Looking Back - Looking Forward

[Parity]

  I did look into the cooling pads.  Looking back I can recall days where I  really wish I would have had them.  I haven't ordered them but we shall see. 
 I continue to have growing pains and mild discomfort off and on.  That said, the more they fill out and get that fuller and true feminine shape, the more I like them.  Just shaving them, not just trimmed short, makes a big difference in how I see them.  How they feel and look in a nice bra has changed for me.  I'm happy where I am right now.

Yep, like the hairless look. Happy my journey to breasts took me through a loss of all my hair. 

Don’t think the wife would have been able to approve of me shaving everything. 

There is a modicum of enjoyment while dressing and seeing my chest against the bra fabric and smooth skin.

Or to look at your reflection in the mirror, see how your bra looks on you, the fullness, lifted and shaped.  To press on the cup of your bra, or to cup it, and feel how heavy and full the cups of your bra.  Full of you.  You can't but help feel proud.

At our age, I have lost most of my body hair.  I still have some hair on by chest.  I shave it because the hair is uncomfortable when wearing any bra.  It only takes a few seconds in the shower. Takes a lot longer to shave my face in the shower. All my body hair ended up on my face.

Back to topic......

Many years ago, I was told to visit this site by a social worker because I was presenting as male and had breasts (I'm intersex).

This site helped me find myself and come out as who I am. I'm still the little girl grandma was raising me to be before my father intervened. 

The medical PACE adult daycare program that I attend, that first lead me to this site, were not enthused at me accepting myself and have twice offered surgery to remove the problem that I refused.  I love my breasts and can't imagine life without them now. I let my hair grow out and wear 100% off the women's rack. Life is complicated now, I am required to dress 'androgynous' at the day-centre, but can dress as I please whilst shopping and at home. The day-centre attire is usually a bra, tee, leggings, ponytail, and cap.  

that is the past in a nutshell......

The future? Keep pushing my limits at the stuffy day-centre and Texas legal system. Keep dressing off the women's rack and keep loving my body for exactly as I was born. The hard right-wing 'better than thou' Christians at my building used to really come down hard on me. But I explained that I was born this way, and I have never taken estrogen. I'm intersex, so I am half and half. God made me this way. For the most part they leave me alone now. 

I browse this site and one other almost daily to see new input, and comment where I believe I have something to say. Bra wearing when support is needed is a no brainer. It's all about comfort. The girls bouncing around all day play heck on your neck and back. 

If the bra fits, wear it!

I feel for you living in Texas. In the UK I recently went for my annual review at the continence clinic to assess whether the pads provided still meet my needs. The nurse said she wanted to do a bladder to see if it was emptying properly. Unexpectedly she asked me to remove rather than lift my shirt to do the scan.  I did panic but went ahead. As I  removed it she looked at me and said very matter of factly "You can keep your bra on"  I just muttered  "Thank you" and nothing more was said.  It was a female nurse.
