Zoe,
Angry, I am not; bored, frustrated and fed up, I am.The lack of replies to my post, proves my point. Most posters, here, do not want to confront reality.
Boobs cannot be grown, in some splendid, isolated bubble; for that, the only answer are implants.
I have, over 3 years, ingested huge amounts of phyto-oestrogens. Boobs are only a small part of the changes, they have wrought. Physicaly, my shape has changed, as I have developed a female fat distribution; mentaly, I am a different, much more contented, person. Body hair is vanishing [sadly, the same does not apply to beard hair]. As long as I take enough, to maintain the positives, "male function" evaporates. At lower doses, it is minimal.
I am at incresed rsk of breast cancer, and am on the brest screening programe.
When I came out, nearly 14 months ago, I had small B cups and, along with a dear friend, realised my time had come; I was having to go to increasingly elaborate lenghs, to try and conceal the obvious. How anyone could live with that, and maintain a male persona, beggers beleif. Now, my boobs define my body; I could only conceal them, somewhat, by uncomfortable, binding. Beleive me, consrained boobs are a very uncomfortable experience.
QED, the fantastists are not taking on board, the implications of having boobs, or are simply that: fantastists.
The TS deniars are another kettle of fish, with a long history. The American Journal of Phychiatry, states that 1 in 62,000 men are TS. Professor Lynne Conway demolishes that, with simple and sharp, forensic analysis. Her figure; between 1 in 200 and 1 in 800, with a best guess at 1 in 300 men.
To be TS is hell; at the very best, you live a life of low grade misery [walking on the borders of depression, is how I descibe it] A british surgeon, on television, recently, described GRS as the only operation, that can make someone happy. Set against the stark suicide statistics, is it any wonder that I am frustrated by deniars! May be here, a little anger creeps in, as, in my day, the medics tried to put people off, in some cases, because of their own problems; however social problems were the bigger bar. I just worry that denirs would so easily be the cause of uneccesary misery, at best, and, at worst, suicide.
For a TS girl PM is a mirical; it empowers you and enables you to confront the medics, from a position of strengh. You are not trying to persude them, that you meed hormones; you approach them as a woman, in transition, 2/3rds of the job done. This is so good and, yet, too many of the posts here are mired in bullshit and this simlpe message is lost.
My presemt feelings; of just getting on with my life, mabe selfish, but I am not the only trassexual woman, to feel them.
