The moment where you cant go topless anymore

[Eva Marie]

I've never felt comfortable being topless. Ever.

Boobs are sneaky - you think you don't have any and then you find that someone is staring at your chest. This started happening to me more and more before I presented as female when I would go out braless in a guy t-shirt - I'd get the creepy stares.

Then the braless thing started causing male fails, and shortly after that I went full time

I was always anxious in school PE and waited to be assigned to "skins" or "shirts"... I always hoped to be on the "shirts" team.

As an adult male, I had no problem going shirtless...but about a month after getting on HRT I suddenly started feeling very self-conscious of my newly budding breasts...

I am a lady outdoors, but as soon as I get home (only me and wife reside there) my clothes (yes, all but undies) come off.

Never liked being topless since puberty ( had some gyno) but certainly as Hrt started it was inappropriate as they started developing fast .

I wonder how many trans women were uncomfortable going shirtless as children. I know I was. I always had prominent nipples and would get weird stares at times even before I was ready to admit to myself that I was trans. I even remember a conversation in school where I was talking to my (older) professor and he was talking to my chest.

The only time that I would take my shirt off growing up was if I was doing something involving water, swimming for example. I did feel pretty uncomfortable doing so, idk maybe even felt kinda wrong doing it, so right after I was done and usually somewhat dry at least, I would put it back on.

I had mostly guy friends growing up and I know that they would do it if they were playing sports or just hot even. Always seemed weird to me.

I stopped doing it totally when I first decided to start trying hrt (herbals, before I had ANY trans knowledge at all..). I was totally skinny and totally flat, hardly any muscle there even, but to me, it was like, I started on this journey and instantly my mindset changed to its now inappropriate for me to go topless.

For real, I know this topic is about not going topless, but how about the point you can't go braless anymore! It totally does sneak up on you, and you're like "but there's nothing there" but people look at your chest before looking at your eyes.

I never felt comfy topless either. I got used to it for swimming till 5-10 years ago. Then I discovered rash guards. So much more comfortable. I am still presenting male so, they are a life saver.

Couldn't do it any more right after the implant surgery. Mind you, I have become a lot more daring. I was on a cruise this winter and came out on my balcony to hang my swim suit on a chair to dry, I was wearing a robe and another ship was moored the other side of the pier.

A fellow was on his balcony with a camera and waved at me so I waved back. He held the camera up and indicated he wanted to take my picture. I pointed to me and he nodded. I made a point of pulling my robe tight around me and he shook his head no and I made out like I was going to open it and he smiled and nodded. So what the hell, not like I'm going to see him again, so I opened it and dropped the robe posed and gave him a show from the waist up because of the metal side. He took the picture, looked at his camera and nodded, blew me a kiss and gave me a thumbs up. I put my robe back on, waved and blew him a kiss and went back inside. Somewhere, someone is showing that picture around but if he only knew I wasn't cis-gender! 

At least I made his day! (lol)

Love,
Clare

Once I went full time I didn't, but agree once we start to develop that is truly the point of no return. Hugs
