I love having boobs!

You developed breasts the same time as the girls in your class did.  Were you interested in wearing a bra back then?

I tried on an older sister’s bra when I was 12 years old and it fit fine.   I don’t know what size it was.   I wear a bra every day and have done so for the last 5 years.  I should have started in my teen years.  I would have been physically comfortable.

That is a really nice bra and you look good in it.  You definitely belong in a bra as much as any woman does. What is your bra size?

[curiousk]

Depending on the maker, 42D or 44D.

D cup is definitely too big to go braless

“Double mastectomy” was brought up again today in the morning meeting with staff. They will pay for it under my insurance.

I told them, “I have been hiding my hips and breasts since I entered my teens behind bib overalls and baggy shirts and I finally accepted myself several years ago of ‘who I am.’ I now live my life of exactly as I was born and wouldn’t change a thing. Why in the heck do I care what others think about it.”

Maybe they will leave me alone for awhile.

  I believe people feel uncomfortable in various situations and conversations because they are ill informed, misinformed or just uninformed.  Ignorance is the issue here.  They are uncomfortable with you and your, "situation" so the want you to change to conform to what they understand.  I wouldn't undergo a major and unnecessary operation for the sake of others. 

  Why do people not wish to delve into a study of new matters and learn?  I'm always on the quest for deeper understanding of an issue.

You be you, and let them be them.  (With blinders on)

And again.. That is illegal. 

I could give a list, but.

Yes it is

Very true Parity. I have found a few times when people would glance at my chest, a time or two even touch my chest thinking it’s muscle and pull back like oh I’m sorry. And instead of addressing or asking or voicing the wondering they just awkwardly keep to themselves or shift a topic. 
I wish people would realize that just makes it feel more awkward or obvious. And doesn’t lean well to their perspective to lack the opportunity to be educated or understand why someone may have breasts who isn’t a larger figured person. 

Just, I’m sorry that has been the ongoing issue there. It seems for quite some time that has been the theme of things and I’m so very sorry you gotta deal with so much ignorance and rebuke. It’s a damn shame.

Dudewithboobs,
 
  Glad your back and contributing.

Thanks. I took a few months off as I frequented a different forum for a bit over at wewearbras and it was nice but wanted to come back here where the original roots were grown and spread in understanding, adapting and appreciating what we all deal with here. So appreciate it. 

Hope you are doing well

I would find people poking my breasts to see what they are ( muscle vs fat vs boob ) invasive. Something would get said.

I have had some females linger for a back pat after a hug to see if it is a bra clasp. Nothing has ever been said. Mostly I accept hugs from people that I know, stranger and newbies to me are thwarted from being able to wrap arms around me. Even before gynecomastia developed. Not a prickly person but I am not a fan of ( intimacy ?) at first  meetings.

The people with that intrusive of a demeanor need educating more in the field of social graces than in gynecomastia.

At a recent bra fitting the fitter holding the bra in front  said "lean forward  and slide your boobs into the cups". The first time anyone has called them boobs mostly they don't refer to them directly.  It was a very affirming moment for me. Yes I do have boobs and that's why I wear a bra.

I like that!  Sometimes I feel the only apparent reason for the hug is to feel and confirm or pat the back as you have noted.  

Old friends and such I don't mind.  It doesn't feel like an invasion into my space as much if we're better friends.
