breasts---ideas?

[corrine]

Hi I'm a student at University of Oregon in a Cultural History of the Breast class. Our class is missing any information on transgendered people and their breasts! So I have decided to do a presentation on how you all feel about your breasts. If you could please, give me some feedback on your attitudes beliefs or ideas about your breasts I would be so grateful. Thanks

I love my breasts.  Of course they are kind of new and still growing and I have been looking forward to them for a long time.  What kind of data are you trying to find?  I assume the first sentence wasn't quite what you were looking for, but that's what you asked.

Cultural History of the Breast class???  What do they teach in that class?

What does any woman think of her breasts (I am not talking about FtM's here)?   Don't most women like them or maybe think nothing about them other than "they are there" and being a woman means having breasts of all different sizes?

Can you give us a better idea of what you are asking.  And also state what you think of your breasts.

I have pretty medium sized, not-terribly-perky, unextraordinary breasts. I feel pretty nuetral about them. Although when wearing a swimming suit or certain shirts I am thankful they are there...so yes that is how I feel about them. I suppose if I was a mother and I fed children from them I would feel more empowered about them, but for now I'm unimpressed.
   In the Cultural History of the Breast Class...we use breasts as tool for understanding the history of women....our topics run the gamet...from breastfeeding to breast cancer to fashion to visual art to poetry to identity development, et cetera...
Thanks everyone for sharing!

I live in Eugene and I know there are transgendered people there. Why don't you go and asked them. I'm sure they know all the answers to what you want to hear.

Still waiting for mine to grow in, but am glad to have what I have so far.
