General

Hi! I am a gender fluid person, assigned female at birth.

A year ago I accepted that I want to gain weight, and I have my partner's support, so that's great. But I'd like some advice on how to prevent my bust size from increasing too much as I gain weight.

It's the part of my body that gives me the most dysphoria, so I'd love to have a big, beautiful belly, but without my breasts getting in the way. Any advice?

Honestly don't know if this would help, but I assume it might, considering I've seen a faja work incredibly well on someone who was gaining weight:

Intermittent binding.

I'd suggest starting to bind your chest, not only because you want it bound, but because you want your breasts to go "Oh wait- this is too tight; this isn't where we're supposed to grow and deposit more fat."

That's... My theory and understanding, at least.

Please, someone, chime in and tell Me if there's any truth to my theory lol

All I can really think to say is start testosterone before you begin gaining

That’s awesome that ur doing what you want and have a supportive partner!

If testosterone is something you want, that might help with the body fat distribution. As far as I know, there’s no real way to control where fat goes in the body.

I hear KT tape can be good for comfortably binding larger chests.

If you’re planning on top surgery at any point in the future, it might be worth looking into the BMI limits of surgeons near you.

Or you can just get fat enough that your chest blends in with the rest of your fat body!
