Why do you have such big boobs

[JohnH]

About two weeks ago some lady in my church choir asked me why I have such big boobs (bra cup size DD). I was wearing a dress that emphasized my chest mounds,
Lady: Did you smoke weed?
John: No, I have been on estrogen for the last 12 years.

And then there was the tedious questions and answers why I am taking estrogen. She wondered if I had prostate cancer and that was the treatment, And I said no. And on and on...

Then last week she asked me if who applied makeup and nail lacquer (polish). If I was as sharp as I should have been I would have jokingly said, "My cat" as I live by myself except for my really loving cat. Next question: "How did you learn?" Now that is really easy compared to laying hardwood floors, baseboard molding, and T molding. I also replaced parts of the water heater, including the thermostat and the thermocouple. I explained all that to her,

I guess some people out there are really forward as such as asking a man in a dress why he has such big boobs.

Note: I don't exactly have a feminine voice. In a community choir with about 12 men I had the deepest voice. And I sing second bass in the church choir.
When I wake up in the morning with my vocal cords relaxed I can sing down to G1, three ledger lines below the bass staff.

It's certainly an inappropriate question unless you're good friends. But, I guess being curious is better than judgmental.

[JohnH]

All the members of the church choir are all good friends to each other. Everybody in the congregation is close knit.

[Di]

JohnH, You are a kind person .
When reading her questions to you I had steam coming out of my ears.
I am glad your group is close knit, perhaps she just is that way all the time .
Hopefully she learned something.

[kimdl93]

Wow, such an inquisitive woman!

[JohnH]

Di, I thought is was hilarious that someone would be so bold to ask such questions. I NEVER felt any anger at all with the questions.

Wait, she was asking someone wearing a dress why they were taking estrogen? That's the strangest part of the story for me!

[OrdinaryAverageGuy]

You're wearing a dress, you have big boobs, you admitted to taking estrogen, and yet your nail polish still came into question? There's obviously no IQ requirement to get into your church. At that point I think I would have held a mirror in front of her mouth to make sure she was really alive.

[JohnH]

I guess I still register to her that I have a masculine aspect due to my voice. When I sing my voice timbre is definitely that of a bass, heavier and deeper than the typical baritone So I guess that's why she asked about my painted fingernails.

Bless her heart.

[JohnH]

There are some people who blurt out their thoughts as they don't filter their thoughts before speaking. Such people have a hard time getting along socially.
Those people need to be treated with kindness as they are hurting inside...

You handled that quite well! I have had people ask me stupid questions before but no one has asked my why my breasts are large, not even my wife! Lol

[BLUE ORCHID]

That was an Interesting Story,

[Heather76]

I'm amazed and humored at the same time. It's nice you were able to have this conversation without getting upset. The ONLY thing my wife has ever said about my forms is "I'm not sure I like you having bigger boobs than me." And that was with my DD teardrop forms. She has natural DD boobs that, at our age, sag quite nicely. She's never commented on my F cup forms. I cannot imagine my response if someone else ever commented on my boobs. If questioned why they are the size they are, I'd likely just say, "Because I like them that size."

[docrobbysherry]

Is her name Karen? I think I've met her.:straightface:

[...]There's obviously no IQ requirement to get into your church.[...]
No offense meant, I'm sure. ;)

Yeah, there's some sense of entitlement going on. Or maybe some "mammary envy"?

You should have offered to give this person some makeup pointers to improve her looks. She's clearly threatened by yours.

[prene]

WHen my last/ex gf found out about my dressing.
She did not like I had bigger boobs than her.
She did ask me why mine were so big and then she broke it off

[KarenCD334]

Is her name Karen? I think I've met her.:straightface:

I resemble half that remark some of the time. Hahahahaha

[JohnH]

Patience, a person has to be interested in his/her appearance to go to the effort. You look at the woman in question and you will realize she's not that interested. I think she was interested in small talk, and given the way she does not filter her thoughts when she speaks, she's bound to talk about things that others might take offense.

To be fair to this individual it isn't everyday you run across someone who looks like a woman in appearance yet has a deep masculine voice..

John

[Aka_Donna]

Forget those who make this an offense issue and name calling as Karen, sometimes it is just refreshing and fun to have a conversation with an unfiltered person. Enjoy the moment and the memories.

Thanks for sharing.

[JohnH]

Which I do. I do enjoy the moments especially since my wife passed away April 4 of this year. And I also appreciate the companionship of my dear affectionate cat whose affection is greater than any dog I have ever had.

Actually for me it is, the sons partner is trans and the sales person at the Lego store we shop at is also trans. Both present as female and both have less than feminine voices.

[JohnH]

Are these individuals bass singers rather than the typical baritone?
Can these individuals do the "Rach Challenge"? Look it up on YouTube. That comes from the ending of Rachmaninoff's work of "Now Lettest Thou Thy Servant" where the second basses start at Bb2 and descend to Bb1, two ledger lines below the bass staff. I can do that, something most men cannot do.

Wow, she went all Gladys Kravitz on you. You handled it quite well.

[Sometimes Steffi]

You handled that quite well! I have had people ask me stupid questions before but no one has asked my why my breasts are large, not even my wife! Lol

I had a similar question from a GG. I was out with my TG friends and a group of 4 GGs came up to me. One of them asked me how I do it. I was about to say, "The same as you, one leg at a time."

But, then I figured out that she wanted to know how I did my breasts. I thought the simplest answer was the best, "I'm wearing breast forms, very similar to mastectomy forms". When I got a puzzled look on her face, I just popped them out and asked her if she "wanted to try them out for size." She tried them on an bounced them around a little, then another GG wanted to try them on until all 4 GGs had tried them on.

It sounds unbelievable, but I have a TG witness who was too tongue tied to say anything about what she just saw until it was over.

hello John,
you do not say where the lady was from or how old she is.
Not everyone has the "politeness" of the English .
For example a dear friend is German and then lived in Australia and will make quite personal comments to your face.
Also people tend to lose their frontal lobe self restraint as the reach their older years and tend to say out loud what they are thinking.
From what I read into your post, this lady was genuinely curious in an empathetic sort of way.
luv J

[jjjjohanne]

John,

People are curious, but we typically want to be polite. Once a conversation or a friendship is started, the opportunity to ask questions is there. After that, your personality opens the door to most people. You must feel like a kind, safe person for her to talk to you. Good job. People will ask us questions if they feel like it is safe and we aren't being offended...

OR, she has no fear and says and does things that are more socially "out there" and is one of those people who has "never met a stranger". :) In either case, this says good things about you!

Joey.

[JohnH]

I guess it's not everyday you come across a person who has the appearance and attire of a woman, and yet has a deep masculine voice. If you only heard me speak you would imagine me as being a tall man with a beard. And in my church choir I'm the person who can sing notes requiring ledger lines below the bass staff. All of that would arouse anybody's curiosity. I guess I could call myself a Busty Basso. The woman in question is slightly older than me.
