What it's Like Growing Breasts When You're Transgender

I'm MTF transgender, and I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to relate what it's been like to acquire breasts, get a rack, grow some knockers....

What it's like growing breasts when you're transgender

First off, what really surprised me about having breasts is how natural and downright normal it feels. Sure, I like them and having them was something I looked forward to about being a woman, but the biggest feeling I have about them now is "this is how my body is supposed to feel". In retrospect, I guess I should have expected that (you know, that whole "wrong body" thing?), but somehow I didn't. It's interesting how easily one's mind can change its definition of what's normal- now I can't imagine not having them.

As my bosom was blossoming, I at first had an almost clinical detachment to the the process- internally, I though of the slowly growing mounds on my chest as merely "breast tissue". Yeah, it was kind of boring for a while, I guess. But then one day, something clicked, I realized "holy crap, I've got breasts!", and a shiver ran down my spine. I guess it was a major milestone in my life, but at the time it was merely a pleasant shock.

Now for part that will probably both satisfy guys' curiosity and make them envious- the erotic feelings of breasts. The first thought that pops into my mind as I write this is "holy crap, I love having boobs" because, well, breasts can feel just so, so, good. Compared to my penis (which will be going away soon, thank God), I'd describe the sensual feelings I get from my breasts as both more delicate and more intense, and in total, much, much, more pleasurable. Even just a light brush with my fingers on the side of a breast can make me shudder with pleasure.

The bra issue: before I had my breasts, I thought I'd hate having to wear a bra, that it would be constricting and uncomfortable. For the most part, it's not. Nevertheless, at the end of the day it's nice to take one off....

Any questions?

  • It's a little disappointing looking at all these negative comments. Not because they're right or wrong, but because you don't need to ever pay attention to them. They just end up being whiny and powerless.

    This mytake has been an eye opener to how a transsexual actually FEELS about their old body compared to their new body. Nobody can deny you feel much happier after.

    • Ummm yeah people can deny it. Just look at the post op suicide rate. When you spend a lot of money on a new car you are going to talk it up no matter if it's shitty or amazing. Who's to say what a person actually feels from a fking post on some website? Maybe they feel terrible and are hoping for people to encourage them more so they can be assured they are making the right decision. AND BECAUSE OF VIRTUE SIGNALING MORONS LIKE YOU, THEY ARE FINDING THAT ENCOURAGEMENT!!! You are essentially encouraging a person to jump off a cliff, think about that next time you talk about something you know NOTHING about. Do some research from the anti operation side of this argument and find out all the reasons why it's an abomination and a terrible idea

    • @Goochbreaker whoa there. Non sequiteur AND slippery slope fallacies detected. Also, read your own damn post. "Who's to say what a person actually feels from a fking post"? The person themself, and beyond that really nobody else.

    • So the person themself is reacting to their own post? I think you missed what I'm trying to say or lack the language skills to convey your opinion. Detect fallacies all you want but until you specify them and explain why, your accusations are baseless. Only one person tried to claim what this person feels from their post, and that was you. "Nobody can deny you feel much happier after" Please read your own damn post, s'il vois plait, monsuer

  • Wouldn't one just ask a girl what it was like growing breasts in adolescence?

    I fail to see what being transgender has anything to do with the experience of growing breasts. Half of the human population have had this experience.

    • It's magical to finally feel comfortable in your own body <3 especially when you on thought it was impossible. Especially after you start the wrong puberty and you start to watch your friends get to grow into women while your body becomes disgusting. If I didn't start hormones when I was 15 I don't think I'd be here. by the way I don't think men are disgusting of course I find them hot but being a girl with a male body feels absolutely disgusting and humiliating.

    • I think the difference is how prepared for it the body is. Someone born biologically female, her body knows its coming and it happens much more gradually. Whereas for M to F is very sudden. And while they start off with small horomone doses, theu can increase quickly. You have this totally unprepared body thats fairly developed as a male and suddenly its like "wait, hold up!" Going through puberty, i very rarely had breast tenderness. But every M TO F individual I've heard have all had very very painful breast growth.

    • @ElizaPam You did not "start the wrong puberty". You started the right puberty. Your body did everything it was supposed to do, as determined by your genes and chromosomes. If you're born with XY chromosomes, those genes told your body to grow into a male - and with it, all the developmental features that come along with being a male. The opposite is true if you were born with XX chromosomes and became a female. If your mind thinks that you are something else, that doesn't make it true. Pumping shit loads of estrogen into a biological male, with a penis and XY chromosomes (or a man getting breast and vagina implants) is somehow less disgusting that growing up as your natural self?

  • Good ass thread in my opinion

  • Interesting to hear it from the other side... thanks for letting us know... would have just preferred that you posted as yourself. seems like you aren't very comfy with this change yet.
    Its ok, these things take time.
    (oh, and the reason why its not so bad, is because you were born male, slightly thicker skin... doesn't hurt as much)
    but i don't hate... I wish you the best... in my research, being with a trans M2F is awesome because they know it all... can't say I've had the experience.

    • I don't hate either and I don't have a problem with how anyone wants to live their life.

    • @edgyfox me neither... its their life.

  • So much hate in the comments... Thank you so much or sharing this, my friend will find this very helpful during her own transition. She's already been approved for surgery, and had started the gender reassignment hormone therapy last year, but then lost her job due to cutbacks. She was just able to get them again last month. She just told me last night that she can finally feel breasts startling to grow noticeably, and she's very happy.

  • Are you gonna go through with the vagina surgery? I heard its super painful.

    • of course he's not. It's a fad.

    • @J-Rock I'm not OP but I've been living as a girl since 2009 and taking hormones since 2010 so I hate when people sayit's a fad it's not a fucking fad omg

    • @ElizaPam And 3yrs ago someone told me the exact same thing about pansexual and where the F is that now? Every 5th girl what one. It's not a fad. Funny thing. Every third tv show didn't have transvestites in them. Hell, it's so popular there has been a transvestite in almost every new reality show there is. American idol, that dance show crap, hell even survivor had one. You gonna tell me that there always had been 1 transvestite out of 20 people the whole time of my life. It's a fad. If it wasn't then it wouldn't be thrown all over the place like a plague.
