From reading the Wiki, I see that one of the areas where fat deposits accumulate in a female pattern is the mons veneris. In my case, since starting HRT I have experienced this effect to a high degree. I'm concerned that the extra tissue will show through certain clothes and be mistaken for... something else, thus undoing my passability. Thing is, since GGs have it too one would think it would show through for them and therefore not be an issue for me, but I never noticed if it does for them or not.

So am I worrying over nothing? 

Yea, you are worrying over nothing.  Don't give it a second thought.

What Cindi said, and if you catch anyone looking down there just smile and say... "it's ok, it's just my mons veneris"

Yeah, I noticed that too when I went on HRT.  Like the others already said, don't worry, it's fine.  I've never had a problem, even in a swimsuit.

Thanks everyone! Good to know.

LOL! And since I'd be pronouncing it in classical Latin, they'd probably go "huh?".

Ah, swimsuits - can't wait for the opportunity to get into one but I'm nervous about that too. Although this far along, I probably shouldn't be.

Oh, neither could I.  I just found one that I was able to hide "it" good enough and I use that.

My Mound of Venus, too, has gotten noticeably bigger due to the fat redistribution...

...are 'vedgies' very far off?
