How proud are you ...

[Nigella]

... to show off your new body part(s)?

Whilst laid up a day or two after my op I was visited by another woman who had just undergone BA, I knew her by sight from a meet and greet. She was waiting for her friend to come and pick her up. Her friend duly came to pick her up, she was a 6 week pre-op.

Anyway without much chatting, bearing in mind I didn't know her, she asked if I would like to see her results. Without comment, out comes her mobile and a picture of her "tuppence" is flashed in my face. WTF :eek:

I'm pleased with the results of my surgery, but to actually photograph it, on a mobile no less and then flash it to complete strangers, although part of the "sisterhood", not on your nelly.

Are you that proud you would consider this action? Have you taken a photo, even for your own reasons?

[I Am Paula]

She didn't even buy you a drink first? I'm well pre-op, so don't have a lot to add here, but a cis-girl I know well had a BA, and for a year showed them to anyone who stood still long enough. Pride is one thing, exhibitionism another. When I've gained some development I'll probably show them off a bit in the form of lower necklines, but not 'flash' anybody.

[Leah Lynn]

Nothing to see here; keep moving!

My wife has a friend who had BA. A few weeks after surgery, her friend invited my wife to View and feel the results. I wasnt invited to the showing.

I've certainly met trans women along these lines. They each seemed to have their own reasons, and most of them were clearly still dealing with issues of one kind or another. In one case it was clearly a matter of self-doubt. She carried a topless picture of herself as a defense against anyone questioning her femaleness. Other have flat out stated that they weren't going to invest that much and not show off the results. For some it seemed to be more of a shared rite of passage. Reasons vary, but it seemed to me to be rooted in a desire to be noticed and accepted in ine way or another.

[StephanieC]

Yeah, I don't want to show anyone any body parts that don't normally play in the light. Some clothing...at least.

[Sandra]

Well I can tell you the only people who you are going to flash it to are the drs and me :D

[Nigella]

But I'm proud of my tupppence

Hi,

Oh dear ill be out of the pan & into the fire with this one, Depends on the county not western any ways,
and the people concerned, and im very consouse of my self in showing my body to any one other than Jos. well yes one Dr Sanguan & staff,

While in Phuket i went to Patong for the evening , just a night out , well i met up with some 25 ladyboys plus the owner of a place where the ladyboys do thier danceing singing miming routine, .

Any way i allways had a translater not far away so langage was okay, As soon as they knew i had been at the Hospital they asked if they could see my surgerys, first my breasts so yes they did & a few wonted to touch so no issue there, then it was can we look at my female part after surgery , yes no probs .

after that i met 7 young ladys natal. who were interested as well so we went into the building again pulled my top up. & they wonted to touch. then it was my female part. up with my skirt, this is where it is just so lovely just to see thier faces light up was just so neat, the delight of my stay over there was showing them something that is so precious something that is lovely,

I see beauty in people and i was accepted as a part of them. a lovely people, and it was lovely being with them on the evening i met over 50 people and talked with quite a few, to experance something like that & to understand the inter acting going on youd have to have been there,

As a child you see the beauty just dont grow up & miss out on that part of life, thats how i experance life with them, for myself it was just ...SO...SO... NEAT.

...noeleena...

[Nigella]

Not really into the fire at all. From your writing, it was all with consent :)

[Marleena]

Well I can tell you the only people who you are going to flash it to are the drs and me :D

Lol @ this! You have been told! Nice to see you up and about and posting Nigella.:) No...I'm not looking for brownie points either.:D

[Trisha65]

It would not be my cup of tea to show my parts off like that (even if I had decent breasts).

[Nigella]

No...I'm not looking for brownie points either.:D

Not a brown owl so can't give the points, next moderation will be a :bitchslap: rather than a :bigsmack: :p

[Nicole Brown]

The only individuals who have ever seen, or will ever see, me without clothing are my doctors. Oh, and of course that one very lucky gentlemen.... :o

[Kimberly Kael]

after that i met 7 young ladys natal. who were interested as well...

That's another interesting aspect: the opportunity to inform or educate can be a worthwhile pursuit. There's obviously a very individual line regarding what's appropriate instead of exploitative, but there's a very real need to help others understand who we are and what the realistic outcome of various surgeries will be.

[Kathryn Martin]

I don't know what it is but flashing newly minted boobs, pussies and the like seem to be en vogue..... same happened to me a few times. Mine, although thoroughly spectacular only gynecologists and lovers....

[Tamara Croft]

Well I can tell you the only people who you are going to flash it to are the drs and me :DSo much for sharing... how rude :eek:

:hiding:

[LeaP]

I am definitely not up for photos. I could see showing breast development to close (trans) friends. Maybe it's just a lifetime of male habituation, but that doesn't strike me as too big a deal.

[Sandra]

Tamara I know we're friends...but that would be going to far....and you'd probably be jealous :lol: :lol:

[Tamara Croft]

Oh snap!!! how the :censor: am I supposed to reply to that without it being rude... or involve uhm... see... can't say it... goddamn you!!! :slap:

[Sandra]

Gotcha!..........................

[AllieSF]

It is interesting to me the whole phenomenon of flashing ones breasts, let alone other more personal body parts. I have only seen that done by somewhat inebriated younger ladies and for whatever reason, some TS's. I have seen topless women on beaches in all age groups, but to me that is not flashing. It is just getting a more complete and tan line free tan. Plus, most of those women and girls are from less puritanical cultures where shame of one's body is almost non-existent.

[Jorja]

Having had the proper body now for a long time, I have never had the desire to show it off for anyone except the man I fell in love with. That being said, I have been asked if "I wanted to see" by quite a few post-ops. I understand the excitment of finally having what you have so long desired but it's not a badge of honor or a tattoo or something.

[Barbara Ella]

Not a flasher here, even for "scientific investigation."...lol As boobs develop, lower necklines etc. will have to do for the interested individuals.

[Rogina B]

In the world of "tittie dancers" they used to do it all the time..proud of their "tit job". Come to think of it, some women show other females the "surgeon's handiwork"..and compare...Sure gets me jealous!

[Angela Campbell]

I do not think I would even be comfortable showing something off to a Dr. much less a stranger. No pics either unless they are decent.

[ReineD]

I've had two people take their mobiles out and show me pictures of their surgery results. They were as proud of the work as any new parent is proud of their new baby! :)

I wasn't offended at all, in fact I understood. I gave all the appropriate compliments which wasn't hard to do ... I must say in both cases they were all healed and the work was exemplary. The only time that I was a bit shocked was when I saw an online pic of the work about one week post-op. This was too soon.

Still I can see why some people might be offended if they are rather the private sort.

[Jennifer Marie P.]

I l;ove my body and the way everything turned espically my vagina and boobs.
