So, I Am a little over 3 months on E (4mg EEN) and yesterday I saw my boss for a meeting after quite some time (havent really seen him for like 4-6 weeks) and this man straight up sees me and is like “Wow, youre growing boobs”. I mean, yeah I Am, but I was not aware, that they are this obvious.
However, for now I have no fear that I can no longer boymode, since I wore a relatively thin (but really cool) pullover through which you can in fact see my boobs. If I wear a hoodie, you can’t see anything.
That was definitely quite an affirming and funny interaction.
Yep. Going braless can be a fashion statement outside work (very 90s), but it’s seen as pretty unprofessional to have visible nipples. It’s also generally something that less passing trans women (especially early in transition women) get way less social leeway on. That said, before I got mine pierced I typically went braless socially, but since then it’s just too visible to do outside the sort of contexts where it’s socially appropriate to flash my high beams.
why did you start wearing bras after getting pierced?
I always wish I had the confidence to go braless in public, but I think it would attract unwanted attention 🤔 I’ll do it maybe if I have like a knit sweater or layers on that hide the nipple, but it feels too sexually explicit to wear my normal shirts without a bra 😅
Because it makes the nipples more visible under shirts. When you’re wearing something baggy with subtle nipples it’s fine, but when they’re always prominent it’s less so.
