Title: Butt growth
Post by: Jessica on November 17, 2017, 12:41:09 PM
Hi girls 🙋 I'm fairly certain my butt is getting bigger!  I like that!  I have a question that maybe some of you girls can answer.  I've been feeling twitches and such in my butt cheeks for a bit.  Is this my butt adding fat?
Smiles, Jessica 💁

My booty has expanded into neighboring space as well. I think 3 inches although i don't have the data in front of me at the moment. Can we feel things like that happen? I suppose it is possible, but maybe what you are feeling is either your skin accommodating more size? i've never felt it but totally cool anyways.

That's what I think also Robyn.  These body changes we girls are going through are a long time coming for me.  I just got a cute dress 👗 to show it off in 💃

I really do not want to spoil the fun, but fat does not twitch. There is no muscle and very little nerves to cause a twitch.

Any twitching is the muscle under the fat, if it is near by.

Yes there are some unusual sensations when we transition and these new sensations are attributed to changes caused by hormone therapy. Most of us just enjoy the ride caused by the changes in our bodies.

I do think Robyn may have a valid point in that the skin might be accommodating the extra fat.  I'll have to check for stretch marks 🤦‍♀️.  I am enjoying the ride and I'm very comfortable in my body changes.  💁 Jessica
