Of training bras and rights of passage

I think for most girls getting their first bra is a right of passage. Sadly it is not one i got to experience at least till i bought my own at 17 or 18 but that's a story for another time. I first started seeing my female classmates develop probably around 4th or 5th grade and like any genetic male or in my case transgendered and not yet realizing bisexual female I took notice. My first attractions were to girls and later boys as well. But one thing i also had was a desire to develop the way they were. To need a training bra the way they did. To have the same right of passage of getting my first bra like they did. I had worn bras before but had never had one of my own. In those days catalogs had pictures of girls my age wearing them in ads like the picture above and I wished i could get them along with the other clothes i saw as discussed in yesterdays post.

It's funny how so many genetic women come to hate wearing a bra but trans women see it as part of being a woman and even if they don't nessecarily like it they don't have a problem with it because it comes with being female. By the time i got my first bra it was a woman's bra not a little girls but like the little girls i had very little to fill it.

I was always a little on the heavy side. I was often made fun of for having boobies and being seen as a boy this was not considered a desirable thing. Little did the people making fun of me know i wanted the real thing. I once had a girl i had a crush on make fun of me for this fact. She went on and on about how i might want to try a bra and even went into cup sizes and a long spiel about it. Not knowing the whole time i was thinking i wish i could wear a bra. I wish i was able to have my own and only getting to wear a borrowed one occasionally in secret.
