Not sure how to phrase this concept or if the title covers it well, but with girls it seems chests have to be hidden. Personally, I find the idea that the female chest as inherently sexual and must be censored lest guys get aroused is silly, as if women couldnt get aroused by the male chest as well? Or is it yet another example of the male is stronger and therefore more able to rape? Well regardless...I wish there would deviate away from the standard that breasts must be hidden, but sadly society's culture wont do that anytime soon.
So that said, as mtf or ftm I wanted to know how it must feel gravitating to a new role in whats considered nudity. My hypothesis is a lot of you gals probaly had dysphoria to begin with when you knew you were trans so you probably didnt show your male chest anyways. Though, I imagine some of you were used to going swimming and the like shirtless, must be a different experience having your chest become a nude area when your breasts come in or you acquire them.
With guys, I imagine your chests are always covered, but in that case its dysphoria keeping it covered for own sake and not necessarily because they feel the social need to as a woman (plot twist: cuz theyre not). Still...even after surgeries did you ever find it an odd experience to be able to go shirtless in public after living so long needing to be covered?
Regardless of the matter that dysphoria played in covering things up, or not, Im sure what we did mightve been affected by our social role we were used to living at the time. I know with me I uncomfortably live by the jurisdiction that I have to have a shirt on, which in itself is dysphoric because I know as a male I should be able to publically be shirtless, but cannot. If I ever got flat chested enough to go out shirtless itd be a relief, although at the same time might be very strange at first to get used to.
...Im really hoping my wordings arent coming off weird its late and I had a last minute question before I forget
