Same as transmasc people do - mastectomy
Half way done, might as well finish the job.

Why? Why not leave the combo deal?

Titties? Awesome.
Dicks? Also awesome.

There's nothing to finish, OOP is perfect as-is.

Absolutely valid point, take my upvote. 😊
Keep the dick, add a neovagina. Peak.
Dream woman right there.
Dream surgery right there, in that I’m never gonna be able to afford that. =/
Some it the alt-sex community already did that.
Or remove dick, no other changes. Just have a straight up cloaca.

Yep, checks out

So you want them to get E cups?
I think they prefer a good solid ZZ top.
102 ZZZ Is actually the biggest attested.
I want to know how the fuck you “absent-mindedly” get your hands on estrogen because there are some trans friends of mine who’ve had massive issues with sourcing it.
Vanuatan pharmacies that deliver globally. In a lot of countries estrogen is gray market
“Absentmindedly…”
Forcefemmed by their own subconscious…
Then it’d: “Subconsciously.”
Could you perhaps link to these? For research purposes ofc

Search inhousepharmacy. Here’s a list of places I found but haven’t vetted. Worst case here’s a diy approach I’ve never tried.

Legal disclaimer: diy hrt is always less safe than monitored and the legality varies. Back in my day back in my country you wouldn’t get in trouble. Develop your risk profile before checking to see if your course of actions fits within it. I’d hate to get someone v coded.

DIYHRT.Market is a community-driven project to provide accurate and up-to-date information to the trans DIY community about the sourcing of hormones. In our view, DIY is an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of a transphobic medical system that does not trust trans people to know who they are. We do not aim to give advice or opinions about how to use these medications, only the best possible information on sourcing while occasionally sign posting useful information or studies that may not be well circulated so that you can make well-informed decisions about your own body.

Where I’m at, a lot of the weed dealers have shifted to E post-legalization. You love to see it
To me this falls in the yes it’s a neat thing, no it’s depressing that it has to be done this way.
I’m pretty sure they’re joking. E is slang for ecstasy, not estrogen.
Porque no los dos?
Lmao. Oh. 😂
But also yeah I have had someone offer to go in on a bulk purchase of E with me before. It was even in a weed circle with people I barely knew
Absent-minded =/= accidentally
Fair point but I’m still confused how one could happen to have E lying around the place absent-mindedly.

I intentionally got an E prescription, but by the time the prescription was filled, dissociation made me feel like I was just a different person again and I was numb to the idea of taking them, so I was just taking it because the previous me thought I should. So I took it absentmindedly for a little bit (but that was only like days, not months).

Anyways, its 4chan, so obviously its fake and gay™.

C? In a year😭 no fair

“Absentmindedly”, like it was an accident?

C-cups in a year?

Such nonsense, very 4chan.

Seems pretty small for a sterotypical overweight internet edge lord.
Might have started with B cups. Might be fake
Possible, I did that.
What has their weight to do with it? Really no reason to fat-shame! :(
For boobs? It helps. You never heard of fat boobs?
Sure. But that’s not what the other person said. They used specifically “overweight” as a term to devaluate someone.

That’s your interpretation. The context is getting large boobs in a year of hormone therapy. The other person said that the typical 4chaner edgelord is overweight and thus shouldn’t be so hard to get bigger boobs in a year.

The devaluating part of the term is “edgelord”, not “overweight”, you are for some reason bringing fat shaming into the convo when it’s about edgelord shaming of overweight people.

“Overweight” is a fat-shaming term in itself and it is loaded with social stigma and devaluation…
Overweight is an adjective. It is absolutely not a fat shaming term. As a former fat kid I can attest there are far worse terms than being called “overweight” and I’m genuinely curious why you have such an issue with a non-issue word?

Overweight is descriptive of people that are above the normal amount of weight. Normal being, the statistical norm. It’s a math term don’t get it twisted.

I am overweight. If you have over 25% of fat in body, you are overweight. If you have over 30, you are obese. I am obese right now.

If you want to load stigma into terms you do you, but I am not.

This is not true. It isn’t any prove that people that weigh more than the “healthy” range are less healthy. That is just more stigma against fat people. Obesity as a concept is deeply intervowen with stigma.

I can recommend the podcast “Maintenance Phase”, where the hosts tackle these misconceptions and the stigma with deep dives into the actual research. Most of the debate about health is just bullshit and more about normativity and power than it is about health.

Maintenance Phase

Maintenance Phase

I know people that induced themselves with type 2 diabetes because of their weight. Weight is directly related to heart disease issues and other freaking serious stuff.

None of the people of the podcast you recommended (a podcast instead of a scientific article when talking about actual health issues bruh) is a doctor or an actual medical researcher. There are several studies of reputable sources proving several of the issues listed in the following link.

www.niddk.nih.gov/…/health-risks

I know that there’s a lot of stigma from the fitness industry, but to say that there are no real issues from having too much fat in your body is crazy. No. You can dispute all you want but I wanted to at least write one response so people that come after have an actual source instead of a freaking podcast.

That overweight and obesity are terms that the fitness industry misuses to create stigma? Sure, but they are medical terms with actual meaning and are related to medical issues.

Health Risks of Overweight & Obesity - NIDDK

Overweight and obesity may increase your risk for developing health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.

I definitely tried to be as absent minded about it all for the first year. Mentally things happen fast. Physically, if you are waiting to actually see something you’ll go crazy. You have to pretend like nothing unusual is going on and boom 3 or 4 months go by and you actually notice the difference. I can’t be the only one that did this.
I had a friend who took a photo every day. Can confirm, she went crazy. She has a really cool timelapse now though, which she says was almost worth the inordinate amount of mental anguish she caused herself.

I felt like they were doing shit for the first few months, kept taking them but I’d sorta given up expectations, year in suddenly I realize I have boobs

Mind, I’m autistic, have ocd, and a generally chaotic irl, I am not claiming to he normal

C cups sound big but on a trans woman they might not be. I got C cups in 6 months and you wouldn’t know it to look at me.
trade me your awesome genes🙏😭
For real, I’ve been on E for over two years and I’m just barely past an A-cup.

The best indicators are to look at your parents and siblings, then perhaps auncles and niblings/cousins.

Then take a cup size less (especially if you started after the first puberty).

best way is to have a bit extra fat when you start on E.

😭 did I mention I am Japanese?

Do you get your levels tested, I had really shit levels on oral/sublingual and got like 10x the breast growth on 6 months injections than several years of pills.
Yeah, I’m tested quarterly. The low E works for me 'cuz I’m nonbinary and prefer a mixed hormonal balance.
Two years in and they’re still testing every 3 months? Is that just the norm there?
It is, yeah. Or at least I think the state requires insurers to provide it as gender affirming care.
It’s not what it sounds like, most people would guess I am an A cup.
