      C cups sound big but on a trans woman they might not be. I got C cups in 6 months and you wouldn’t know it to look at me.

        Six months? Damn, you’re speedrunning shit. I got the same, 7 months in.

        Rn 8 months. Maybe it’s because of the band width being wider, so the fat is more spread out. I got 80C in my case, so it’s just about visible.

            The best indicators are to look at your parents and siblings, then perhaps auncles and niblings/cousins. Primarily the femme ones.

            Then take a cup size less (especially if you started after the first puberty). Following that logic I’d be looking at getting a D… so yay?

            You could also factor in the masculine members by doubling/tripling what they would have, but that’s more complicated. Best to just stick to your closest fem relatives for comparison.

            YMMY, though. It’s highly dependent and the best way is to have a bit extra fat when you start on E. Assuming you start with a healthy weight: cycle each week: eat more, then burn it when you eat a bit less and sport more. Fat redistribution will then go faster. Helps to squat too (for the hips, belly and legs).

            Do you get your levels tested, I had really shit levels on oral/sublingual and got like 10x the breast growth on 6 months injections than several years of pills.

            Sure, although in most trans women not as much that C cups would be seen as small.

            Anyways, that’s not what the other person was talking about. They used specifically “overweight” as a term to devaluate someone.

              That’s your interpretation. The context is getting large boobs in a year of hormone therapy. The other person said that the typical 4chaner edgelord is overweight and thus shouldn’t be so hard to get bigger boobs in a year.

              The devaluating part of the term is “edgelord”, not “overweight”, you are for some reason bringing fat shaming into the convo when it’s about edgelord shaming of overweight people.

                “Overweight” is a fat-shaming term in itself and it is loaded with social stigma and devaluation…

                  Overweight is descriptive of people that are over the healthy weight/fat in body range. It is proven that being over the healthy range has increased risks of having health complications.

                  I am overweight. If you have over 25% of fat in body, you are overweight. If you have over 30, you are obese. I am obese right now. Working on it.

                  If you want to load stigma into terms you do you, but I am not.

                    This is not true. It isn’t any prove that people that weigh more than the “healthy” range are less healthy. That is just more stigma against fat people. Obesity as a concept is deeply intervowen with stigma.

                    I can recommend the podcast “Maintenance Phase”, where the hosts tackle these misconceptions and the stigma with deep dives into the actual research. Most of the debate about health is just bullshit and more about normativity and power than it is about health.

                  Overweight is an adjective. It is absolutely not a fat shaming term. As a former fat kid I can attest there are far worse terms than being called “overweight” and I’m genuinely curious why you have such an issue with a non-issue word?

      I definitely tried to be as absent minded about it all for the first year. Mentally things happen fast. Physically, if you are waiting to actually see something you’ll go crazy. You have to pretend like nothing unusual is going on and boom 3 or 4 months go by and you actually notice the difference. I can’t be the only one that did this.

        I had a friend who took a photo every day. Can confirm, she went crazy. She has a really cool timelapse now though, which she says was almost worth the inordinate amount of mental anguish she caused herself.

        A forum that started about anime fandom where you post anonymously without any registration. It has really lax content policy and a wide variety of categories, so naturally it is a breeding ground for fringe politics and social movements as well as dank memes.

        I avoid it like the plague.
