This is just too funny not to share... I was having a chat with a female work colleague today about aspects of being trans*. A trainer from the local Gender Center had come in earlier today to do some trans* awareness training and introduced the rest of the staff to some new concepts and ideas, dos and don'ts, etc. I had been checking in with my colleague as to whether she found the session useful and the discussion kind of broadened to aspects of my transition. I didn't mind, I knew she was genuinely interested and I have a lot of respect for her.
I was telling her how I had originally planned to go full-time in June but then decided to go much earlier - one of a number of reasons was that it was getting harder to conceal my breasts. She looked at my chest surprised and asked
"are they real??". I laughed and said yes, that this was 9 months worth of HRT and, aside from a little bit of padding in the bra, they were me. Now I don't consider myself that large (AU18B/US42C) but she seemed astounded. Then, "how did you keep
those puppies hidden??"
I told her about loose shirts, etc, etc. She was curious about whether they would keep growing, I said it was all a bit of a lottery but that I was hoping for a C cup, she laughed and made some comment like "just be grateful for what you've got, you cow". We both laughed.
It was a good chat.
