So, im a Transfem who's had breasts since she was 12 years old. Born a male but developed gynecomastia that was quite noticeable no matter how much weight i lost or muscle i put on. So, with that being said, got kinda bullied hard growing up over it. Almost every boyfriend and girlfriend ive had made comments about them. Usually not mean or hurtful comments but.. it did make me feel insecure, so much so that one of my exes even recommended that i see a surgeon to remove them.

At 26 years old, i was about to do it. I even scheduled an appointment for a consulation with a surgeon... however, i ended up getting into a car accident and totaling my car so i had to rethink my financial situation and cancelled my appointment. I figured im not gonna be having surgery anytime soon and needed to focus on bigger issues at that point like my driving situation.

Luckily, in the meantime my egg cracked almost immedietly after... dont know what happened honestly... just hit me like a brick in the face right before i turned 27. I did immedietly go back in the closet right after and repress hard for almost two years but i found my way and embracing my identity now.

Im Happier than ive been in long time. Ive also grown to not only accept my breasts that i once hated and was a source of anxiety whenever someone noticed but now see them as integral to my identity and i even hope they grow... its weird. Life is weird lol
