Everyday musing weirdness -OR- Bra shopping for the big-ribbed blows.

This is just a simple vent.

I'm sure you've all experienced this sort of thing for those MTFs out there, but one of the most annoying things I think I end up dealing with having breasts and a large rib cage is finding a bra that actually fits. Mind you I tend to wear crop-tops and sports bras, but when I want to flaunt a bit more, a traditional bra is more in order. The problem I have is finding a traditional style bra that will fit around my rib cage but not have monster cups. On the flip side, I also find a few that fit my ribcage but have extremely short shoulder straps even when they're let out as far as possible. Those really bug me because they push my boobs up so high that it not only is uncomfortable, but it makes my boobs look fake.

It's really frustrating in general, because while I don't always want to overflaunt my chest, it's nice to wear a bra that accentuates it at times. Being intersexed, I'm not so worried about passing as a girl full time, just finding clothes that fit and allow me to be me. I have no problem with underwear in general, but bras... it's just hard to find a bra that fits right.

And that has been your simple random short rant for the day.

AGP/HSTS

[foxxygirltamara.livejournal.com]

Why do (a tiny minority of) people self-identify as AGP (autogynephilic) or HSTS (homosexual transsexual/androphilic)?

We were having a conversation regarding TS psychologist Anne Lawrence and her support of anti-gay and anti-trans activist J. Michael Bailey and his book, The Man Who Would Be Queen.

Anne Lawrence also seems to be obsessed with physical transition. Would this imply that there are a small minority of people who have this sort of inclination?

I was also wondering if they had come up with this sort of BS for FTMs or people who identify as trans but not as MTF or FTM (e.g. GenderQueer).

Are there any people here who would defend such a dichotomy?
