Title: does anyone have experience binding while getting HRT?

I've been on estradiol for around a month and it's working fine so far. :D Unfortunately, I still work as a male and won't be able to go full-time for some time - any time from 3 months to a year from now. So far I'm ok wear t-shirts under loose fitting shirts but I'm worried that this maneuver won't be enough in a few months. So I'm wondering will it hurt me if I bind? Really ironic, but that's the way it is. Any advice anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I would strongly recommend you not bind while your breasts are developing since it may effect their final size and shape. Normally I'd suggest wearing loose shirts over a slightly tighter tee but that might not be suitable in your circumstances. Non padded, compression sports bras might be an option.

Really,nobody is going to notice strongly enough to make a scene unless you wear really tight shirts. If you present male, even with things we might make a connection with, they won't connect the dots.

That's right, if anything most people will just presume "man boobs".

You know those sentences with the letters all rearranged, but you read them normally anyway because your brain sees what it expects to see? It works on more than sentences.
