I've been with two pre-op and post-ops and I have to say they turned out magnificent...j/s

No, this is no longer required. The reduction of gender dysphoria depends on the person. Not everyone feels they need to take T in order to reduce their gender dysphoria.

The muscle part was a myth....I don't know if surgeons fueled it (because they wanted an excuse to not go against WPATH standards), or where it came from. And then it just continued.

If you have no droop to your breasts, you can get the "keyhole" or peri-areola method. This has no scars. Dr Fischer is regarded as the best at this internationally. She is in Maryland and does take insurance.

I think in the long run, folks are going to do what they want to do, regarding this matter.

I for one have already looked into the process of reduction with the size I want from a doctor that will do it and knows my medical history, etc.

Saw a lot of butches and men last week and jeez it does make me second guess what to do.


I guess my biggest dilemma is I'm not sure I want to b perceived as male. But no bra, no binder.... hell, NO SHIRT.... seems like heaven
