I’ve never had actual pecs. The main obstacle for that is pectus excavatum. Here’s an illustration of pectus excavatum (on the left):

My case of pectus excavatum isn’t as dramatic as some cases, like the case in the illustration. Never in my life have I had any known medical concerns associated with it, aside from a strained muscle in 2023 or so. Some of my muscles aren’t anchored in an optimal way, and I strained a muscle just below my breast bone after periods of heavy lifting at work.

The one peculiar aspect of my pectus excavatum is that it extends beyond the breast bone into the adjacent ribs. There’s a dip in my ribs that basically matches the dip in my breast bone. I don’t think it was ever possible for me to have classic pecs, given this.

I’ve likely also had gynecomastia (i.e., AMAB breast tissue) since some point in puberty. Even when I’ve been rather thin, I’ve had ‘strange chest fat’ with these rubbery discs that were underneath my nipples. Instead of pecs, I had breasts projecting a bit over a dip in my ribs. I tend to have a prominent back arch with an anterior pelvic tilt, so I suppose my protruding tummy disguised the situation a bit.

After only the first few HRT injections, I’ve had nipple sensitivity and rigidity. My breasts have also filled out a bit, possibly thanks to the pre-existing breast tissue. I might be at a point where flashing my chest could get me into trouble, and where nipple outlines through clothes are inappropriate. If all goes smoothly, then I only have mere months before this is definitely the case.

So I’ve decided to… buy sports bras.

I’m boymoding until a fem presentation becomes completely natural, but I’ve reached a point where I have to actually put some effort into disguising myself while covering some things up. Based on my female relatives, there are plenty of dramatic bottom heavy curves and sizeable breasts. I already have a head start on breasts and rear size so… I’ll likely reach a point where boymoding becomes the most impractical thing ever. Can’t tell when that point will come. As long as I stay on HRT… it is coming.

I likely have months until I have to step up my game for boymoding, and an indefinite amount of time until boymoding is too impractical.
