Re: Your relationship with your breasts

and so I kind of make a deal with my body - You comply as much as you reasonably can and I'll take care of you and won't hurt you.

Yeah I used to punch them but this is a good idea.

My to-be-ex-spouse.

I can see why she's going to be your ex spouse. Hon your not the first TS lady that their spouse expressed annoyance over their partners breasts . Seem to be a bit of jealousy there.

 Comfortable with you 'playing woman' in thier eyes, but when you outwoman them somwhere... maybe... i dont know...
After yesterday ive realised how painful breasts can be when slamming into a doorframe at a sprint... >< GUYS think they have it bad? PFT

Hi Rachael Ya they are a mite sensitive huh. Feels funny when you are carrying a box up against them.

Cindy

that was the LEAST of my worries BELIVE ME Cindy... ive gotten used to that feeling, but thier still bangable, or catchable, and that = wont ever go away i seem to be going through a 4th growing phase though at 11 months on hrt... im a healthy b cup, but the tissue underneath seems to be filling out more, less cone, more boob.... i forget what the tanner stages are....

My relationship with my breasts...

In short:  they're..... there.

I'm one of the unlucky ones who have very large breasts (my bra size is 44 F) and I do not want them.  Even before my gender concerns creped in, I never wanted breasts this large.  I had to start wearing bras in 3rd grade, by 7th grade I had a D cup.  When I was 13 years old they were building a Hooters at the mall, I was hanging out waiting for my parents to pick me up when the manager came over and asked if I wanted an application.  (Dad wasn't so pleased with that)  When I told the manager I was 13, his eyes about fell out of his head. 

These days, it's similar to as Nero described.  A love/hate relationship.  They HURT me, bras dig into my shoulders, and leave ridges, my back hurts all the time.  As Rachael explained, when you bump into things it hurts, and depending on how close my period is it can be "oh, OW!" to "OMFG !!!"  And the larger you are naturally the more crap I bump into.  Also painful is rolling over on them in bed, owwwie.  Shirts are hard to fit into, button downs? without two bras?  forget it.   They're very saggy, and I'm only 26 years old.  They don't look cute and feminine to me, they look... gross.  I have started taking to wearing two bras, this doesn't do much for the size, but it helps with the *bouncy*.  I hate the bouncy.

On the other side, they FEEL good.  I love having them played with during sex.  For this reason alone I got my nipples peirced in June, and thus far I love that.  It did make me feel slightly better about their appearance, (as silly as that sounds, a little silver bar making me feel better).   I never had the "don't touch" problems... I want them touched. 

People have asked what my ideal would be.  And really, I don't know.  Definitely smaller, but how small?  Gone entirely?  Still there but significantly smaller?  I'm not sure.  It'd be nice to not NEED a bra, but only wear one if I wanted to.  It'd also be nice not to have to deal with the pain.  (Ironically about the pain, since it's constant, I don't really even notice it until it's gone.  Unless it's really bad.  If I actually lift my breasts up there is this incredible feeling of relief.)

So pretty much.

They're there.  They get in the way.  They're painful, but they also can feel quite nice.  But I don't really want em. =/

All in all: Boobs for sale!

Not likely.  Hers are bigger than mine.

Mine have grown on me.

Still, she may want it clear who wears the breasts in the relationship.

maybe yours are more...pretty. but she's probably most irritated by the fact that you're not a Man anymore. i've been getting that alot from people lately, and they emphasize the word "Man" as though it has suddenly attained some elevated status in society. aw yeah, downgrading one's status to a lower rank than a man, and then not accepting one, on principle, as a genuine female.

Yep. Exactly. I hate them because I'm a man, dammit and its soooo.... unnatural. BUT The whole sex aspect of them is awesome. It just really feels too good to pass up. So - that's why I have the shirt thing. Shirt on = me. Shirt off = some nameless vixen.

That's the point.  It's not "suddenly."  This has been the attitude of our society for hundreds of years.  "Women are incomplete men.  It's normal for women to want to be men.  It's pathological for men to want to be women."

Yep. That's pretty much it. 'Why would any man downgrade himself to become a woman. Because women are clearly the inferior sex.' 
So much of this stuff is so ingrained, cisgenders never notice it.

Yes! And it all starts to come out, and get verbalized, when they are exposed to people in transition (especially when the breasts start). my boss told me the other day, "You have no shame."

Men are scandalized by the fact that you'd go over to the other side. (Gay men seem deeply offended by it, and have disrespected me the worst, of any group) Women (both straight and gay) have been most accepting. i'm starting to love some of the women at my work for their generosity of spirit and kindness -- things i'd never seen in them before.

I love my little 36A's. It took me so long to get them. I love to dress them up in pretty bras and I love to go braless in a tight tank top and get "the look". I love wearing a bikini top to the beach and getting tan lines. I love it when they bounce when I run. I do so enjoy it when my wife pays attention to them when we're intimate.
