Reply To: Would breast implants make it easier to pass?

[Dana Munson]

I share your longing for real breasts of my own – it’s a gender-confirming thing for me (“others’ mileage may vary,” as they say). Thought I would be stuck with the implant route, due to typical HRT restrictions on someone my age (69). But since my endo said I could probably start on estrogen next year (after may half a year of blockers), it’s “real breasts or bust” (pun intended).  BUT . . . “make it easier to pass”? Only with respect to certain types of revealing clothing. DeeAnn’s right, I think: passing involves a lot more than having real boobies. Good breast forms, whilst not the ideal, certainly work in almost all day-to-day situations (I personally am not in a hot rush to don a bikini or low-cut party dress!). As important as they may be as an ultimate goal for many of us, having real breasts is not nearly at the top of the list of things necessary to being successful as an everyday woman.
