You didn't offend me. After all I call myself a marsh monster and sometimes big head horsey-face. But mature?   nah...

Hips are completely a thing for some of us in HRT I have 39.5 inch diameter hips okay sure like 50 for shoulders i bet (Total guess work I doubt 50 but they are quite broad) and yea I was happy until all my fat went to my but ohhhh the stretch marks 

Viva to developing hips! AntiViva to mens pants and the lack of stretching!

Note: girls stop fighting also to give perspective i am 5'6 ft

I agree never be mature unless you need to.

I don't know what my hop diameter is but was over ecstatic when I found out my natural chest was a mid sized A. Shoulders are a bit wide too. I really hope my hips only grow on the left a bit more. My right side can hold a 6 year old just fine for a half hour. Then my legs get tired but I'm proud of that.

The biggest burden I've seen for any woman is fat distribution. It goes on your chest and hips then grows around from there. Still not sure how my cousin keeps it off after 4 kids.

I didn't notice my hips growing (and I figure they wouldn't this early in), but just this morning I noticed the side of my legs have STRETCH MARKS. I triple measured just to be sure and they grew a whole inch in the past 2 months! Hopefully they keep up for a year, then I'll have nice 40 inch hips. 


On that note, Aloe is your best friend for stretch marks! I'm youngish so hopefully they go away.

Mature?  I am at that point in life where I have to admit to being OLD.  It is far better to admit to a "senior moment" than some of the other ways silly things I do get taken.

Some of us would love to look as good as your avatar.

Hips?  I need to get rid of so much blubber that it will be a long time before I try any dedicated body sculpting.

Johnson's baby lotion has become my favorite moisturizer. Give it a try.

All the advice .

I am totally an immature woman. :p

I love my hips- its early days but I suspect I am headed for pear shaped... My hips where wide for a guy... Possibly from D.E.S exposure?  I am loving the bum a bit more day by day but my ability to lose weight definitely slowed.  I am having a hard time dropping below size 18.

Gosh these changes are so soothing.  Anyone else feel a calming effect from focusing on changes?

I've actually done that myself. Either that or thinking of myself in full fem mode. Not drag but female. It always brings me comfort when I'm really stressed.

Yikes - I've been swallowing oestrogen tablets every day for 7 months and my figure remains resolutely as it was before I started this journey - 40" chest, 37" waist and 37" hips...and I'm just under 6' and 12 stone (and 71).  However measurement across my nipples is now 43" from 42"...does this mean growth?  (Waist measurement will probably not decrease as I had an umbilical hernia op a couple of years ago and the body has produced a layer of fat to protect the mesh the surgeon kindly inserted inside me!)

Full/flared skirts seem to help with 'padding out'!

Oh well, life goes on apace.

I was 39.5" before I started dieting, but now I am 37" I've gained a waist but lost the hips.

[Tessa James]

Ha, at my age (45) I don't know whether hips will ever come, or whether I should just be grateful that my straight-up-and-down virtually curveless body allows me to fit into almost any dress without problems.

Has anyone near my age got experience and comment about this?  I'm naturally slim, so I don't tend to add weight easily.

Oh yes, my ciswomen friends would ruefully note how easy it was for me to get into those tight jeans, capris and dresses.  Seems the women's fashion industry loves a boy booty while the MTV/pop culture is looking for bubbles?  Now, further along I don't measure but can feel that ass of mine getting tighter and tighter in that same pair of jeans.  Maybe I should stop washing them?

[Emmaline]

The female clothing industry.  Such fail.  Much dissapoint.  So stupid.


I am 38, so was amazed I had any changes.  Genetics, intersexual development... Who knows?  I am glad to be alive... Hips area big fat bonus prize.

You're almost the same as me except that I'm pre HRT.

[Tessa James]

it's come to the point where I can't squeeze my butt into jeans and capris although the waist still fit.

It that a cautionary tale about getting what we wish for or a claim to booty fame???
