You are so lucky to have a supportive and understanding wife 

Indeed, it is a great thing. We have talked about this happening for the past 15 years or so...

I to just wanted breasts. I like my male parts and want to keep them as well as being able to perform. I am very lucky to have a supportive wife. With that I had breast augmentation December 5th 2023. I have no desire to transition. I like wearing bras. But I dress as a male and have no desire to dress as a women. The reason I did not go the estrogen rout was to keep everything working. Just my 2 cents

Good 2 cents I believe.

My story is. Bit complex but ill try to shorten it down. 

...Well, I tried to transition when I was 18-19 years old and didn't get far about a year  or two. It was diy and was hormonal and social transition  but due to circumstances and threats of violence and some close assaults by people (not every interaction with the public was bad though) and i looked a lot more androgynous than i do now. and fear my parents and my community rejecting me word spreads really fest here as everyone's close knit aswell as the fact my friends wouldn't have supported it I ended up stopping it. 

I went 14 years without any hrt in my system, almost ended up in rehab and so now I NEED to start again but I'm in a different place in my life than when I was at 19 and due to the climate in my country, the growing hostility and bills bieng made to take away rights and also i pribably wont pass and just cos I want to and can't be bothered anymore with social transition, im just going to hormonally transition while staying male ie I would like to make my body as feminized as possible ie having breasts, having a butt l, a narrow waist ,no facial hair my eyebrows done, maybe facial feminisation if I have the money for it
(I doubt that that wull ever happen at this rate) and androgynous voice training later on down the line while staying male....so yes I'm a genetic male staying in the male social role indefinitely, possibly forever, and im %100 okay with that. But gender wise I'm definitely not male but im fine with bieng called a guy cos thats what I'll be presenting as.Do I count as a male staying male? Am I valid and can I stay on this board?

: Let's keep it on target. It's not about being partially female, or hating on your own maleness. I am a man. I have breasts. I like them. I think men with breasts are hot. Not obese fat sacks, but regular men with breasts. Not Guys who do their nails, love to talk about bra shopping, or can't stand having erections. This really should not be the place for it. Manly Men with breasts who want to embrace and love their own bodies. That's why i'm here, and that's why i'm speaking up about it.  Keep the "i wish my penis would shrink away" stuff, for some other thread, PLEASE !!!    MALES STAYING MALES because they Love being Men.....

for me, it's not about crossdressing or full transitioning but about becoming someone having characteristics of both sexes. I've felt it my whole life both male and female lifestyles, roles and stereotypical behavior fit me well. I don't see it as necessarily a transgender thing – its rather about a physical manifestation of a state of mind. Like mixing physical features of things and I think it characterizes me well. I still dress and work as a man but have breast. I didn't want to use any of the HRT or other chemicals to do this so I have Breast Augmentation in March of this year. I love my breast and proud to have them. My wife says that you look normal now with your breasts.....Like you should of looked like. Here is a photo of 8 months Post-Op...

Thats some Amazing progress.....we all have different reasons for nbe, not everyone can or has the emotional strength to fully transition, some of us are cautious cos of where we live, some are just more comfortable presenting and living as male and social transition would take too much effort, some of us just want to be men with boobs and nothing esle,  because we like them. Some wanna have a mix and blend physical features, and yknow what???...all of them are perfectly %100 valid. Now What's the important commonality? We're all males staying male, regardless of what that reason may be. But this is just my opinion on the matter. And you may think I'm wrong and that's fine aswell.

It's also about being yourself, being happy with yourself, which is the most important thing. Have to love yourself and be happy.
