I recently found this article in a little magazine called Scoopified (Winter 2023/24, No. 79).  It's the first print article I have seen which covers a subject so near and dear to our hearts:  "Why Are Guys Getting Boobs?" by Dr. Al Sears. 




Dr. Sears maintains that men consuming estrogen is a bad thing.  I wonder what he would think of us --we who are intentionally taking estrogen, phytoestrogen, and other products in order to intentionally feminize ourselves and grow boobs?



   





On a few points I do agree with the author:  When I read about all those male breast reduction surgeries--Owww!  [cringe].     Here are some gents who actually achieved boob growing success, and then they destroy it all!  So yes, I would be against that kind of procedure.  On another point, I do take progesterone with my estrogen.  I also agree that we should avoid highly processed foods, which is what I do whenever possible.





   





But I'm sorry Dr. Sears.  I happen to love my highly feminized body.   I love my boobs (I want them bigger) as well as my soft skin, shapely curves, new erogenous zones, and the many other health benefits I have experienced.  I will also report that several health problems I previously had have now gone away.  Feminization feels so good--so I will continue with my regimen. 





I'm wondering what the BN crowd thinks of this?

The best thing about HRT is that the estrogen is bio identical. With stuff like BO, at least it's a natural estrogen, whether it's human or not. With plants, it's a phyto estrogen, humans have evolved/adapted to not care too much about them or at least not die from them.

These chemical estrogens that are being put into the environment are called xenoestrogens. They are weird errant chemicals that, while not designed like an estrogen molecule, can often flick that cellular estrogen switch, the receptor. Problem is, sometimes it doesn't break right after use, maybe turning into free radicals that damage cellular organs and cell DNA. Sometimes it doesn't break at all. It hits that one cells estrogen receptor multiple times, either causing bad stuff like cancer or just the downregulation of E receptors, making your NBE regimen actually less effective. It varies based on the chemical, but it's almost never good to get your estrogens from the plastics and chemicals that have unfortunately become commonplace in society.

And also, some guys just don't want boobs. I'll never understand them fully, but that doesn't matter, I get feeling bad about your body, feeling that it's not living up to your ideal self. So yeah, I'm generally pretty against all of those environmental estrogens. We're better off without em.

Aria,

That's really good info!  The article doesn't distinguish between xenoestrogens (which I had never heard of) and bioidentical estrogen.  I assume that in our regimens we are using phyto and bioidentical estrogens, which you say are not especially harmful.  This changes the perspective on the subject.  Thank you!

(Phyto still isn't great btw it's just not usually poison. If there are especially poisonous phytoestrogens, we usually don't include them in our regimens. But I'm sure there are some like that. Kind of like how licorice root, while an AA, is also hard on the liver to the point of toxicity.)

I laughed out loud at "That's why so many men are now turned into women.". I think that this sentence alone is enough to take the license away from this doctor. Everyone here knows very well that eating a few steaks is not enough to turn you into a woman. (Unfortunately? I love mine thick and medium rare! Steaks, not women. I can't stand thick women. At least not mentally thick...). Also, estrogen alone doesn't turn you into a woman. A male taking estrogen, willingly or else, is not necessarily transgender and is not necessarily going to be transsexual.
If you google "Feminization of America" there is a lot of "literature" about how "the hidden State" are trying to feminize the USA to make it weaker. I am sure QAnon has a few pages on that subject. I think that the article you found would do really well at a MAGA rally.

Now this, 100% abso-fucking-lutely.

A man with hormone imbalance is still a man. That's such a bullshit sentence and its also transphobic, if not meant like that, then inderectly. Its like calling transsexual women men, and men with hormone imbalance women. Kinda punching both ways. Nasty and incorrect as can be. But this is what a lot of doctors are like, they're not free of biases, bigorty and stupid ideas. They're not better than general population in any way. Just as human. Also correct that being on HRT/NBE alone will not make anyone a woman in itself. Its really not that simple.

I would be really careful with articles like this, almost all of them are written with some sort of agenda in mind, a certain mindset and its almost never neutral or nice towards anybody.

Also Aria has a very good point about xenoestrogens, anything environmental fucking up hormone functions is big bad because hormones play such crucial role in our health and that should not be messed up with unless its necessary. Its especially messed up to cause body changes to people who are totally unwilling and not needing it and just get bad luck. Gynecomastia causes massive dysphoria and mental health problems to guys who don't want it.

Lucky those who got it going already and love it, obviously.
