Cindy girl, hey sweetheart. How good to hear from you. I'm glad things are going okay, I think of you so often. Please email me anytime you'd like or leave a message, just ask for me by my guy name, which you know.
You're always in my heart, girl. The first real friend I made on TW. You know I always wish you the very best. I keep wishing you would come back, but that is just selfishness. Stay strong and stay true to yourself and what you feel.
Hugs, Joni

The Learning Channel had a show called BOYS WITH BREASTS tonight. It was on exactly this topic and covered it fairly well including lactation. It was interesting to note that there were some people with the condition who were clearly transgendered, although the show did not make the connection firmly. It was also clear people with the condition deal with the same kind of societal rejection/abuse that we do.

Hey Cindy. You are wonderful – so encouraging and so caring for others, even though you know how much you're missing in your situation. Love you lots babe. I will email you.

Although I’ve heard of the condition, the only place I’ve met people who actually are affected by it is on this site; maybe that follows on from what Rachel hinted at, men are scared to admit to such an affliction, it just goes to show the prejudice that our society has to contend with. For men to admit that they have breast cancer means they have to admit they have breasts, sorry guys but you do have them; they are just smaller than girls’.
Unless you suffer from gynecomastia of course, and you wouldn’t want to admit that if you’re a straight male.
Is there a tg amongst us who wouldn’t want to have gynecomastia as a valid excuse for being somewhat more feminine?
