Here’s my take:
│Since there are many new girls on here , thought too try It again especially since a number of us seem to be flip flops
I’m not certain that I see myself as a flip-flop - a ’tweenie’ is nearer. Can one regard oneself as ‘bi-gendered’ or does that, like bipolar, imply a flip-flop? I think I’m always a bit of both.
│So
│Now you have your breasts
│Do you regret them ?
No way, but they are definitely still a work in progress. I have a nice little pair of titties, but they are still a bit lost and too far separated on my oversized and wrongly shaped rib cage.
│Are they comforting for you ?
Yes, they are the first thing that I have found after very many years of trying that really begins to meet my need to feel at least partly female. Even more comforting though is the feeling of inner peace that PM gives to me.
│Is it something you simply had to do ?
I have felt the compulsion to do something to feel a bit female for much of my adult life, except when I have been able to submerge it by other preoccupations.
│Would you let them go if you could flick a switch ?
There are occasions when it might be convenient to suppress them temporarily, and I used to be a little worried about hiding them if and when they grew. With PM I no longer really care, and I certainly don’t want to lose them. Despite my loss of male function (which had occurred before I ever started on PM), they play an important part in letting me know that I am still a sexual being.
│Does your wife/partner like them now ?
I like your use of the word ‘now’. For quite a time she denied that I was developing anything. And I think that she is a little uncertain still, with possibly some slight reluctance to handle them, and a tendency sometimes to be over rough when she does. But she agrees tht our physical relationship is now much better than it has been for some years, although ‘different’. Our relationship goes back over 50 years, and is far too important to us to take any major risks. But it doesn’t seem that a pair of boobs causes too much of a strain - much less for example than home renovation projects in which our DIY philosophies can clash. Even after 50 years we can still surprise each other sometimes, and obtain new insights and perspectives. She would certainly prefer that I still had my male function, but not unless it was fully effective, which we both now recognize is not really possible We are agreed that anything marginal or inadequate would be much worse than what we still have.
│Anything you would have done different?
If I’d known earlier what I know now, possibly I would have started sooner and not interrupted it with an abortive attempt to recover male function. But what really made it viable was the involuntary and near total and apparently irreversible loss of male function caused by successive pharmaceutical prescriptions (or mis-prescriptions).
│Would you fight to keep them now or make a stance ?
Yes: or rather I would do my utmost to keep the benefits of PM. I agree with Flamesabers' additional post on this issue, although my position is in some ways easier since I am older, retired and fortunate in my marriage, and have indeed been subject to relevant effects from medical treatment.
