[The First Aria]

Great suggestion Lotus had about this being one of the first subjects. After all, I think it sort of goes to the core of the dilemmas we face, right??

Normally I don't care, and haven't for about a year, about how other people react to me. But there are some of my and my Wife's family that just wouldn't or couldn't understand, as well as some of my long time associates or friends.

When I am faced with having to go "Strictly" male, I do not wear a bra, or I have a couple that purposely does not let em out so prominently. But even with that, I stay away from solid color shirts as well as tighter fitting ones too.

Since I am, in my own mind if no one else's, I have been getting more of a feminine shape, so, I do not wear any female jeans and wear male jeans that are somewhat tight on my butt, so I don't have to use a belt. (due to fact I am starting to get more of a female curve over my hips).

If anyone still notices my breasts, I blame it on my heart meds, because myself as well as my new Doctor believes that is a contributing factor to me having Gynecomastia.

I hope this can help someone, but I am sure there is some better ideas that might be lurking out there.

Iaboy, first of all, congrats on the new subforum! Looks like it's off to a great start!

I am curious: were you interested in cross dressing before you developed gynecomastia, or did the urge come after you developed breasts?

Well, It's not just mine, but anyone really in the same position or wants to contribute, but thanks.

It was before I had even my heart attack. I remember when in my 30's, my In-Laws had a costume Halloween Party. I went as a simple woman with a stuffed bra I borrowed from my wife, and wore one of her dresses and bought a pair of pantyhose.

Looking back on it, I am not really sure when it hit me that I would like to "dress up" sometimes.

Sorry, but I am trying to be honest, and I really cant say there was a " Ah Ha " type of moment or time frame other than the party.
