They're disgusting. You know what girls feel when they start getting boobs? SHAME. Fear from the male gaze. Sickos. I read another guy say he was taking his progesterone RECTALLY. fucking rectally. Tooootally not a fetish

Why though? See this is really upsetting. Getting breasts, no matter the size, is part of coming into womanhood and the last thing that should be felt about them is shame or disgust. This is the train of thought that makes us afraid to explore our own bodies, and potentially what keeps us from having a good idea of our own genitals and what they look/feel like outside of looking at the crude manual inside of the tampon box. Learning about ourselves before being touched by another person, to figure out what we enjoy and what feels gross is part of that natural exploration and we should never be ashamed of that despite the possibility of male gaze. You can hide breasts under modest clothing, but maybe dismissing them altogether for yourself and who you later chose to share your body with (if you do) should be given a second thought.

Please let us not perpetuate shameful feelings for our bodies. We're role models for younger girls that might end up seeking out transition for the same feelings.

Another word...fear. Fear of your period, acne, being able to get pregnant. I got made fun of by all the girls in the locker room for developing earlier than them. It was hell. And the perverted men started with their comments immediately. I was afraid of being raped. Men were already touching me inappropriately. I had major issues with puberty and most of the women I know had similar experiences. Even more stressful if they developed late
