Use of Breastforms during RLE

Honestly, unless I can have hormones and surgery during RLE, I don't think anyone else should have padded bras, breastforms, heels, make-up, dresses, wigs, any sort of physical object that helps one portray themselves as female during the process. What if someone puts on a wig and then has a suicidal panic attack when they see what the wig looks like, and before they get the chance to take it right back off, (as you can do with hormones!) they stab themselves in the chest and die? You can't be too sure, the 0.0000000000000000001 chance of someone doing that is too dangerous to allow any single Transwoman to wear wigs, dresses, or make-up during RLE, plus, God and My Church doesn't like Transitions, so it's wrong to express womanhood physically, and that Transperson should only transition on the inside, not the out in any sort of way. *Insert more mindless New Age soul-centered psycho-spiritual babble here*

I mean, all that above is what I hear on this forum all the time from those who are against hormones and surgery, it gets silly. I wish RLE would be done away with, because it's simply not a fair process; some Trans can pass perfectly during RLE with just wigs and make-up, others are so extremely masculine in appearance that they would never be able to even semi-pass until they get surgery and hormones; obviously, it's obvious who the RLE is going to be harder on, which Trans will be more prone to suicide, depression, and repression. Also, some people are plain finacially broke and don't have $5,000 to spend on a year of mindless therapy. And then some people plain out know what they want and don't have a single conflicting mental disorder that would render them unable to make a proper choice.

I have been using a set of sizeable forms for a few weeks now and being larger than the 'enhancers' I had been using, they make me look more balanced.  I'm 6'3" in real measurements, and have broad shoulders.
They actually give the illusion of a smaller waist. Once there is a bit more growth I will probably go back to a padded bra and chicken fillets.

Padded bras work wonders, there are also forms that are advertised as "enhancers".  As your own grow, you could switch to progressively smaller "enhancers" to balance it out.

As someone who is normally the sort that would decry padded anything because of their potential for hypersexualization and unrealistic standards, I'm willing to embrace my own hypocrisy and advocate for the padded bra.  It's a beautiful invention.

I've never used enhancers, though.  I'm happy with myself at 32A with this pushup bra that I guess makes it look like I'm rocking a B?

I'm 6' tall, and I use 42C breastforms. They're a little big; I think I should have gotten the 42B set instead. But, I think I look not too out of balance with them.

Shades O'Grey, you look great there.  If you are wearing the C's they really look great to me, being a 42 you can easily be a C and not look out of place at all.  A large chest size requires a larger cup size to look good.
