup (28/32 (ub/b)). But because they poke out a little and that I have some slightly visible chest bones and ribs, people would probably think it looked a bit weird.
If you're comfortable with people giving you weird looks, assuming it doesn't look completely normal, then I guess it's fine... Though, you should probably start getting used to not being able to go bare chested.

Wut? You have 4" between band size and bust size? Wouldn't that make you a D?

• If you have to ask the question, then the answer is "now" in my opinion.
• If you are taking hormones, then you should get into the habit of thinking like a lady, so clothe yourself, no matter how large you are on top.

OR, if in Oregon, then you can go without a top, at the risk of starting a riot. 

Thanks for all the replies. This turned out to be a very intersting and good topic to start! I liked this answer the best. If you have to ask, then it is time.

And like others have said, me without a shirt never happened. I was always self-conscious of my chest, and tummy,

I could never walk around shirtless. Felt..strange.

Anyway, I'd say 2-3 months.

Aerolas don't usually get significantly bigger till 6 months. So, if you have little fat ( i.e. little breast development), you could stay shirtless for a bit longer.
