Gynecomastia Acceptance Poll

[Gyno64]

Hello everyone.

I have had a little more time lately to read through many of the posts here.

I find there's lots of different feelings regarding accepting, not accepting or Plain neutral?



So I thought I would like to run a poll to see what everyone thinks and or feels about their Gyno?



It would be (A: A Blessed Gift) (B: Neutral) Or (C: A Curse).



And state why you chose your choice and how you feel about it.



I will go first. I would have to say ( B: Neutral ). I'm still dealing with the newness of developing breasts and trying to adjust to everything that surrounds it.

I kind of like it and I kind of don't.



How do you feel?

A (a blessed gift).

I always liked the feeling to have breasts myself. Now I've got the best of both worlds.
Think of yin and yang.

Having developed as a teen along side girls I have gone through all three feelings. As a teen and early years as an adult trying to find who I was, it was not fun. Dating was a challenge. I thought I was cursed. Then it came when life happened and I had to live and the feeling went from cursed to neutral but starting to have to figure out how to deal with the now prominent mounds on my chest. After a while I was forced to deal with my chest to either live with them and deal with them for what they are or to go through double mastectomy surgery and deal with the cost (out of my own pocket) and recovery and the possible revision surgeries and still not have the chest I would want or just embrace what has been bestowed upon me and celebrate them for what they are. After several years of contemplation and several life experiences, I chose to embrace my non male chest and "learned to love the bomb" to paraphrase Stanley Kubrick. And life has improved because of it. It's been a challenge at times, but no worse than what women deal with when it comes to their chests. I make good clothing choices and don't worry about it. It seems to work these days. 

Today if something were to happen to my chest, I suspect I would be devastated similar to what a woman would go through. My chest is so apart of who I am now. I have always had feminine sized and shaped breasts. I have no concept of what it would be like to not have them bouncing and jiggling on my chest. Bras are just a part of life now for me to control and support my chest, the same as any woman would. It has nothing to do with gender and all about comfort and appearance.

A blessed.. When they first started growing i danced.  Saying 'THEY ARE FINALLY HERE!!!!"  

This because my entire life I wondered why they never grew. Now I have them.  I feel almost complete.

  A...Blessed

As they fully developed, as I aged, it explained a lot in my life.  I now enjoy finding a bra for the day and feel confident wearing all day.

When I first developed boobs as a young teen it was definitely C+++. But even when I tried my first bra in those early teen years I realized it could be an A if I could wear a bra daily and lived in a bubble with no one knowing. 

With age and moving to full time bra wearing I have to say I am satisfied to have my boobs and wear a bra. It is a daily routine to put on a bra and I do not mind. Most of the time I forget that I am wearing one as it does its job well to keep things in place. So I don't actually think about it too much during the day.

I am more "A" today.

I would say A, blessed, and if they grew to be at least a C cup then doubly blessed.

Posted in the other post but basically started at C, moved to B and am now an A!

[PuffyBulletBoy]

From when my breasts began budding at 12 I was C. The bullying in high school and comparison to girls my age was dreadful. 
Moving into my 20's and early 30's I moved to B. The shame was disappearing and I started to accept this might be who I am.
In my early 40's now and I'm A. I have a loving partner who not only accepts but loves my breasts as much as I do. I feel grateful for my breasts now and hope they continue to develop and grow as I age!

Your teen years sound like mine. I too eventually accepted what I had been given. Life got a little less stressful.

How do you feel?

I feel the same way about my chest. I was traumautized about having boobs as a teenager because I got teased about them. But now I'm older and they aren't going anywhere, so I might as well make the best of it. I started visiting the "acceptance garments" forum here for advice on keeping the bouncing and jiggling under control. But then I started getting positive feedback and compliments about how my breasts look, which was certainly unexpected and has changed how I feel about my body.

When I was diagnosed 5 months ago I was definitely thinking it was a curse. I work construction. I hunt. I’m a man. So how could I have boobs. What was worse was that my doctor prescribed me to start wearing a bra all day EVERYDAY. 

I was depressed for three months. My wife saw me massaging my boobs before bed one day and she came over to me and told me that pain would go away if I wore a bra. She said she was okay with it. She told me to embrace it. She said I was still a man down there but up top I was a girl and I needed to take care of myself. She told me to embrace it, to explore what that means, and to be happy with what I have.

She took me bra shopping. I’m a 50C and the store only had 4 bras my size and one was pink or magenta according to my wife. When I saw my boobs in that bra I realized my wife was right, I AM a girl upstairs and a guy downstairs.

Over the last two months my wife has taken me shopping several times. I got some women’s tank tops and camis that I wear on the weekends. I got some new bras which are getting more girly each time. Last weekend I explored panties and I LOVE them. I browsed at the store but didn’t buy any. Then I borrowed some from my wife two days in a row. So nice! Very comfortable and I love how they match with my bras. I look more natural with them and my bras too as opposed to my men’s briefs.

As I have been exploring being a girl and experimenting with different clothes and discovering what it means to be a woman I am becoming more of a: this is a blessing person.

Maybe it’s the euphoria of being able to wear pretty bras, and cute bikini panties and camis that show my shoulder straps in a flirty way but so far I definitely like being a girl up top.

G-man TX,

  I've been traveling a fit and have just read your messages.  I'm delighted your here and sharing your story.  
I think it's great the way you, and your supporting wife, have embraced the situation. This is not life threatening and should be accepted and embraced 
If we are to maintain a healthy life.  Panties and bras have been a part of my life for many years.  It's what I wear with comfort and pride and no one 
I have contact with has to know but me.
  Again, glad your here and keep the dialogue going.  It helps others as well as ourselves.

Many years ago my wife told me I needed a bra more than she did. I had already known that having tried bras for years on my own and finding them improved my comfort with the support and containment.

But that opened the door to wearing daily without hiding it and that was refreshing.
