Well before I get into it I want to say I am well adjusted and very happy to my transition and I'm sorry I barely post at all here but from lurking around I can see how wonderful you guys are!
I'm going to be very honest because I feel confused. I am having a little dysphoria with my boobs. Sometimes I just wish my chest were flat. I wear sports bras to compress them slightly. I still feel like a woman and enjoy being one finally, I also know bottom surgery is the right thing for me. I feel weird about have a slight dysphoria over my chest. It isn't like I want surgery to get rid of them but I want them small. outside of sex I'm not the biggest fan of them. Is it normal to feel this way? I like having curves, hips, a butt and fair skin, I can't wait for my vagina too! I just feel insecure about my feelings towards my breasts...
Hi Riley,
I am about 17 months on HRT and my breasts are progressing well. I now need to wear a sports bra or I bounce. I am not big but progressing well. I am self conscious except when I am in a safe place. I see some guys looking and I feel strange. I am sure I will get bigger in time and I need to get more self confidence about my body. I just wished I knew what people were thinking.
As with all women, trans and cis, we don't generally get the "ideal" body we believe we should have. Many women with big breasts want them smaller. Many with smaller breasts want bigger ones. Many cis women have dysphoria about their bodies too.
No matter what you get you'll almost still want something more or different. That's just a human thing be you guy or girl.
For my part I want some booty and a trimmer waist. Those are two things that are hard to work towards at the same time.

I can really relate to that. I thought that a C cup would be my goal, but now wouldn't mind if the girls would get bigger. At a small C cup now, but maybe a large C cup or small D cup will do? Or not! They sure are addictive, I will certainly attest to that!! I also would like some hips and smaller waist, also.
I know some who wish they had smaller breasts, some who wished they had bigger breasts, and some who wished they had no breasts.
Almost all of them at one time or another has said they were annoying and had no idea what men saw in them.
Your feeling towards your breasts sounds pretty normal to me :)
I just feel so weird about my breasts lol. I do love my new body anyways!
I'm quite far from a transition but I want to have around C to D sized breasts as I'm a relatively big build and I want them to still look a decent size on me :-*

Ain't that the truth. My wife's best friends daughter had overly sized breasts. She just had reduction surgery and now that she is healed she has told her mom they are too small.
I myself would like anything that would give any kind if cleavage when in a bra. But hidable when needed. That may change as I progress more but for now. Hips and butt and waist are my main concern.
Agree with the posts here
All woman or at least most of them dont like something about their bodies..
I love my D cup breasts.. my dislike... my butt... All the woman in my family have a rounder butt... and i inherited it .. I think thats why I dont wear jeans too much as my round butt is shown.. I can kinda hide it better in a dress. I love wearing dresses... so its cool.
Prior to GCS, my breasts, starting young, only reached an A-cup. Now post-op 5 years I have a pretty B-cup and am happy. Breasts are one of the main outward symbol of femininity! I love my 'girls'
Hi Riley Skye,
in my opinion, there are many things on the female body that one might object to in daily life: breasts getting in the way, hurting our backs, and being painful themselves; the need for increased hygiene brought about by the short urethra, having to religiously wipe after every peeing; the dreaded menstruation; the menopause; etc.
Yet most of us would pay anything in order to get them! But only when we do, can we start "hating" them. There are countless cis woman who do. But in the end... in the very end... it's in fact good to have them.
So I think that you may have approached the border where living as a female is so deeply a matter-of-course to you, that you can start "hating" the elements of it. But I surely would be scared of such a feeling myself, as it would remind me of my doubts from the past ("am I really...?")... and so it might look like an inverted dysphoria to you.
Best Regards,
Apple
I love my boobs, but I could certainly see myself getting frustrated by them, after all they *do* get in the way of lots of things. I don't think there is anything wrong with not being super positive towards them just remember that your body is going to do with those hormones what it wants to!
It's that ideally I wouldn't have boobs lol. They're just there and I prefer having a flat chest. My ideal body is more of an androgynous body band when I lose some weight I'll be very happy
I am overweight, but hoping that if I lose a lot of weight that I won't lose any of the boobs. Bring it on, boobie fairy!!
Tis true. I don't think there are many women that truly love everything about themselves. I want bigger boobs than I have and will have them in about 9 months.
Mine are big enough to get in the way and be annoying. Beyond that, I don't give them much thought as they are just part of my body.
I was pretty excited and happy with my results within the first year :icon_chick: Now after 5 years they are pretty well developed and I am still very happy, but having boobs has become just part of daily life
I love my boobs but wouldn't mind at all if they were just a little bit bigger ;)
The one thing I really like is picking out which cute bra to wear for the day and thanks to my wonderful spouse whose fashion sense is fantastic I have some nice matching bra/panty sets, bralettes, cami's and cute tops.
Anymore it just feels awkward to go braless and when I do she usually says "aren't you going to cover those things up" lol

I love my breasts. I am a B cup and my favorite bras are like double pushup bras. Really enjoy having breasts. And I know they will get bigger, so I have something to look forward to. Problem is, right is a large B cup, and left is a small B cup. But I can live with that.

couldn't be more right!!!
While I love my book size, I would love a little bit more size, my cousin who has a 12DD wants smaller and my best friend who has a 10a wants much bigger.
I love my boobs, i want them to grow bigger but i'm only 10 months on HRT so i still have hope ;)
With right bra they looks fantastic even if they are only A cup :)

I know most here are probably focused on boobs first, because they are badges of femininity, but I at the beginning of my transition focused more on getting a figure in my lower body, and developed a weight loss and exercise routine to accomplish that. Now I have moved onto thinking about boobs more.
I've always focused on achieving an over all feminine shape also, but the breasts are where I've had the most development
Been working more on thinning my waistline lately
I got feminine look on my whole body ( thank you HRT ) but boobs are most noticable ;)
Overall i'm happy so far :)

To answer your question, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be female bodied but not wanting boobs, I'd suggest you join us enbys in the non-binary section. I'm not going to impose a gender on you, but it does sound like your questioning things and gender assumptions and the non binary board is the place to do that.
Sorry ladies, as much as I think I <3 my boobs threads are important, because self love is radical protest in a world that teaches trans women that our bodies are other, y'all kind of derailed the original question.

Lucky girl!! :)
One of mine is a tiny bit smaller, too. I think that there are things that can be done to even them out, but not sure if there are any proven methods. As far as them being in the way, I don't seem to have any problems that way. With small C's, I think that they would have to be bigger for that to happen.
Can I add, as I wrote about it on here a few months ago, boobs past 5pm on a work day, it's my number 1 thing I dislike about being female.
Every other day and second they're great, but at the end of a hard days work (you'll be surprised at how much work a photographer does) you just hate them.
One slightly bigger than the other is very normal, it has to do with your dominant hand and muscles used in your everyday life.
Many many CIS girls have asymmetrical boobs :)
I have seen cis girls with one MUCH smaller than the other, so mine are great compared to that. Actually I wouldn't even complain if they were in the way a lot, as I would be proud if they were. It would be even more feminine, then. The more I feel them, the better. Also the heavier they get, the better, but that is just me.
I saw myself in the elevator mirror the other day and realized it looked like I have cleavage. Which is nice in a way, but I didn't like the image! I never got too fond with women showing off too much cleavage. I don't know why that is. It also got me confused: am I not supposed to like this?
Having boobs is greater than any of my expectation! I had no idea how wonderful these little budlings could feel to the touch (even though they are always sore) but how good they make me feel on the inside.
Amazing what a single change can do to make a girl feel better about her body.

The right bra can do amazing things.. a push bra, with some padding.. can make them look a whole cup size bigger.
I always wondered why they called a wonder bra the wonder bra... i think its because when you take the bra off.. you wonder where they went, lol

LOL! That's hilarious! Love it
Be careful what you ask for. I find that having large boobs is both a blessing and curse I always wanted large boobs now the I am a 36I the need to wear a bra all the time for support. There are times when I just don't feel like wearing one,but that is when people stare at them. As others have said they do get in the way. But having a feminine figure is wonderful don't get me wrong!
I know, i'm wearing bra all the time since i live in full time, sometimes it's just annoyng but to be honest i like it :)
At least we can al agree we love having them ;)
The only thing that I don't like about my boobs and I know that some cis women have the same "problem" is that I don't have any cleavage. I have a gap in the middle. I am afraid that this will not change, but am used to it. Even if I push them together, that gap is still there.

agreed
From my teens I always wanted breasts.. when the girls in my class at school started developing them, i admit i was a little jealous.. funny I first tried on a bra at the age of 19.. when I started cross dressing seriously,,, by that I mean... wearing a full outfit... with makeup, a wig, breast forms and shoes.. even shaving my legs.
at age of 21 I went full time and then started wearing a bra everyday.. you know I still love as much as that night I tried one on, when I was 19.. I love the feeling of straps around my body and the feeling when the cup shapes my breast for that first few minutes.. then you get use it and you don't notice it anymore.
I also love lingerie and wearing sexy lingerie. my breasts let me have so much fun... I love them
I really can't wait to have boobs. I know they can be annoying but it just feels that I should have them...

Perhaps it is because you have a broad chest like me. I had the same lack of cleavage for a long time, my under bust measurement is 39" which is a very wide chest. I eventually got cleavage, I'm not wearing a bra in the avatar photo, just a tank top over a hawaiian style shirt. Don't worry it will come in time, it doesn't happen as fast for some of us as it does for others.
Was on hormones for 7 months. Got 0 growth.

That's not long, I only had road cones after the first seven years, now at 20+ I finally have decent boobs. Then again, other's get adequate breasts rather quickly, some of it is genetics and some just chance and responsive hormone receptors.

It has been around 5 to 6 years since I started to enhance the boobs with herbs and now with BO. Since I still have that gap with no cleavage, could be the broader chest, like you said. Or just genetics. I would be amazed if I ever do develop cleavage later on. There would have to be an awful lot more fat developing in the center area for that to happen.
Some women just don't have cleavage, or invest in a lot of double-sided tape. I have a tiny frame, 30.5 underbust, 34.5 overbust, and I look like a have giant boobs, and they just rest on everything and hurt cause I'm growing again, and now are my prime erogenous zone. My BF can't keeps his hands off them, or me. When we're sleeping he kjust plays with them. The downside of getting so femme, is having to have sex all the time lol JK....i love it.
I just got lucky. I wish I had a bigger butt. Cause my man loves butts. He points them out all the time. We talk about women a lot and basically objectify them. He wants me to have a bigger butt. Of course, if we're going to get married, a need a vag. But his mom will pay for it, if he settles down and wants to do it with me. In fact, she wants him to marry me.
But boobs can get really annoying. My bras are all too tight now. I feel like I'm all boobs. My walk has comepltely changed. I realized I can't go back. Transition is a one way road once you travel so far and achieve so much.
So be careful what you wish for as transition is serious business.
This is about boobs so I couldn't resist, this is cute!

That is cute! Also, it is a rare person that can't have fun with their boobs. No matter what. In the way, out of the way, the marvelous wayward boobs.

Progesterone has given me a very substantial butt but the boobs are taking their sweet time ::)

Indeed :P
Shantel that's just too good ;D I guess I shouldn't be surprised someone took the time to think of that...
Earlier I posted about the ambivalence I feel about the cleavage I saw on myself. But I also realized that my boobs are one of the few things that comfort me on a bad day. Like, a really bad day. I just had to squeeze them to realize I'm doing the right thing. It's funny cause I never had this urge to have them.
