were you wearing a bra when this interaction happened? also, does he know you're on estrogen and transitioning (or were you still "boymoding")?
I wasn't wearing a bra since I had to wash the only one I own. He knows that I'm trans and that I was changing my name, but I didnt told him that I'm on HRT (I dont tell it that much in general). I was somewhat "girl moding" that day. I wore some grey high waist jeans and I wore this quite comfy wool pullover that I bought rom a local thrift store. It is not that thick, and not that baggy which causes my boobs to poke a little through.
The pullover I wore:
congrats girl, but you need to wear a bra.
If you can see your nipples through the shirt, you might need a bra with more padding. Bralettes sometimes come with removeable foam pads, those are the ones that work really well.
welcome to girlhood :-)
Seems like I will have to get some. So much stuff to buy and so little money :(
Yep. Going braless can be a fashion statement outside work (very 90s), but it's seen as pretty unprofessional to have visible nipples. It's also generally something that less passing trans women (especially early in transition women) get way less social leeway on. That said, before I got mine pierced I typically went braless socially, but since then it's just too visible to do outside the sort of contexts where it's socially appropriate to flash my high beams.
why did you start wearing bras after getting pierced?
I always wish I had the confidence to go braless in public, but I think it would attract unwanted attention ๐ค I'll do it maybe if I have like a knit sweater or layers on that hide the nipple, but it feels too sexually explicit to wear my normal shirts without a bra ๐
Because it makes the nipples more visible under shirts. When you're wearing something baggy with subtle nipples it's fine, but when they're always prominent it's less so.
If you happen to have a costco membership, or know someone who can order for you there are some wire free bras from there that come in a 2 pack that's cheaper than most of the bras I've looked at in stores. The brand is buffalo, and they're pretty lightly padded and don't have much form, and combined with no underwire means they will fit a wide range of boob sizes and should continue to fit as your boobs grow in. I wear them with or without my breast forms, which is a difference of an A/B cup to D/DD. I'm bad at estimating my cup size because my chest is very broad ๐
Well, I dont even live in the US, so that's not an option for me.
I will probably, just buy a pack of sport bras or so. I have no clue what my cup size would be and for now I Am just going to be lazy and sticking to sport bras.
Also a good option! If you can find them, maybe try looking for one with a deeper neckline to keep wardrobe options open. I also started out with just sports bras and an unforseen consequence was I couldn't wear a v neck without my bra showing!
