Just my luck. I write out a post and of course my phone crashes making me want to be a lurker even more. I'll try to retype it but it will never be as eloquent as the first, I lost my stream of consciences.
I will post my view of the matter, and since I am a lurker more than a contributor to this forum you can take from it what you will. For a while I have been observing this forum, gleaning information that would help me with my own goals and everyone has been very helpful. I had noticed a trend of late and in the end the scenario I thought would play out did.
When I first found this forum I thought I had found a rare gemstone. A group of biological males who all want to grow breasts. We all had our reasons and they were all different. There seemed to be a sort of acceptance in what we were doing in not taking the traditional methods and that's what brought us together. "We're all on the untracked, unacceptable road. We have different end points but we're on it together." seemed to be the phrase the was the adhesive that bound us.
Slowly though there was a shift in the thinking. As members left and new members joined a new thought pattern seemed to emerge. There became more of a focus in the transitional aspects of NBE. It had always been there but now the focus was stronger. The phrase became more of a question, "Are you sure you want breasts? You can't get rid of them once you have them." to "NBE is serious" to "NBE is a form of HRT."
There is nothing wrong with warning people about the side effects of NBE but it cannot be what tears us apart. There seems to be a lot less tolerance for a male who wants to grow breasts and still present as a male. We just want breasts. We know we are playing with fire and we know that we can be burned. What wrong with seeing how close we can stick our hand before we feel pain?
Lately there has been a lot of comparison of NBE to HRT, and rightly so because two are very similar processes, but they are achieved with very different strengths. Comparing synthetic hormones to NBE herbs is like comparing a lighter and a flamethrower. You can be burned by both but the flamethrower is definitely more dangerous and should only be used in HRT.
I almost think that there should be two separate boards on this forum. On for those who wish to use NBE as a platform for transitioning and one for those that wish to still present as a male. It would solve the problem of having so many boards because the GI and the Other Appearance boards would be unnecessary in a NBE for M2F section. I would like to see it because it would allow males to feel more comfortable here, but I would also hate to see NBE cause the separation. We need a phrase to bind us together again. Can't we all just be happy that there are two more boobies in the world and not fret the details about if they are on a guy, a result of Gynecomastia, a little flat, or hairy? We aren't here to kid ourselves and we know what we want.
Boobs.
