I've also heard once you go on T, they start sagging...and that it makes them easier to bind.

Not sagging as such. It depends on the size. T and binding both break down the breast tissue, making the breasts... emptier somehow. It's hard to describe, but definitely makes them easier to bind

a few things-

"decent bras" (western bras, worn constantly as is the custom) DO NOT stop tits from getting saggy in any way, and in fact encourage sagging AND BREAST CANCER by preventing the breast tissue from supporting itself naturally while upsetting the natural movement of fluids as it shapes and compresses the breast.

Where do you get this info from?

I have owned only one 'real bra' (underwire and cups) and I wore it maybe 5 times.

Other then that I used to wear sports, or training bras, now I just bind

If someone told me my boobs would get saggy I would probably tell them something along the lines of..

"oh good, I love dem saggy boobehs" or "I don't give a ->-bleeped-<-" or "I don't care if they turn purple, I dont want them anyway, they are a temporary disgusting body deformation that I plan to have removed soon"

Breast cancer rate is highest in countries where the custom is to wear a bra most or all of the time. I keep seeing this pattern.

Here's some relevant studies

But the NY times says I'm wrong

However I really don't want to take any chances when I'm already at high risk for most types of cancer if family history is any judge. If the SOBs come off no more worries though.

So? Seeing they are going to go the way of my "gentleman's vegetables", who cares!

If you're high risk for breast cancer and you actually have the "cancer gene" then you should be able to have a mastectomy especially for that purpose. I don't really know how the US works, but I'm assuming that this way you could get it on insurance?
Just a thought

Post op it won't matter...if someone says that to me, I simply say that I don't ahve such things, and besides...it really doesn't matter post op. They take everything out. If we cared about stuff that shouldnt be there in teh first place...well...yeah...*facepalm*

Well, I would like that, but then husband issues come in. He wants me to replace with implants because he loves titties, and that would probably give me crippling depression. So we're currently arguing about that.
