"Absentmindedly", like it was an accident?
C-cups in a year?
Such nonsense, very 4chan.
Seems pretty small for a sterotypical overweight internet edge lord.
Might have started with B cups. Might be fake
Possible, I did that.
What has their weight to do with it? Really no reason to fat-shame! :(
For boobs? It helps. You never heard of fat boobs?
Sure, although in most trans women not as much that C cups would be seen as small.
Anyways, that's not what the other person was talking about. They used specifically "overweight" as a term to devaluate someone.
That's your interpretation. The context is getting large boobs in a year of hormone therapy. The other person said that the typical 4chaner edgelord is overweight and thus shouldn't be so hard to get bigger boobs in a year.
The devaluating part of the term is "edgelord", not "overweight", you are for some reason bringing fat shaming into the convo when it's about edgelord shaming of overweight people.
"Overweight" is a fat-shaming term in itself and it is loaded with social stigma and devaluation...
Overweight is descriptive of people that are over the healthy weight/fat in body range. It is proven that being over the healthy range has increased risks of having health complications.
I am overweight. If you have over 25% of fat in body, you are overweight. If you have over 30, you are obese. I am obese right now. Working on it.
If you want to load stigma into terms you do you, but I am not.
This is not true. It isn't any prove that people that weigh more than the "healthy" range are less healthy. That is just more stigma against fat people. Obesity as a concept is deeply intervowen with stigma.
I can recommend the podcast "Maintenance Phase", where the hosts tackle these misconceptions and the stigma with deep dives into the actual research. Most of the debate about health is just bullshit and more about normativity and power than it is about health.
I know people that induced themselves with type 2 diabetes because of their weight. Weight is directly related to heart disease issues and other freaking serious stuff.
None of the people of the podcast you recommended (a podcast instead of a scientific article when talking about actual health issues bruh) is a doctor or an actual medical researcher. There are several studies of reputable sources proving several of the issues listed in the following link.

I know that there's a lot of stigma from the fitness industry, but to say that there are no real issues from having too much fat in your body is crazy. No. You can dispute all you want but I wanted to at least write one response so people that come after have an actual source instead of a freaking podcast.
That overweight and obesity are terms that the fitness industry misuses to create stigma? Sure, but they are medical terms with actual meaning and are related to medical issues.
Overweight is an adjective. It is absolutely not a fat shaming term. As a former fat kid I can attest there are far worse terms than being called "overweight" and I'm genuinely curious why you have such an issue with a non-issue word?
I definitely tried to be as absent minded about it all for the first year. Mentally things happen fast. Physically, if you are waiting to actually see something you'll go crazy. You have to pretend like nothing unusual is going on and boom 3 or 4 months go by and you actually notice the difference. I can't be the only one that did this.
I had a friend who took a photo every day. Can confirm, she went crazy. She has a really cool timelapse now though, which she says was almost worth the inordinate amount of mental anguish she caused herself.
I felt like they were doing shit for the first few months, kept taking them but I'd sorta given up expectations, year in suddenly I realize I have boobs
Mind, I'm autistic, have ocd, and a generally chaotic irl, I am not claiming to he normal
C cups sound big but on a trans woman they might not be. I got C cups in 6 months and you wouldn't know it to look at me.
Six months? Damn, you're speedrunning shit. I got the same, 7 months in.
Rn 8 months. Maybe it's because of the band width being wider, so the fat is more spread out. I got 80C in my case, so it's just about visible.
trade me your awesome genes🙏😭
For real, I've been on E for over two years and I'm just barely past an A-cup.
The best indicators are to look at your parents and siblings, then perhaps auncles and niblings/cousins. Primarily the femme ones.
Then take a cup size less (especially if you started after the first puberty). Following that logic I'd be looking at getting a D... so yay?
You could also factor in the masculine members by doubling/tripling what they would have, but that's more complicated. Best to just stick to your closest fem relatives for comparison.
YMMY, though. It's highly dependent and the best way is to have a bit extra fat when you start on E. Assuming you start with a healthy weight: cycle each week: eat more, then burn it when you eat a bit less and sport more. Fat redistribution will then go faster. Helps to squat too (for the hips, belly and legs).
😭 did I mention I am Japanese?
Do you get your levels tested, I had really shit levels on oral/sublingual and got like 10x the breast growth on 6 months injections than several years of pills.
Yeah, I'm tested quarterly. The low E works for me 'cuz I'm nonbinary and prefer a mixed hormonal balance.
Two years in and they're still testing every 3 months? Is that just the norm there?
It is, yeah. Or at least I think the state requires insurers to provide it as gender affirming care.
It's not what it sounds like, most people would guess I am an A cup.
I met a girl who has Ds at just over a year. I was so jealous. It isn't super common, but it happens. Genetics are weird.
What's 4chan?
A forum that started about anime fandom where you post anonymously without any registration. It has really lax content policy and a wide variety of categories, so naturally it is a breeding ground for fringe politics and social movements as well as dank memes.
I avoid it like the plague.
I had C cups at 4 months. Not implausible.
I'm deeply envious. XD
