I've been wearing a bra and forms for several weeks and a few months now that are C or D. I mentioned before that I plan on having breast implants even though I'm not fully TS. In two weeks I have another consultation with a surgeon who suggested I first live with having breasts and see how it affects my everyday life. So far I have not had a problem. I actually love the feeling of affirmation of having breasts. I've been out and about and no one seems to care or say anything. I really don't care what people think. I've worn regular drab T-shirts and sometimes a hoodie sweatshirt now that cooler weather is here. But the best is a nice top or a dress. My wife and I have gone to stores like Walmart to shop for bras for me and her and you can't help but notice I have "ample" endowment. We simply act confident wherever we go.

I have had counseling. My counselor is very cool! She has basically told me that I need to be true to myself and that my happiness is all that counts. She has sent a letter to the surgeon recommending that I can move forward. She also suggested my hapiness could be diminished at the expense of what someone might think.

Wearing a bra all the time for me is a joy. It's something that allows me to feel who i truly am. The feeling of wearing one just makes me feel good about myself. I have a few girl friends who know me and only a couple like when they can take it off at the end of the day. But all of them tell me that having breasts are an affirmation of their sexuality. They don't mind taking them off, but they also like slipping into a soft nightgown.

I found that I like the feeling of large breasts with the forms, wide straps, and a feeling of confinement. With breast implants, I am sure I will feel that they are my own, and bras will become a part of my life. I can't wait!
