When I first started my NBE journey, I was posting pictures every week or two displaying my progress (or lack there of). I still post pictures, but there has been a change. You may have noticed, or may not. I didn't even, really.

I've become rather modest about displaying my breasts.

Maybe modest isn't the right word, but they have been much more socially conservative. And, I'm ok with that.

I've noticed that trend with those that have transitioned. It could be a change of perspective of how you view yourself and how you want others to view you. Whatever it is, I don't see it as a bad thing. Thanks for sharing your observation. I hope that others in similar situations will weigh in their thoughts on the subject matter as well.

All I can think of to say is "no fair!".

It is part of the reason I haven't updated my pics in a long time. If I do update my pic page, it likely won't be a naked pic.

Yeah, I'm done posting my bare boobs. I debated my last growth progress pictures, but decided to go one last time for the benefit of others who are trying to make a go of it.

Going full-time and changing my legal name means that I am just me now, not two separate persons. Everything I do now reflects on me in the eyes of others.

My ultimate goal is to integrate into the cisworld as just another woman. Oh sure, there will always be people who know I'm trans, and I'm not going to get nuts about being stealth, but I see no reason to advertise it.

I'm in transition, and moving ahead quickly. Many of my trans friends are stuck in low gear or are not moving at all. I have no choice but to leave them behind. It's all very bitter-sweet, but we all disembark from the trans express at our own chosen destinations.

Well said, and very true, and at our own speed ..

Er... because real women never show their breasts?

Each their own, of course. For me, I'll stop posting pictures when they stop growing. I put my thread -- program, experience, photos -- out there in the interest of science, so I feel I'd be doing a disservice if I quit.

I'm also not under any illusion that there's some magic line somewhere I might cross over and become a different person. I'm me; always have been, always will be... no matter what I do or how I look.

That is a... staggering... statement. It sounds... well....

I have a wide variety of friends on the (for lack of a better phrase) T* spectrum -- gender queer/fluid, semi-annual crossdressers, weekend warriors, non-ops, transitioners, post-ops, drag queens, and even a shemale porn star. Yes, real-life local friends, not social media "friends".

Everyone is where they are, and it's their own responsibility to be happy with it. I wouldn't dream of judging any of them based on my little spot on the spectrum as a yardstick. I don't consider myself to be "ahead" or "behind" anyone!

I believe myself to be fairly well adjusted in my little space... I've learned to not envy others' seeming perfection, in a grass-always-greener fashion. The post-op and the occasional crossdresser probably envy each other's lives for their own reasons. It's just pointless to want someone else's life.

But leaving people behind because they don't share your exact ambitions? Good luck keeping friends with an attitude like that!

I get the feeling that the only reason they were "friends" is because they shared that singular ambition. In which case, it makes perfect sense that as that shared ambition changed, the relationship ended. Of course, it doesn't sound like a friendship to begin with, but that's my best guess. It's like people I meet at college and we kind of are friends, but only as long as we have a class together. Once you take away that, we stop talking. More acquaintances than friends, because I never had much in common with them to begin with.

As for the topic, I'm not shy online, so I'll show mine whenever I like. Even irl, if women want to see then I'll show them. I'm the same person as I've always been,so....

I don't think I'll change much personality wise after SRS either. Lol to each their own. I will say that Showing them to a guy gives me a really exciting feeling now. Lmao

Good point. I suppose I was using my own definition of "friend" when I read that.

A friend will help you move. A true friend will help you move a body!

As far as baring them... I do hang around a number of pagans and polyamorous types, so I don't find nudity bothersome in the slightest. I wasn't raised that way, to be sure, but I can see where people would get a hangup about it.
