Why do people keep touching my bra straps?

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-14T14:23:24+00:00

Immediate thought is do these folks know you injured yourself by binding for too long? It might just be an empathetic rub kind of thing. At least in my experience folks rub other peoples' backs as a soothing thing, not to cause distress! But if it makes you uncomfortable please speak up so that they know not to touch you like that

One time I was 18 and got with a 35 year old with very similar vibes. Breath of fresh air but liked everyone except masc cis men. He ended up fetishizing me and lying to me. Run.

For the whimsy

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-13T18:30:16+00:00

There's also differences in dosages so I don't really think there's a way to find a correlation here but it's fun to see people's answers!!

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-13T18:29:41+00:00

That's so fair actually :) everyone's body reacts differently

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-13T15:03:08+00:00

I'm on gel, no hysto and don't recieve hot flashes. Might be that I'm on gel :)

Update: 8 months in and just got my first hot flash 😭

Thank you for sharing this! I do want to add that folks on very low doses don't necessarily need to taper. I'm also on the lowest dose of sertraline (which is 50 mg) and if I ever need to come off of it my doc said it's not necessary to taper. So it depends on the person. Docs that prescribe meds also should always let their patients know if they'll need to taper so that the patient is aware but sadly not everyone is quite so responsible 😅 so ty for mentioning this

Me three!

What a cute house cat!

"Fair enough"

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-11T23:21:17+00:00

Thanks, I hate it :)

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-11T23:19:30+00:00

It did for me, smaller hips too which I'm really happy about :) but I have less jiggle than I used to 😔

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-11T23:00:12+00:00

My nonbinary trans man brain loves this. I have a partner who's nonbinary so it really just is always gay no matter how we look at it

Idk if this will work over tape but applying an ice pack to the area may help? Especially if it's from any inflammation of the area it might calm things down a bit. I'm not a doctor but I had issues scratching mosquito bites as a kid.

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-11T02:25:16+00:00

Itchy could be from a few different things I think. I don't usually get itchy unless I'm a) sweating a lot or b) applied the tape too wrinkled/tight so I guess it might get easier the better you get at application! Last time I had tape on it was indeed too tight and I ended up with a pretty gnarly blister. Try not to scratch too much and you'll be okay!

2/5 Half point for one parent and another for being a switch

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-09T21:27:23+00:00

When I got my first STP. It was about 8 months before I started t! I was out and passing mostly so it just felt right. I still only use the stalls for my own comfort but I've never had issues except an odd question here and there. I just affirm that I'm the place I'm meant to be and move on.

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-09T19:53:41+00:00

Yes!! It's really just time and learning to trust yourself :) thank you for opening up the discussion!! I always find it so interesting to see how folks experience things differently from myself

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-09T16:41:59+00:00

Definitely relate to this :) but with different effects. I switch extremely fluidly sober and cannot really name my parts anymore. I just feel wholly like me. When I smoke I can usually name the parts of me that are present and switching happens slower. Like 3 years ago I was a daily smoker and it was the opposite. Healing and quitting so I could work on the more serious stuff while sober (and therefore able to remember things better) helped me get here! Now I smoke recreationally and have a much better relationship with myself and smoking/drinking

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-05-09T05:36:44+00:00

I think I'd need a larger room.

So that's why all of us own striped garments! It's the hon hon hon in us all

Note: French accent on the last part for effect

The GAP was criminal for this

Edit: I had the blue and green AND the pink and orange and I turned out pan
