I’m ftm and I’ve been on T for years now but I still don’t have top surgery, mostly because my chest is small enough that I don’t have to bind. Sometimes people tell me that I could go shirtless in public but I don’t really believe that. What do u think??

I’ve seen cis guys with a chest like that, so I don’t think you’d stand out too much, but the way the government is rn it might be better to go shirtless in a more private place where you feel like someone wouldn’t try to start something if they suspected you were trans, if that’s makes sense

Your chest passes as a cis male chest. I don’t think people are going to notice but do what feels right to you

I’m looking for complete honesty here, I’m not trying to get a public indecency charge or anything. My nipples are much larger than a cis guy’s and pointier. Also just ignore my acne pls lmao

i really think you could pull that off! not just because of your chest size, but also due to the way T reshapes chest tissue over the course of several years the difference might not be super noticeable to you just looking in the mirror since the change is so gradual, but it’s really quite remarkable how we can get… like… non-surgically de-boobified lol

thanks for the reality check y’all! these shits have caused a lot of grief over the years so it’s weird to hear that they’re just a non-issue now. literally dented my ribs from binding and what for? oh well, time to hit the gym i guess and shape it up

tbh you just look like a dude, I wouldn't notice anything off of you were shirtless in public

yours look exactly like mine did pretransition, and I thought mine were small

I think the pointier thing just happens when you have small nips bc the height is the same but the area is smaller

i’ve got a friend who has a chest a little bigger than yours and he goes shirtless all the time. he’s gotten other gender affirming surgeries but never felt like getting top surgery. i think you’re good bro 👍
