Preface: I'm not going to mark this as NSFW as nothing in this post is particularly as such, apologies if you disagree.
Also, this is an entry from my journal, so how it's written may be slightly different from what you may read elsewhere on Lemmy. X
I mean, yeah, that's pretty much all this is going to say.
I'm wearing a bra.
Ordered 2x of these wireless small-cup bras from UNIQLO along with my new trousers (they're sort of a gray zig-zaggy pattern, high-waisted, soft material) for work (the trousers for work, not sure on the bras yet).
I ordered them now, rather early, as while my breast development hasn't properly engaged yet, my partner and I have both noticed a more prominent definition and shape in this region, and they're also beginning to hurt.
Honestly I was half expecting them not to fit, considering I still have my bulky masc frame, but they're not actually that bad, comfy even.
I still find it weird to look at, even when it isn't on me. When I wear one I try not to look at it too much, though seeing the straps go over my shoulders gives me some of the most euphoric feelings I've ever had.
To be honest, wearing this is full of euphoria.
I love how it feels on me, how it cups my chest, I love the straps behind me and over my shoulders. It's like this comfortable, soft pressure like a mini hug around my chest.
Not only that, but it does a lot in the passing department. The subtle profile change of my chest combined with the straps when they're visible genuinely push my perception over to the "female zone" when looking at myself in the mirror (though I am sure my three months on HRT is also helping in this regard).
And that's with warm yellow lighting too, not the usual soft-pink I like to use.
I don't want to take this off, ever.
I'm going to see how much it alters my profile with my work outfit, I'm not out at work yet, and I don't want to cause commotion. Hopefully, it's not too visible through my upper layers, and I can wear it all day.
thanks for sharing this! i love reading things like this because it makes me so happy to learn about others' euphoria and it gets me excited for my own next steps. that mini hug sounds so pleasant!
