Title: A couple of questions...
Post by: Terra on September 08, 2005, 10:21:06 PM
Hey all, I started to look but never found answers to these questions...

1. Will I be allowed to adopt?

2. If they don't grow enough, are their alternitives to brest implants?

3. Will my male voice be affected by lessons? I mean will I be able to have two voices?

4. How obvious, if I bind them, would I be if I started hormones?


Just some thoughts, nothing really thought out yet.

No.1 I don't know for sure. sorry
No.2 Yes they do have shots that you can take to make your breast grow.  That is the only alternative to implants that I know of.  My cousin Tammy had them done and hers look great.
No. 3 No. You can train you voice to be higher pitched and sexier and still keep your manly voice.  You just learn how to talk a different way.
No. 4 Again I don't know for sure. sorry
I hope that helps you out atleast a little. 8)

Hello Luana.

Q 2 - Non-surgical options would be padded bra's, or inserts called body wonders - lots of women do wear them.

Unfortunately I have no experience with your othe questions.  But I'm sure there are others here who have.

Chat later

Steph.

1. Adoption would depend on the laws whereever you are.

4. You could probably bind, but some FtM's report breakdown of breast tissue from long term binding, so you might not want to. Otherwise, if FtM's can hide 'em by binding, no reason you couldn't. It's bloody uncomfortable too though.

Early stages of development could probably be hidden fairly easily with a tight undershirt and loose shirt over top.
