anything as degrading as an FTM required to go bra shopping?

[icontact]

I've only been wearing sports bras for a few years now, and sports bras only at home for about six months now. I'm glad I bought them back when I thought I was an androgyne and still tolerated going in that dept as long as it was a get-in-get-out affair.

Anyways, that really does suck. Try going to a sporting good store for sports bras, so at least the displays are completely toned down, absolutely no lacy bras, all business. No hot model posters either but hey, how much can you ask for?

You think bra shopping is bad?  Wait until you have a beard and you're sitting in a gynecologist's office.

That actually sounds like fun.  But I suppose some do not find horrified and disgusted looks from other patrons amusing.

Fun?  Oh, yes.  totally.  dudes sitting with their very pregnant wives wondering "What the F*** is this MAN doing here?"  Then you get called in and they realize you weren't waiting on your very own pregnant wife or girlfriend headed in for a  PAP.  It's awesome.  Just wait.  you'll want to die on the spot.

That whole scene sounds rather funny to me.  But it might be different in real life, so I'll wait until I am looking manly at the gynecologist's before declaring a definite opinion.  Come to think of it, I would probably be disappointed when they started thinking I was a woman, so I partially recant my earlier statements.

My mom bought me two sports bras for Christmas. Tight ones too and they make the chest area smaller. She knows I want to bind so I guess that's why she bought them. It saved me having to go shopping for them lol. I don't like doing bra shopping either...but I just get in and get out

The gynecologist thing sounds pretty awkward..doesn't sound fun

Well, sure there is. Being required to walk under the massive sign that screams out exactly what is wrong with you [the WOMEN's fitting rooms], and discovering your chest has grown, leaving you that much further from having an average male body than you had previously thought....

I was ready to cry before being all "boys don't cry". Which is so obviously a lie, because all my male friends cried when they saw The Notebook.

Plus my mum was there [haven't come out to her yet] and going on about "why don't you want some thing pretty and lacy and" so the torture was prolonged and intensified yet further... I had been planning to just come out then and there, and thus explain why I don't want "some thing pretty", but I didn't want to make things awkward on my sister, who would have had to deal with any awkwardness even though it was nothing to do with her..... 

Oh well. One day I'll have the money for surgery to fix this unholy mistake, and I'll be laughing like a maniac as I cut up bras and burn the pieces. Perhaps I'll do that outside, though... smoke alarms tend to dob on pyromaniacs 

*faceroll*

That sucks Reno, hope you can fix that mistake soon
