[Superb]

Thanks so much, everyone, for sharing your points-of-view. I hope others chime in!

Demented, I have seen most of your posts and I don't want to just start repeating what others have said, so I'll say this:

As a human being - on earth and presumably in a free country (US?), you have one great thing going for you: you have freewill. Change what you can, when you can. Find your way. Don't worry that your issues won't all be worked out this week or this month, but do visualize and try to move towards making your life/body/whatever what it needs to be. Because of that freewill, it's very possible that you'll end up in a better place a year or two from now than you even thought possible. Does a year sound way too long? If it does, it's because you're young. When you get to my age, you'll realize how youth and impatience kept you from pursuing your goals. Don't squander this opportunity - change what you can and try to be patient. You can work this out.

I for one am happy that this site exists.  There are a ton of trans centric sites that cater to those in transition.  I've been on them like most of us here trying to learn what I wanted to know and I've  seen the way people get treated that stray from the approved path.  I've been on the gynecomastia sites and 98% are guys who want nothing to do with breasts and will have their chests mangled by a ham handed surgeon just to get rid of their breasts.  I discovered this site back when it was part of breastnexus, I would spend hours reading and trying to filter out posts from the women that were irrelevant to a male trying to grow breasts.  I would like to thank whoever decided to spin off the male portion.  I have always felt that this is a very inclusive place with the focused goal of helping men grow breasts.  The transgender community is a small one but I think that community of men who want to grow breasts and stay male is even smaller.

Like others here I've always had a fascination with breasts and I've crossdressed using breast forms.  I always thought I  looked pretty good in male mode but with a bra and forms, they just looked like big fluffy pecs.  In the early days I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could have my own breasts.  Then the internet happened and it ran headfirst into the transgender movement.  I started asking myself if transgender people can grow breasts then why couldn't I do the same but without transitioning?   

Also over the last few years I've seen more men posting on sites like realself asking about getting female breast implants.  At first all of the doctors answered questions as if the men were transitioning but now some are finally starting to understand that there are men out here that would like to have breasts.   I've even seen a plastic surgeon's web site from Texas that flat out advertises that he performs breast augmentation on males staying male.  I look at it as just another form of body modification like a tattoo or a piercing.   Why should great tits be the sole domain of just women?
