Polls / Re: What size bra do you wear?
« Last post by Dudewithboobs on Today at 12:22:21 PM »Summer is tough. Going to the pool and such is fine at times I realize how many body’s are out there that simply aren’t “ideal” and it’s comforting. But still, breasts is just a different level of “ideal” body type for a guy still and unless you’re significantly overweight it just doesn’t look like it can be dismissed. But we accept adjust and move along

« Last post by Dudewithboobs on Today at 12:20:50 PM »Thank you! I’m glad prognosis has been extended to a much longer outlook. Hope health and all remain in good standings.
I’ve let go of any option out there to mitigate things. What works for the moment ends up hurting in the not too long run of things. And I feel it’s all been short term helps with long term set backs. Feeling like I’m 18 again in some therapy’s and then later on dealing with ED and more breast growth then re routing to something else and similar issue to endo therapy’s doing not much.
It sucks cause we want another kid but I feel my system just isn’t making things possible. And I’ve resigned to the reality that my body may just be in some kind of permanent set baseline of estrogen dominance from long term hypogonadism that simply refuses to allow permanent re balancing.

« Last post by 50/50 on Today at 12:17:58 PM »38C now. Was a38B. My doctor says I’m at the most 15 lbs overweight. I just keep growing.
It’s a little frustrating in the summer months.

« Last post by Dudewithboobs on Today at 12:15:26 PM »It is a shame people cannot simply exist freely without concern of backlash and other things. For simply just being them. Especially when it is of no harm or foul or intent to cause question if this is honest or just fantasy driven.
When I began on this site I protested the idea of men wearing women’s garments. Outside of a bra of course. As time went by and conversations were had I dismissed that idea of sorts and even began admitting it was worth a try as clothing began to not fit as well.
As my chest grew so did my perspective. I consider myself non binary but male presenting and have zero interest in being female whatsoever. But I have a strong feminine side that I trust is surfaced from long term hormonal imbalance. I don’t believe it was caused by it. Just suppressed somehow and estrogen dominance allowed it to surface.
I’m very masculine but wear women’s clothing in some areas exclusively. I enjoy feminine activities and colors and am much more loose with emotions than ever been.
It isn’t about being male or female or this and that. It’s just about being yourself and comfortable with it.
I feel labels get put on people more than food and it’s unfair.

Acceptance / Re: This is me
« Last post by Dudewithboobs on Today at 12:00:28 PM »I can still get by on some days without a bra. When I am very active in working out it helps keep things locked in without a bra with muscle mass around the chest area. And when I get burnt out and quit working out for awhile I can tell they become much more mobile and noticeable as a result and a bra becomes more necessary than optional.
Curious it's incredibly clear as to why you would need a bra. If it wasn't for the forum, I'd have a tough time not believing that wasn't a womans chest braless.

The hypogonadism route can be a rough ride. I does pay to stay on top of the condition whether through traditional western medicine or a holistic approach (TCM or Ayurvedic) . I have used elements of all of these disciplines. It has payed off. There’s a 2 1/2 year roller coaster ride that I took just to get a diagnosis. MEN Syndrome. It’s an albino unicorn type of condition…rare. The result was the gynecomastia & a host of other crazy happenings. It took 8 months & failed trials of meds to get homeostasis on the hormonal front. My ending of this journey was 4 endocrine surgeries, including a castration and a no to Testosterone replacement due to cancer. I am very hypogonadic ! The light at the end of the tunnel is the last Endo condition that was expected in the syndrome, a cranial (pituitary) tumor. The drugs have worked it shrank & the following up hunt for more after the initial diagnosis is on. I’m half way through the scans & testing for recurrence and good news is so far nothing has emerged. MRI & more labs in 2 weeks. I feel great.
Life is good for us (wife). My prognosis is now out to late 80’s. I am 76 now.
I will venture to say most here have a complicated course to breasts but please stay on top of the condition. Still waters run deep , work at keeping your hormonal balance textbook. Live a good life & use all the tools to keep yourself healthy including a good supportive bra.
I know, TMI but stay strong & stick around the group can use the energy of all members.

Acceptance Garments / Re: Strapless bras and tanks
« Last post by Parity on Yesterday at 03:01:48 PM » Birdie that does look like a nice bra. I have one from Torrid and like it. I don't have any strapless bras but have often wanted to try one. I never did because I didn't want to find myself giving it the vertical tug like many women I see have to do. It appears to have some boning in the band which is nice. Also like the removable straps. I may have to check it out.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Acceptance Garments / Re: Finasteride and atypical antipsychotics
« Last post by Midagemoobs2 on Yesterday at 01:42:45 AM »Finasteride (or Dutasteride) stops DHT production and that really helps with prostrate enlargement, but yes it risks breast growth - I am sure it is part of what has very slowly contributed to mine over the years. The percentages that develop overall are low (about 2%), but my theory is those of us who had noticeable gynocomastia to start are more likely to see growth than others who have very little or none.
Of course, only you can decide what's best for you given your experience. For me, prostrate issues are otherwise so bothersome that I am good with the tradeoff as I have learned how to accept and work with my chest. Best Wishes!
