I was a bit shocked from a comment from two of my coworkers!

Today I received a few surprising comments from a couple of my coworkers. Let me explain, so I've been on intramuscular estrogen injections since mid March, So I have some nipple and Ariola development however not a lot of actual breast tissue development. Actually I may have more breast tissue development than I believe considering I started with very well developed pecs, Not extremely muscular just very well toned. Perhaps an AA cup perhaps not, but in my mind definitely not much visibly noticeable...or at least in my mind that is what I believed. My nipples feel super sore pretty much all the time now, so yesterday I purchased a few women's tops and a few camisoles that I liked. I have no problem going into the women's section of any store and purchasing women's apparel in full male mode, I just don't really care what people think. Well I decided to wear one of the camisoles under my male clothes to offer some padding between my nipples and my work shirt. Over my work shirt I normally wear a sweater, a hoodie because if it is it at least 60° outside then my ride to work will be chilly. So I go to my locker when I get to work and take off my hoodie, and to my knowledge I am not "showing". so upon leaving the locker room one of my coworker who I am decently friends with stops me and says"Damn bro it looks like you've got titties, you've been doing push-ups over the weekend or something?" I just played it off and replied "a lil lil something" I imagine he thought nothing more of it as he replied "you must be trying to get ready for full on summer show off mode!" And I just replied "yup". Well leaving the locker room on my way to our ready room I was approached by another coworker a female this time and I am not so much as close but we have a decent relationship, she's always asking me for advice in my opinions because she says I always give her nonbiased and blunt truth. Well she stops me and says to me "you look different today, somethings different about you, have you been working out, it looks like you got something different going in this area than usual", gesturing with her hands in my chest area. I replied "just a little bit, been trying to gain a little weight lately that's probably what you might be seeing" She said ok with a peculiar eyebrow raised. Not really sure she suspects me growing boobs, but the eyebrow thing was a bit peculiar. I don't know family what do you all think?

Time to start with two shirts and when you get to needing a bra, get a t-shirt bra that doesn't show.  Sports bras give  uniboob.
Also, just get used to it.  Amazing how when you talk to somebody and their eyes drop to your bosom.  My 36C's are not subtle but with shoulder hunching and still speaking male I am not challenged.   Thus said, between the girls and the lack of facial hair I figure everybody knows but they are being polite.  You are simply in that up front stage where the concept is a bit alien. 
At some point they won't ask anymore and that's when you know they now think that you are changing teams.

Question on that... I'd imagine that binding is bad for breast development.  Do you know if it is?

Your scent might be playing into what people are saying as well.  People will sub consciously pick up on it, and they may start looking for other changes because of it.

At least your coworkers are caring about you, meaning they are good and dependable people. It is far better than apathy. It can be embarrassing to you, but you may need to make coworkers understand and accept your change in the long term. Sometimes, there can be  some misunderstandings, but you need to overcome and settle it. Do not let them alienate you.

Just do it.

I wouldn't be binding developing breasts, you may effect the ultimate outcome. You might want to try a non padded sports bra under a looser shirt if you want to keep them hidden.

As for guys noticing breasts, most hetro men seem to have a built in boobdar, they will always notice them.

Do they suspect you are trans? Probably not, it isn't the first thing most people's minds jump to.

Try loose striped shirts. T-Shirt bras are a good suggestion.

Puberty can be embarrassing for girls. Developing breasts can be embarrassing. It will become second nature

There is one guy at work that talks to my chest and another that does nervous peaking when he talks to me.

     I'm sorta on the fence as far as me caring if someone sees my growing boobs, guess I'm not really big enough to really care...at least right now that'll probably change the more I develope. Right now I don't honestly care, I figure if asked I'd just tell them I've got gynecomastia, it's easily googled and purports as high as 50% of the men in America have it. Not really sure how accurate that is but I know this...There are 26 workers in my yard, 7 are women, 5 of the men are physically fit to the point I'm sure they don't have moobs, but the rest have man boobs, all gynecomastia poster children. So in my mind exactly who are you guys to talk about growing boobs, at least I want mine lol, pardon the expression but they may be running around with tittties they neither like or want lol.

    I definitely don't want to do anything that'll inhibit any growth at all! Don't quite fit into bras yet, but can't wait. I still have defined pecs but with enlarged feminized nipples and it seems as though the E is softening them up or maybe its just me. Like I said I'm not really worried(not now at least) about being noticed. My wife, kids, mom, and my brother knows so that's everyone that's actually important enough in my life that I'd actually care about their opinion anyway. I Guess really I'm just more shocked and giddy that I'm actually and finally growing boobs😊😊😊.  Sorta surreal ya know.

   I know that the baggy shirts, and extra-large hoodie's work very well. A few years ago I used to wear forms like almost every day, large ones too. They made me a 36DD and I was able to keep them concealed rather well as long as I limited my movement as to not give them away by excessive jiggling or a wardrobe malfunction by one them falling out of my bra. As I know the shoulder hunching is very effective as well!
