Does the size of your breast determine how well you feel about yourself

[judithlynn]

All;
One little thing my girl friend Alison taught me when I first transitioned some 25 years ago which I do today is when you are lying in bed at night every day give yourself a breast massage for 5-8 minutes on each breast by cupping your breast in your opposite hand. I quite often wake up during the night with my  opposite hand still under my breast cupped, I just wish it was someone else's hand cupping my breasts!

You could try twice a day... its an old recipe to increase blood flow, it also can set free some hormones... for a better feeling...
and quite a few people say it helps with growth...

Now that I have had BA thought I would chime in again.. not even sure what I said last time I responded on this thread.
For me, I did get the right size for my body type.. I am a 36 to 38 D... they seem huge to me but look natural.
I think I went through some post surgical depression.. not sure why.. I am suddenly feeling complete but its like arriving at a destination and then going.. whats the big deal..
I tend to cope well and forget things from the past that bothered me.. so my GID being gone for so long now and feeling like a regular person, nothing to hide really is strange.. I must go on now.. but now I am a chick.. and the breast do draw attention.. size... being large.. well they just fit me so I suppose my answer is yes, for passing and attention I get I like it ...

I strange thing is I don't really want breasts. Which is odd because I don't feel like a guy. I probably just have a very ->-bleeped-<-ty view on what being a girl is.

That's what you get for being raised male and then identifying with a group of people you know nothing about.

Maybe that's not so strange?  I mean we all have breasts and some are more prominent that others.  Plenty of ciswomen out there who happily sport A cups and/or go with padded bras.  Sometimes our identification with/as women can include stereotypes learned early on.  i always identified with my mom as a kid and now I look a bit like her too.  Breasts are simply not essential for gender identification IMO.
