In my journey I have noticed that most people will readily ignore other cues if they believe the person they are viewing has real breasts.  As I thought about this I realized that is why women who undergo the brutal process of radical mastectomy feel so devastated and less feminine.  It is also the reason I am working toward my own real breasts.  That said, although they would help me “pass” that is not the reason for me.  Having them would make ME feel more feminine and are a very clear, visible, statement that I am not going through a phase.
