Susan's Place Transgender Resources

So, I have a really well...to put it bluntly, LARGE chest. It makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to, as much as I hate the word, "pass". I've tried binding, I've tried sports bras, baggy shirts, etc., I've tried everything. I feel pretty hopeless at this point. I mean, I was at a church picnic today with my family, and some people a couple years younger, a group of them, were pointing at me, and loudly saying, "Is that a dude or a chick??", and then "OHDUDE IT'S A GIRL" and laughing at me. I felt like a freak, and I really wish I had something better to handle my chest with. any suggestions? :C

Burento I'm no expert here since I have the opposite problem. But you are going to need a well constructed and well fitted binder that is designed for large chests.

Here's a link to a couple of good threads on Susan's discussing the same subject:

Oh! Thank you so much! I'll check those out.

I would say save for surgery ASAP, work two jobs if you have too. It makes life hard in the short term, but be strong and your dreams will come true.
