Its OK. You are allowed to check out your butt.
True, butt...doesn't that make me like, weirder than I already am?
I have enough weirdness to go around. Take some from me, please ๐ญ
Also, I have a bf. Checking me out is his job. He's totally slacking these past couple of days...
You worked hard for it. Also it's kind to help your bf when they are falling behind. If you both check it out you can get caught up in no time.
Lol, that cracked me up ๐คฃ
You worked hard for it
I really didn't though...
I barely even exercise. I used to, years ago, but now I just sit around...
Seeing my mother yesterday tho, I think that it might be partly genetics ๐. It should get even better with more time on E
I think Iโve always had them? Though I didnโt really process them until more recently. I really like them. Iโve thought about getting dermal stud piercings in them. Something like this

Omg that would be so cool/hot tho!
I'll have to ask my bf what he prefers ๐คญ
Reminds me a tiny bit of my piercings pre-HRT. I had both nipples pierced, but unfortunately had to remove them due to...well, growing breasts ๐
I had both nipples pierced, but unfortunately had to remove them due to...well, growing breasts ๐
Wait, seriously!?
Yes. I got them as a gift from our bf for our anniversary, if you mean having the piercings.
If you mean having to remove them...it's definitely a bad idea to keep them on E. Your breasts are growing, the tissue is changing...it's not good to have a barbell through your nipples at that time ๐
I've heard that it's recommended to wait at least year or two years after starting HRT before getting them pierced again.
I will NOT be doing that, since the first time I almost fainted because of the pain and I literally cannot imagine going through that with nipples as sensitive as these...
Well fuck. I cannot go thru that again. Ty for letting me know! ๐ฅฒ
I'm sorry. I really wish we'd get to keep them. They were impractical...but also really hot and affirming
But...boobs be growing ๐
My wife has always had them, i think she refers to them as venus dimples. I never did, but now that hrt is doing its thing, I've got some very faint ones. Only reason I noticed them is because I spend so much time looking at my own butt, which, I'm supremely thankful for, has always been asstounding, and it's only getting better! When I started wearing leggings, cis women all around me were getting mad ๐
That's nice! I'm really happy for you, lol
It's good to be proud of your own butt ๐คฃ
Jealous of your legging-wearing tho. I couldn't, not until I'm post-op at least. Gives me so much dysphoria ๐
Learning to tuck was huge for being comfortable in leggings. I don't really wear loose bottoms unless it's a skirt anymore, so I'll usually tucked unless I have a long top on that covers my groin
I'll be real honest...I don't tuck and I'm not really interested in learning.
I don't touch it unless I have to. I prefer not to even think about it. I know that doesn't make sense, since tucking is meant to minimize it, but I just really don't want to even acknowledge it...
It's not difficult once you get used to the process and how it feels. I tuck pretty much every waking second as I have really bad bottom dysphoria. I learned from a wikihow lol and my tip is to wear two pairs of snug panties with a sturdy elastic waistband. I never use tape or a gaff and I am perfectly fine going out in leggings or booty shorts.
Quick addition: outside of the times when I use the bathroom and have to retuck, I can mostly forget that it's there. If I'm not tucked, I am hyperaware that it exists all the time.
I should really learn...
I even have the tape for it
I'm a bit worried about using the bathroom, but I'll probably learn how to deal with that in the process. Thanks for the encouragement ๐
That is perfectly fair. Thank god for skirts!
Skirts ๐ค
Skirts indeed! Preach ๐
I have em and I am very much pre transition.
Neat! I think HRT, changing the fat distribution on your body, might make them more prominent for you? Maybe, I'm not really sure...
Also, I think nature knew what it was doing giving you Venus dimples lol
I have something similar on my stomach.
On your stomach? ๐
I hadn't even considered that...
Can you elaborate?
These things (though it's an old picture)

Huh. That's interesting. Pretty belly!
I really mean that. Really nice and flat. Girl, I'm honestly jealous
Yeah I have them. I also have a nice butt.
Neat!
Shall we establish the Nice butt team together? ๐
I guess everyone would be a part. I think all butts are nice!
When I was young I had a completely flat butt.
Well...flat butt still butt? All butts are beautiful? I don't know ๐ญ
Years of not being comfortable sitting down because it was skin and bones.
Oh my god, same! And I used to starve myself pre-HRT, so it was even worse!
There is some fat there now tho :p
So I'm not sitting on bone at least ๐
