Hormone therapy for bigger breasts?!


Question: Hormone therapy for bigger breasts!?
Explain this to me- I've had two kids and my breasts have gotten smaller after each pregnancy!. Then this temp guy starts working in our warehouse and I do a double take because he's got these huge breasts! Totally a guy otherwise, big, tall, burly etc!. So I first I think "OK, man boobs"!. Then I notice he's wearing a bra!. So I go into the office and I'm like what's with the dude with the boobs!? And my co-workers tell me he's a transgender!. So if he's undergoing some therapy to make him a woman, how did he all of a sudden grow some huge boobs!? And if that's all it takes, some hormones, how come we flat chested ladies can't get some (LOL)!? The question is in fun, I'm not about to take hormones, but thought this is kind of unjust!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If your colleague is 'a transgender' rather than a transsexual woman, it's more likely that he's had breast implants than hormone therapy!.
'transgender' men tend not to want to take oestrogen at the levels necessary for significant breast development because of the genital side-effects (shrinkage, impotence and sterility)!. Transsexual women do; we generally see these side effects as equally desirable as breast growth!.

'flat-chested ladies' who are past puberty wouldn't benefit from the oestrogen that's prescribed to transsexual women, or 'transgender guys'!.

Oestrogen will only produce the amount of breast tissue your body is genetically programmed for; if your genes are set for small breasts, that's what you'll get; if they're set for large breasts, you'll get those instead!.
Transsexual women (and 'transgender guys') develop breast tissue in exactly the same way as adolescent XX girls do; and, in the same way, their breast size is determined by their genes (although, if the transsexual woman is a long way past puberty, her breast development will be less than if she began taking oestrogen at, or shortly after, puberty!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
