Okay, so I'm feeling a bit dysphoric at the moment. I have decent size boobs, and growing at 6 months (c cups), yet I go on youtube and look at other trans women who have a 6 month video, and they have these perfect round breasts, that I could swear is fully developed. like Mine are sort of rounding out, but like, theirs are almost too perfect. How do they get them so round at 6 months? It kills me a bit inside because I want to know the secret because from my understanding you're not that round at 6 months, and it makes me wonder if my development is going wrong or something.

Probably a bit of selection bias going on there. People with nice boobs are going to be more likely to show them off.  So I wouldn't take what you see as being typical.

Push-up bra, fillets/cutlets, make-up, etc...

Well a lot of videos you see are transwomen showing off their boobs so I guess I would put it past them. I definetly have good develop breast size and shape, but nothing on that level. Theirs looks like tanner 5 breasts that have developed for years which is what gets me, and maybe they do it just for the videos.

I suspect that to be the case, which is a bit annoying because it almost feels dishonest and like its the only way they would get views is if they try to make them look bigger and rounder than they are. We don't all have hollywood boobs, yet, I can scroll through pages of videos of transwomen who supposedly at 6 months have those hollywood breasts, which if they really do, that's great, amazing wonderful, but the majority of them probably don't which means that in all likely-hood,  it kind of just get's some trans womens hopes up and that's not a good idea either. I feel honest is the best route, but to each their own.

There's like so many ways to create cleavage even if you're itty bitty, that you can't trust what you see with clothes on, let alone on a video. Especially since in videos and pictures the right angles/lighting can accentuate certain features.

Anyways if you have c cups, all you need is a pushup bra, grab boob from the outside, push them in and bam instant perfectly rounded out boobs. I do this with my A cups and it makes them look like perfectly rounded out with great cleavage, so you can totally pull it off too.

I don't see how that would get "trans women's hopes up"?

If anyone does their research, they'd understand the limitations of hrt or if you have a good doctor, then they should be able to address such concerns and give realistic expectations. Plus comparing yourself to other trans ladies like that isn't good for one's self esteem.

Yes I really have c cups at 6 months. yes they are still sort of cone shaped but they are rounding slightly. obviously I'm still in early development so I have a lot more developing to do, but I just like, to me, I didn't know push-up bras was a think women did to make them look like they have cleavage or half the other things people listed, so it's kind of a shock to the system for me because it made me wonder, how they were so round at 6 months without some sort of messing around with bras or something. To me it feels like it get's trans womens hopes up, because like if you watch a transition video before transitioning you might think you are getting this perfect breast in 6 months when it's not the case. I'm hoping the progesterone helps a lot with my development and speeds it up a bit, but just idk it just got to me today is all.

It could be that they have implants.

Mine are quite nice, but not so hot that I'd put them on YouTube. Besides, I have too much maturity to do that. Nor would I dwell on what someone else has.

Even the Victoria's Secret models wear push up bras under the swimsuit tops, use cutlets, duct tape, makeup and photoshop.  So why shouldn't you expect girls on Youtube to do the same kind of thing?  And some of them may have already had augmentation surgery.  You aren't supposed to, or you risk ending up with the dreaded "cones over domes" but that does not stop some folks.

Shouldn't you at least wait a year for impants? or at leas tthat was what I've read on the forums, but I would never flaunt my breasts.

This

I've seen videos with cleavage tips and of course the solutions for trans women are the same as for cis.

I adore Princess Joules' utube channel, sure I envy her pretty shape and nice cleavage (it was pretty nice even before her BA). Rather than feeling intimidated, I just love knowing that she can be so pretty and also that she's quite open about her problems - passing as an A+ sexy girl doesn't equate to perfect happiness.

I can pull off decent cleavage on 8 months of HRT - less convincing due to my extensive chest hair. I also knew how to "fake it" best as possible before hrt.

I'm thinking I'm never going to have the feminine looks I'd like and I let that be a primary reason for putting off transition for 15 years. Glad to be better able to let that go.

As a trans Youtuber... where exactly are these perfect boobs you speak of? Most of the trans girls I'm subscribed to on Youtube are anything but stereotypically "perfect" in the boob department.

Where you look on Youtube, and who you're comparing yourself to, matters.

I'm a trans youtuber too. I just typed in 6 month transition update, and like the first page of videos I saw, there were several videos in which people had like a pushup bra on or something and had their boobs hanging out for everyone to see. o.o least it's what my search showed.

Welcome to the world of being female!  Cis-women feel the same way most of the time, too.  In this society, women are constantly bombarded with airbrushed, artificial, or surgically-created images and pressured to measure up to absurd body appearance standards.

Tons of cis-women feel resentful and emotionally beat up about this.  (Just ask 'em!)  It's no surprise that trans-women would.  Even worse for us.  Trans-women have the bad habit of being our own harshest critics.

Lol yes welcome to womanhood. The amount of times I've heard that in the course of 6 months is kind of surprising to me. Cis-women, they have dealt with this for years so it's a normal thing they deal with. It's brand new to me, so I'm probably going to hear welcome to womanhood for months to come lol. I seriously just can't believe how much society expects women to look a certain way, makes me soooo concious of my own body, doubly so because I'm trans....but we all learn to cope right?

Maybe they're just excited or feel they need to prove something or possibly they are advertising

I remember being rather excited when I first began developing, but that wore off after awhile

Sure, I'm very happy and secure with my development and have developed a fairly decent pair of breasts, but I just don't really feel a need to show them off to anyone, I'm not out to prove anything to anyone and I feel sad for anyone who is because I tend to view it as a form of insecurity

If I should find a significant other things could become quite another story but then the
'Show and Tell" will become a rather private matter

Or we are just comfortable with who we are and what we look like. There are some very beautiful clothes that are designed to show off the female form. Having a nice rack and having people admire it is nothing to be ashamed of and I can assure you, I am in no way insecure in my womanhood.
