Estrogen Role in Breast Development: What You Need to Know
When I was young, seeing my body change was both thrilling and scary. The growth of my breasts marked a big step into womanhood. However, I didn’t fully grasp what was happening. Now, I see how important estrogen is for breast growth in women’s lives. This hormone not only influences the start of breast development before birth but also shapes changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.…

to chime in on a point made by another user, as i have personal experience with this as well- the terf argument of "kids being forced on to HRT" when they are willingly transitioning is incorrect. but other kids, intersex kids, ARE forced onto HRT without any will or say in the matter, and it is usually encouraged by their parents/guardians/caregivers.
when i was told about my intersex condition as a minor, there was NO discussion about the medications i would be taking or how they would help me. i had no option to take testosterone, or nothing. i was forced on to estrogen HRT to "Fix" my masculine features. it made me miserable for years. it worsened my chronic fatigue for years. and it didn't even help with the heavy menstrual periods i was having at the time, like they said it would. it made me grow breast tissue, which i wasn't comfortable with.
a teenager knowing and being educated on the effects of HRT and wanting to pursue it is not being "forced' on to HRT- but i was. it wasn't called HRT at my appointment, i was just told i had to take estrogen (and progesterone) now to "fix" everything that was "wrong", like my facial hair and high androgen levels. it was until i was able to take things into my own hands and start testosterone that i felt much more like i was inside my own body. i WISH i had gotten the choice to start T, or just not take the estrogen at all, but i wasn't. i was told i HAD to take it, because something was "wrong" with me.
hrt can be and is a wonderful thing for people who are willingly making that decision, but there genuinely are millions of people who have been affected by having their hormone levels policed by their medical team. all it takes is 1 doctor to make that decision and then your gender and biological sex are no longer up to you. what you want is no longer a factor. what makes you feel comfortable and safe is never considered.
when we advocate for bodily autonomy, please remember and speak about intersex experiences. to fight back against terfs by saying "NOBODY gets forced on to HRT as a kid" is not helping anyone. to say that "no one" is forced on to HRT when talking about trans autonomy, it steps on the toes of intersex people who have been forced on to HRT. trans kids wanting to transition aren't being brainwashed. but intersex kids are forced into making decisions about their bodies they don't want to every single day. it's not pretty, but we can advocate for both groups without making the other feel undermined.

Alan Mathison Turing
Alan Turing was was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist and is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science. During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre that produced Ultra intelligence. He led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers, including improvements to the pre-war Polish bomba method, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. Turing played a crucial role in cracking intercepted messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Axis powers in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic. in 1952 when Turing was 39, he began a relationship with Arnold Murray, a 19 year old unemployed man. In January of 1952, Turings house was burgled, and Murray told Turing that he and the burglar were acquainted, and Turing called the police to report the crime. During the investigation, he acknowledged a sexual relationship with Murray and both men were charged with "gross indecency" under Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885. On the advice of his family and lawyer he pled guilty. In March of 1952 he was convicted and given a choice between imprisonment or probation with the condition that he undergo a hormonal treatment to reduce libido, aka as "chemical castration". Turing opted for probation and began the chemical treatments. Over the course of the following year he was injected with estrogen, causing impotence and for breast tissue to form. In a letter, Turing wrote that "no doubt I shall emerge from it all a different man, but quite who I've not found out".
On 8 June 1954, at his house at 43 Adlington Road, Wilmslow, Turing's housekeeper found him dead. A post mortem was held that evening which determined that he had died the previous day at the age of 41 with cyanide poisoning cited as the cause of death. When his body was discovered, an apple lay half-eaten beside his bed, and although the apple was not tested for cyanide, it was speculated that this was the means by which Turing had consumed a fatal dose. Many question whether his death was suicide or accidental but it is officially listed as suicide. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II signed a pardon for Turings conviction of "gross indencency", with immediate effect. The Queen officially pronounced Turing pardoned in August 2014. The Queen's action is only the fourth royal pardon granted since the conclusion of the Second World War. Pardons are normally granted only when the person is technically innocent, and a request has been made by the family or other interested party; neither condition was met in regard to Turing's conviction. In September 2016, the government announced its intention to expand this retroactive exoneration to other men convicted of similar historical indecency offences, in what was described as an "Alan Turing law". The Alan Turing law is now an informal term for the law in the United Kingdom, contained in the Policing and Crime Act 2017, which serves as an amnesty law to retroactively pardon men who were cautioned or convicted under historical legislation that outlawed homosexual acts. The law applies in England and Wales.

I’m sure this one will attract the terfs like flies but I’m gonna say it anyway cuz I haven’t heard anyone express or discuss this exact take but here goes:
‘biological sex’ categories are just modern day phrenology
Like first off it’s based around the idea that someone’s ’biological sex’ is dependent on the convergence of multiple factors I.e chromosomes, hormone levels, genitalia, etc. But the idea that any of these indicators are inherent to the ‘biological sex’ they are attributed to is disproven by both intersex people and trans people. I.e Many cisgender women are born with a Y chromosome. Trans women with so called ‘male’ physiology can develop breast tissue and estrogen levels on par with someone with ‘female’ physiology.
Now the existence of these traits and the effects on the body is verifiable if disputable, but the modern idea of sex involves the assumption that these physical traits are indicative of someone’s character or capabilities. (i.e high testosterone means someone is more aggressive, high estrogen prevents high levels of physical achievement etc.)
How is this any different from assuming someone’s skull shape says anything about their intelligence?
And the fact that the modern ideas of what it means to be ‘biologically male’ or ‘biologically female’ were formed through deeply racist and violent phrenological research kind of supports this fact. So why do we assume these value assertions about individuals because of their physical traits are in fact true when the others are clearly false (obvs not everyone does think that sadly but generally speaking phrenology is scientifically discredited)
So when people claim we need to acknowledge the ‘biological reality’ of sex, both disingenuously and sincere,
do we though???
Yes we need to acknowledge the fact of generalised physical differences between people but I think we should question the idea that these physical differences indicate anything about a person’s personality, behaviour or capabilities and the validity of ‘sexual categories’ especially.
Side note: if this is like the stalest possible take in intersex discourse I apologise, I am merely a humble perisex trans woman who has engaged in way too many arguments with my increasingly right wing mother about imane khelif over the past few days and thought I should share my thoughts. Y’all are awesome and people should listen to your takes on sex and gender more often 🫶

#grownwomantypebeat
_You’ve officially entered your grown woman body era. It’s literally like you’ve undergone a second puberty. You have the body of a thick, curvy, mature woman over the age of 25, especially one that has given birth as you possess post childbirth hips. You got a fully-figured, busty, fully-developed, curvy, thick semi-pear shaped body that grows curvier and thicker with every breath you take. You have a milf, hentai, post-childbirth-like body. You always receive compliments on your thick, busty body and every1 wants to have a body like you, but it’s simply impossible because it’s all DNA and genetics frfr. You’ve always been thick but you’ve gotten so much thicker that it’s nearly impossible to fit into your old shirts and pants anymore; your skirts even rise when you walk. You’re gaining weight in all the right areas, especially your breasts, butt, hips, thighs, and calves. You store specifically subcutaneous fat, which is fat directly beneath the skin. You have a higher body fat percentage and a lower muscle mass percentage. You don’t have any visible bone or muscle definition seen through your skin; this is because you have a juicy, plump, soft, squishy, cushioned, plush, pillow-like body. You’re immune to looking bony or sharp and only capable of looking thick, plump, soft and curvy. Your body has fully developed and your breasts, hips, butt, and thighs are filled with so much muscle, fat and tissue. You have increased body fat deposits as you’re producing perfect, healthy amounts of estrogen that resulted in you receiving a curvy, thick body naturally, encouraging more body fat deposition! Calories, fat, and weight are heavily migrated in your breasts, butt, hips, thighs, and calves. Every molecule of fat you consume goes straight to your breasts, butt, hips, thighs and other desired places. You have 1111 pounds of fat in your breasts, butt, hips, and thighs. You've gained immense amounts of desired fat everywhere on your body except for your abdominal area. Your body is so thick and fleshy that bone definition is nowhere to be seen (except in your abdominal area); almost like Ice Spice. The fat cells in your butt, breasts, hips and thighs are rapidly multiplying and growing at uncontrollable rates. Your body is programmed to store fat only in your butt, breasts, hips, thighs and other desired areas. You gain weight without having to eat or workout at all, it is what it is.
_You have massive, rounded, tear-drop shaped, full, protruding, plump, perky, lifted, symmetrical, balanced, harmonical, proportional, close-set and attractive breasts. They’re so humongous that they practically spill out of any bras you wear, breaking the straps. So massive that they almost touch your laps yet remain so uplifted. You got anime-like tiddies that move with video game jiggle physics. Your breasts jiggle and bounce with every slight movement you make. It’s hard to ignore ‘em cause they bounce with every step you take. If you were to fall, they’d cushion and protect you. Your breasts have that push-up bra effect because there’s a natural cleavage present and they’re extremely close-set. People always think you wearing a bra cause they sit up so nicely. When people talk 2 you it’s hard not to look down; they’re so eye-catching. Like JT in Baggin (My titties perfect, they plastic), you got mfs thinking your breasts are fake with the way they sit so pretty effortlessly.
+ increase breast width, diameter, projection and volume
+ have insane amounts of breast tissue
+ have high breast projection from the chest wall
+ breasts, nipples and areolas taste good af
_Your butt is the epitome of the words uplifted, full, plump, jiggly, soft, juicy, perky, squishy, plush-like, fat, oversized, round, peachy, heart-shaped, shelf, colossal, puffy, huge, slappable, grabbable, humongous, gigantic, vast, enormous, massive, overgrown, cakey, thick, heavy, obese, inflated, protruding, ginormous, and ridiculously-large. You have a ginormous, thick, fat, booty that claps jiggles, wiggles, and bounces even in the thickest denim jeans. Your butt sits up and is so round making it embody the definition of “bubble butt”. Your butt is so jiggly like jello. You have jello-like cheeks that bounce, wiggle, jiggle, and ripple resembling ocean waves, even with even the slightest movements; like Ari Fletcher. Because your butt is just 2 big, you have deep, prominent, curved, under-cheek creases like Rubi Rose & Ice Spice (ex. https://www.instagram.com/p/CyU1hBguTbw/?igsh=MWhoY2g1Zm1hejg1dg== & https://www.instagram.com/p/CiqLMxJv_q7/?igsh=YWp5bmR6ZG5nN3Fp) Your gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus are so big and oversized; it looks like you’ve been doing exercises targeting the butt foreva. Your booty is literally way too big, fat, thick, and chunky to fit in your jeans or underwear; practically ripping every article of clothing you attempt to wear. Your buttcheeks are so big that your lips down there are hidden behind them. Each booty cheek weighs 1111 pounds; it lowkey deserves separate seats for each. You have exponentially multiplying fat cells in each of your butt cheeks, Your ass is noticeable and sexy from the front, back and side view; doing whole 360s in this bitch! When you walk past mfs, they be thinking *damnnn ha ass is fat*. Mfs can’t help but say “gyat damnnn” whenever you walk by. You have the perfect shelf booty that pokes out from the side, taking the shape of a capital letter ‘P’.
_Your hips are so wide it seems like you’re sitting down while standing up. Because your hips are so wide, you struggle to walk through doorways and you can’t even pull up yo pants. Your hips look as if they’ve been drawn by a manga artist. You have rounded, wide, broad, vast, curvy, padded, fleshy and expanded hips. You have broad, post child-birth hips in the best way possible. You got a low, wide lip flare that compliments your body. Your hips are so wide you can’t even wrap a measuring tape ‘round it. Mfs know you have a big butt as they can see it from the front because of your wide hips. Your hips are significantly wider than your shoulders; it almost looks fake. You have thick layers of fat and flesh on your hips; decreasing the muscle and bone definition and completely filling out hip-dips (if any). You have expanded and evenly distributed fat/tissue deposits and fat/tissue pads on the sides of your hips. You have plumped, wide, jumbo-sized, curvy, round, poking-out hips and an extremely fleshy lower body in general. Your cute, expanded, padded, plush, pushed outwards, inflated, plump, curved, round, obese, wide, smooth, fresh, protruding, feminine, maximized, swollen, broad, and fatty saddlebags (side butt) add to your curvy hips appearance and are heavily accentuated by your bone structure.
+ trochanters that are significantly wider than the ilium
+ have have hyper-wide, broad, trochanters
+ low-placed, low-seated, narrow ilium

I think I might be intersex? I'd kill for your opinion. I was born with a penis but had surgery as a baby (I'm to understand it was falling into my body) and it's always resided internally in its own cavity. I've heard of intersex folks that have an identical situation, any adivce/thoughts? I've been at a loss with this (and doctors don't take you seriously when you're overweight so they've been no help).
Hi anon! Sorry it took so long to answer.
I'm sorry you've been having to deal with discrimination from doctors--that's so messed up and you deserve better.
The first thing that comes to mind for me is that might have been a sign of hypospadias or epispadias, and that the surgery you had as a child might have been hypospadias or epispadias repair. Hypospadias is a condition where the urethra is located on the underside of the penis, and epispadias is when the urethra doesn't develop into a full tube and is located in a different place on the penis. A lot of times, hypospadias and epispadias also come along with congenital chordee, which means that the penis is curved and bent in a different direction due to bands of fibrous tissue. Undescended testicles (cryptorchidism) are also often associated with them. Hypospadias and epispadias are both considered intersex variations. I'm not too sure what that aftermath of that surgery looks like or potential complications as an adult, but that's something that really comes to mind to me as a possibility for you.
Another possibility might be Penoscrotal Transposition, which is a variation where people's penis is located below or in the middle of the scrotum. I'm less familiar with what surgery looks like for that, or what the possible after effects might be.
There are also several different intersex variations that could cause different genital configuration, but those would be probably less likely unless you also had more symptoms like growing breasts during puberty, micropenis, infertility, or other signs of estrogen based puberty.
I hope some of that might be relevant, and if any followers have any other suggestions please add on! (As always, disclaimer that we can't diagnose or provide medical advice.)

hello i am not anon i hope that's ok
i have been doing research on using SERMs in an hrt regimen so u get e with no tits. They're originally breast cancer meds, and they selectively inhibit E receptors in breast tissue, but I've never heard of anyone trying this, so I'm going a bit blind. There is 0 literature on how they affect amab ppl but very much on how they selectively inhibit or amplify e's effect on every organ that is not balls, so I've hit a road block. Do u know if e receptors in ppls uteri and testis are the same? I think they are, and if so most SERMs would actually prevent estrogen from suppressing T production, but idfk man I didn't sleep last night and am realizing i have no idea what mechanism makes E suppress T.
this is turning out to be a lot of work for someone who acknowledges they're probably gonna want tits anyway and just need an excuse to start, but it's been shockingly easy so far. Might as well hit the books and figure out the last 10%
oh and all the usual suspects have this stuff in stock for cheap. I've compounded stuff insurance refused to pay for in the past to save money, but it's a pain. one I am glad to avoid this time.
mandatory disclaimer this is not medical advice and also entirely legal
u mightve sent this to the wrong person but good luck to u on ur journey nonetheless!!

Breast Increase Oil and Its Impact on Skin Elasticity
In the quest for enhancing physical appearance, breast increase oils have garnered significant attention. These oils are marketed with claims of promoting breast enlargement and improving skin elasticity, making them appealing to those seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures. This article delves into the potential effects of breast increase oils on skin elasticity and overall breast appearance, exploring the ingredients commonly found in these products, their purported benefits, and the scientific basis behind these claims.
Ingredients Commonly Found in Breast Increase Oils
Breast increase oils typically contain a blend of natural ingredients known for their skin-nourishing properties. Some of the most common components include:
Fenugreek Extract: Known for its phytoestrogen content, fenugreek is believed to mimic estrogen, a hormone crucial for breast development.
Fennel Seed Oil: Fennel seeds are also rich in phytoestrogens, which can potentially stimulate breast tissue growth.
Pueraria Mirifica: This herb is native to Thailand and contains miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, compounds with estrogen-like effects.
Wild Yam Extract: Often used in traditional medicine, wild yam is thought to support hormonal balance and breast tissue growth.
Vitamin E: Known for its skin-nourishing properties, vitamin E can help maintain skin elasticity and hydration.
Essential Oils: Oils such as lavender, tea tree, and almond oil are added for their moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits.
The Science Behind Breast Increase Oils
While anecdotal evidence and traditional medicine support the use of these oils, scientific research on their efficacy is limited. The primary mechanism by which these oils are believed to work is through the action of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that can mimic estrogen in the body, potentially promoting the growth of breast tissue.
Impact on Skin Elasticity
One of the significant claims of breast increase oils is their ability to improve skin elasticity. Skin elasticity is crucial for maintaining the firmness and youthful appearance of the breasts. Here are some ways in which breast increase oils may impact skin elasticity:
Hydration: Many breast increase oils contain hydrating ingredients like almond oil, vitamin E, and essential oils. These components can help keep the skin moisturized, which is essential for maintaining elasticity.
Collagen Production: Ingredients such as vitamin E and certain essential oils are known to promote collagen production. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. Enhanced collagen production can lead to firmer, more elastic skin.
Antioxidant Properties: Many of the herbs and oils used in breast increase products have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can degrade collagen and elastin fibers, leading to reduced skin elasticity.
Improved Circulation: Massaging breast increase oils into the skin can improve blood circulation in the breast area. Better circulation ensures that the skin receives adequate nutrients and oxygen, promoting healthy, elastic skin.
Usage and Application
To potentially benefit from breast increase oils, it is essential to use them correctly. Here are some tips for effective application:
Consistency: Regular and consistent use is crucial. Apply the oil daily, preferably after a shower when the skin is more receptive to absorbing the nutrients.
Massage: Gently massage the oil into the breast area in a circular motion. This not only helps with absorption but also promotes better blood circulation.
Patch Test: Before using any new product, perform a patch test to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While breast increase oils are generally considered safe, it is essential to be aware of potential risks and considerations:
Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to certain ingredients. Conduct a patch test before applying the oil to a larger area.
Hormonal Effects: Due to the presence of phytoestrogens, individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions should consult a healthcare professional before using these products.
Realistic Expectations: Understand that results can vary, and the effectiveness of these oils is not guaranteed. Combining their use with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, may yield better results.
Conclusion
Breast increase oils offer a non-invasive option for those seeking to enhance breast size and improve skin elasticity. While the scientific evidence supporting their efficacy is limited, the ingredients used in these oils have properties that can benefit skin health. By understanding the potential benefits and risks, individuals can make informed decisions about incorporating breast increase oils into their beauty regimen. As with any cosmetic product, patience and consistency are key to seeing potential results.

Published: Jun 12, 2024
In the United States, we don’t often hear about the young male refugees from genderism who have an artificial “neo-vagina” in their pubic area instead of a penis.
Newspaper articles regularly profile young women such as Chloe Cole, Prisha Mosley, and Camille Kiefel who lost their breasts to medical malpractice and have since brought suit, but you don’t often hear about the castrated men. Photos of Michelle Alleva’s scarred chest regularly show up on my X timeline, but for obvious reasons, regretful men don’t usually share pictures of their intimate body parts post-surgery.
On June 4, 2024, Prisha announced via X that she’d given birth to a son. While the world empathizes with her grief that she’ll never be able to enjoy breastfeeding her baby, we share her relief that “gender-affirming care” didn’t destroy her fertility. Prisha’s story mingles feelings of regret and triumph, of loss and joy—an ultimately uplifting tale of healthy motherhood and a new life.
In short, Prisha may have taken a detour into genderism and suffered a poignant loss, but now she’s back on track and able to enjoy a loving relationship with her baby.
For the men in my practice who faced up, too late, to being gay, there’s no going back. Going forward (what’s deceptively referred to as “transition”) turned out to be an illusion, but how do they “go back”—that is, take up the life of a gay man when they no longer have a penis?
Warning: the following descriptions might make some readers deeply uncomfortable. I advise them to keep reading and I promise to keep disturbing details to a minimum.
In the surgical procedure known as a “penile inversion vaginoplasty” (PIV), a man’s penis is sliced open and used (sometimes along with scrotal tissue) to line an artificial cavity created in the pubic area. Typically referred to as a neo-vagina, it’s a surgically-created wound which must be regularly dilated to prevent the body from trying to heal it—that is, to close it up because the body senses that it doesn’t belong there. In addition to penile skin grafts, intestinal tissue may sometimes be used to line the neo-vagina. During the operation, surgeons relocate the prostate away from its normal position below the bladder and in front of the rectum.
The operation is irreversible, obviously, just as a double mastectomy can’t be undone. Prisha can’t recover her healthy breasts, and my male clients will never again have a functioning penis.
Administration of cross-sex hormones is part of the usual protocol for men undergoing PIV, both pre- and post-op; among the side-effects are brain fog, and sometimes a complete loss of or profound diminishment in sexual desire. In some cases, the surgically created neo-vagina is too small for penetrative sex; for others, such sex is painful or unsatisfying.
In short, for many gay men, so-called “gender affirming care” has deprived them of a satisfying sex life. I acknowledge that not all men with a neo-vagina report the same dissatisfaction, but I haven’t seen them in my practice.
To combat the brain fog associated with estrogen, some male clients try adding a small dose of testosterone to their hormone regime. The effects can be troubling. One client felt simultaneously aroused and perturbed: while the nerves from his former penis had been preserved during surgery, they were no longer “where they were supposed to be,” as he put it. Another suffered from “phantom penis syndrome,” a condition akin to phantom limb syndrome where the person experiences hallucinatory sensations of a lost body part. A third felt intense desire to take part in receptive anal intercourse, only to find it painful (due to a post-op fistula) and unstimulating because his prostate had been relocated away from the rectal area. For these men, achieving orgasm is quite difficult and often leads to painful after-sensations in the genital area.
The idea of anal intercourse between two men makes some readers uncomfortable, and I believe that’s an additional reason why we hear so little about the male victims of genderism. Members of the public with conservative religious views who regard homosexuality as a sin will naturally find it hard to empathize. Straight females such as Laura Becker who lost their breasts to medical malpractice earn public sympathy and acclaim, but the plight of post-operative gay men is largely met with silence.
In the United Kingdom, gay man Ritchie Herron has spoken with feeling about his loss of sexual function post PIV. In a poignant X thread from 2022, he says:
I have no sensation in my crotch region at all. No one told me that the base of your penis is left, it can’t be removed – meaning you’re left with a literal stump inside that twitches. When you take Testosterone and your libido returns, you wake up with morning wood, without the tree. And if you do take testosterone after being post op, you run the risk of internal hair in the neo-vagina. Imagine dealing with internal hair growth after everything? What a choice … be healthy on Testosterone and a freak, or remain a sexless eunuch. And thats something that will never come back …
For the full horror of what it means to be caught in this nightmarish limbo, read the complete and powerful thread.
Realizing post-surgery that you’re actually a gay man means you’re caught in an impossible space. You learned, too late, that so-called “transition” is a lie, but the full-spectrum life of a gay man is foreclosed to you. You’re unlikely to have a satisfying relationship with another gay man because, to be frank, gay men are attracted to male bodies that have penises, full stop, despite what the genderists will tell you. If you do try to date, your options have narrowed. As one of my clients puts it, your dating pool usually shrinks down to “chasers”—that is, men who will seek out and fetishize you, often reducing you to your anatomy rather than seeing you as whole person.
Psychotherapy with these men means sitting with them in a complex and deeply painful place, what I’ve called an impossible space, sharing the grief of immense loss without succumbing to despair. As with anyone who has ever experienced a profound and irremediable loss, my clients must nonetheless pursue a meaningful existence and find creative ways to feel good about themselves. It’s my job is to help them as best I can. I often find that sitting with them in their pain without minimizing it is what helps the most.
In a way, Prisha’s story is a classic tale of triumph over adversity, of new life beyond a death cult. This is the kind of story the public enjoys, and it’s one of the main reasons she and other young women in her position receive so much attention. The gay men in my practice have a far less satisfying and more complex story to tell, and one I fear the public has limited interest in hearing.

this might sound silly but is it normal to get breast pain when taking contraceptives?
Hi Anon,
Not silly at all. Yes, breast pain (technical name: mastalgia) is absolutely a potential side effect of hormonal birth control, especially estrogen-containing BC. It's the same underlying physiology that causes cyclical breast pain (related to menses).
Increased levels of estrogen and progesterone, whether in BC or in the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle, cause the glandular tissues to swell, which can cause some discomfort. It's NOT a sign of underlying disease.
If the pain does not resolve after you've been in the BC for a little while, you can talk to your provider about switching BC formulations - different pills have different kinds of progestin in them, which can have different side effect profiles.

Different Categories of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is when guys grow big breasts. It's quite common, happening to males of all ages. But did you know there are different types? Let's make it simple:
True Gynecomastia: This happens when there's more breast tissue. It's because of hormone imbalances, like having too much female hormone (estrogen) and too little male hormone (testosterone). It can start when you're a baby, during puberty, or later. Not just from (Gynecomastia Surgery in Delhi) having too much fat.
Pseudogynecomastia: This is when you look like you have big breasts because of extra fat in your chest. It's common in overweight guys. But it's not the same as having more breast tissue. You can make it better by eating healthier and exercising.
Adolescent Gynecomastia: During puberty, some guys get temporary big breasts because of hormone changes. It usually goes away by itself within a few months or a couple of years. It can be worrying, but it's usually normal.
Adult Gynecomastia: Even grown-up men can get gynecomastia. It might be from hormone problems, certain meds, or health issues. Sometimes, it sticks around and needs treatment.
Unilateral Gynecomastia: Sometimes, only one breast gets bigger. It's called unilateral gynecomastia. It's often harmless, but if you notice any changes, it's good to see a doctor.
Bilateral Gynecomastia: Both breasts can get bigger, which is the most common type. It can happen at any age and might be linked to hormones, meds, or health problems.
Drug-Induced Gynecomastia: Some meds and drugs can cause gynecomastia as a (Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in Delhi) side effect. It includes drugs for prostate issues, heartburn, mental health, and cancer treatments. If you're taking meds and notice breast changes, tell your doctor.
Physiologic Gynecomastia: Sometimes, breast growth happens because of normal body changes. It can happen when you're a baby, during puberty, or as you get older. It might be concerning, but it's often just a natural part of growing up or getting older.

Saw a fear mongering post saying you wanted to mandate transition out of existence and that you believe it’s never the right decision- I didn’t recall you had said any of that but wanted to ask you sorry if it sounds wild
I've never said that, in fact I think I've generally said the opposite. I think when it comes to elective medicine, ultimately for adults (fully capable adults) they need to be as informed as possible, and if they believe to the best of their knowledge that the medicine they're electing to adopt is providing them a better psychological existence, I believe that they have the bodily autonomy to do so and should have that bodily autonomy protected, regardless of whether I or anyone thinks it's the healthiest choice. In simpler words, I would rather someone get a nose job than kill themselves.
That doesn't mean I think everyone is fully informed, or that doctor's can't lead their patients astray, or that we can't be critical of well accepted medicine, or that even if someone is to the point that they would rather die than not get their "nose fixed" that the nose job is the only solution or a long term solution (because it isn't).
When it comes to transition, I'm extremely skeptical and critical of what doctors and surgeons are suggesting to their patients, and I don't believe most people seeking surgery are as informed as they should be. Generally speaking, I think the majority of the population is rather scientifically and medically illiterate (which is not a moral judgement, a value judgement, or a judgement on their character or intelligence). For many examples: The idea that a "neo-vagina" is in every single way the same as an actually vagina or vulva is obviously and clearly false. The idea that removing your breasts will definitely lift your dysphoria or solve it or fix it or heal it or whatever other word you want to use is clearly false. The ideas being pushed online and accepted by doctors that breasts are "useless" or the uterus is "useless" without a gender identity (rather than them being parts of a functioning whole physical body regardless of any identity) is malicious. Ultimately, if a woman wanted to get her breasts removed, I would hope you would fully understand that the procedure is irreversible, is in fact removing healthy tissue, and understands that this is likely not a long term solution to her psychological needs. I'm skeptical this is most cases for this surgery or really any gender transitioning surgery. Including hormone therapy as well which from my albeit limited research, the research into the effects of that seems unsubstantial and underwhelming. Do we really know the effects that life-long estrogen shots will have in 20-30 years for a 20 year old male who also gets their jaw bone shaved down, or are we rolling the dice with them? It makes me sad to think what could be potential side-effects we're ignoring at the moment.
When it comes to superficial transition, for example clothing and adopting mannerisms, you can't be against it without thinking there's a way to be a man or a way to be a woman, and I don't. I don't have a problem with gender non-conformity. I do think people are categorically wrong to believe they are biologically male or female based on their gender performance, but they're just wrong and people can be wrong about things. What's worrisome is when people are pushing policy changes based on demonstrable falsehoods, especially if they're harmful to women, but when it comes to any one person's individual public presentation...that's not my business. Do people leverage gender presentation to gain access to vulnerable people? Yes, but also some people are minding their business.

hey not to sound rude i promise im just curious for personal reasons but do you have any sources for the stuff about cyproterone?
Brain tumor(sorry, i misremembered it as brain cancer, but non-cancerous tumors in your brain are also bad for you, because your skull is inflexible):
There's an article on transfemscience about it
CPA progestin risks:
CPA (and Spiro) is a progestin, so it has some of the same effects as basically all chemicals of this class, including:
Prolactinoma and potentially other forms of brain tumor (talking to Lena from Ukraine recently about progestins)
Potentially stopping growth of certain types of breast tissue (various, including previously mentioned conversion with lena, ive never bothered to try and find a scientific explanation for this, see conclusion)
Also its published side effects
Anyway, cypro, and all other blockers(I've not looked into buserelin), are more expensive than estrogen and carry non-zero risk, so there's basically no reason to be taking them unless you just want to stress out your liver and kidneys.

Top 4 Breast Enlargement Pill Brands Today
Women in search of an alternative to breast enlargement surgery are trying herbal pills today, often without realizing that there may be little-to-no evidence about the safety of breast enhancement pills.
Most websites selling natural breast enhancement pills do not list any potential risks. Natural breast enlargement pills are sold on the Internet, on television, and in women's magazines. Some of the products focus on women's insecurities about their breasts, particularly after childbirth, weight loss, and the removal of breast implants.
Bigger, Beautifully-Shaped Breasts Make Women Feel More Attractive
It is no secret today that enhanced, and beautifully-shaped breasts help make women feel more attractive and confident. The art of breast enhancement at present can be done naturally and also through surgery.
However, due to concerns about the side effects that are caused by surgical breast enlargement procedures and breast augmentation, women are starting to prefer natural breast enhancement methods. Among these methods include increasing breast sizes with breast-enhancing creams, pills, and exercises.
The present trend also shows that more and more women are benefiting from breast enhancement pills & creams to enlarge and enhance their breasts. The pill and cream combinations work wonders in increasing breast size without going through risky surgeries or using hormonal methods.
Are Breast Enlargement Pills Safe?
However, if natural breast enlargement pills do work, there is little, or no evidence, that they're 100% safe. If breast enlargement pills do have estrogen-like effects on the body, there are still some safety concerns left to ponder upon. Estrogen given on its own stimulates the growth of tissue in the uterus and is believed to promote uterine cancer, which is why birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy normally contain progesterone to counter estrogen's effects on the uterus.
While studies are still incomplete, there are questions about whether natural breast enhancement pills stimulate the growth of uterine tissue. There is also no evidence about whether natural breast enlargement pills interfere with fertility, menstruation, or the effectiveness of birth control pills.
Top 4 Breast Enhancement Supplements
Here are among the top breast enlargement supplements sold in pharmacies and online stores.
1. Bustmaxx Breast Enhancement Pills
Bustmaxx is one of the most trusted brands in natural breast enhancement. The manufacturers are known for a pharmaceutical-grade formula. The pills are made in an FDA-registered facility which ensures that strict US manufacturing standards have been complied with.
The formula includes powder made with saw palmetto berries, Fennel Seed, Blessed Thistle, Fenugreek Seed, Atlantic Kelp, and Don Quai root. These pills do not contain hormones, which makes them generally safer to use. However, these ingredients have an estrogen-like effect and can therefore help regulate female hormone levels and function.
The ingredients list is detailed and the extract rations are indicated so you know just how much of the active ingredients were utilized in the formulation. Unlike shady brands, Bustmaxx does not hide behind the “proprietary formula” excuse.
Things We Liked
Does not contain allergens such as gluten, dairy, soy
No artificial flavors and preservatives
Won’t cause unwanted weight gain
Transparent labeling
Things We Didn’t Like
Results can take a while to manifest for some people
Missing key ingredient Pueraria Mirifica
2. Total Curve
The total curve typically offers breast enhancement products as a package. Total curve capsules are meant to be used with the brand’s firming gel.
The capsules’ primary ingredient is rutin which is sourced from buckwheat flowers. This substance helps boost collagen production, which results in firmer and in some cases, larger breasts. However, it should be noted that when you stop taking this, which therefore stops the boost in collagen production, your breasts will eventually go back to the way they were.
For better results, Total Curve recommends their firming gel which contains sarsasapogenin, a compound that boosts the formation of fatty tissue, which is the kind of tissue needed for bigger and firmer breasts.
Things We Liked
Promotes overall breast health
Makes breasts look and feel firmer
Things We Didn’t Like
The results are temporary so continuous usage is needed
Missing key ingredient Pueraria Mirifica
3. Breast Actives
This brand is actually more like a system than a single product. It makes use of a three-step system – a pill, a cream, and toning exercises. The manufacturer claims to offer the best results and considering the list of ingredients, it’s not surprising.
The pill’s active ingredients include fenugreek seed, fennel seed, Dong Quai root, blessed thistle, Dandelion root, Kelp, and watercress.
The cream’s active ingredient is P Mirifica but if you’re looking to just get the pill, you won’t be able to benefit from it.
Things We Liked
Boosts overall breast health
Combats sagging
Things We Didn’t Like
Needs multiple doses per day
Needs toning exercises
Takes 2 months for results to be noticeable
4. Breast Max Plus
This is a high-strength all-natural breast enhancement pill that the brand claims to help make breasts look and feel fuller. The main active ingredient for Breast Max Plus’ formulation is Fenugreek extract, which is known for its estrogenic effects. This is why it’s traditionally used to support female reproductive function, manage menopause, enhance milk production, and enlarge breasts.
This pill also contains another phytoestrogen source – dandelion root. Other ingredients include Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, and powder from kelp, Dong Quai root, blessed thistle, and watercress.
Things We Liked
The formula boosts overall health
Anti-aging properties brought by other ingredients work together to maintain vitality
Things We Didn’t Like
Multiple products needed
Takes a while to see the results
Missing a dose could negate weeks of use
Keep in mind that all of these pills should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Always consult your doctor before taking anything.
CAUTION: Now I need you to pay very close attention to this
We all have enough “Estrogen” in our bodies to make our breasts grow 10 cup sizes if we wanted.
What makes breasts grow are your hormones (not just estrogen) which means you can grow your breasts naturally by eating certain types of foods which increases hormone levels in your body.
But for this to be successful, don’t just raise your hormone levels. Raise certain hormones at a certain time of your menstrual cycle.
Let me explain:
When you go through your menstrual cycle, your body raises certain hormones during the cycle.
So when your body raises estrogen, you need to eat foods that increase estrogen levels in your body and when your body raises progesterone levels, then eat foods that increase progesterone in your body.
Here is a video that explains it better than I can.
It can take at least 2 months to show results by doing it this way. It’s like going to the gym, changing your body takes time as your body needs to process all the changes.
