Men's Health Issues and/or Concerns

[mr seamstress]

?in today society a man can be afflicted with gynecomastia. Is a condition cause by taking certain medications. When that happens the male has a choice in accepting himself or become depress.
Today society isn't open about men who suffer from such condition. There coming down with large breast isn't much choice. This happens from side-effects from their medications. Such men are no longer accepted in their congregations if he start wearing a bra. His church will unidentified him being LGBTQ status for wearing a bra. He can suffer in silence and wear a binder and hopes no one notice he is wearing a binder to conceal his medical condition. Since he has gynecomastia his chances of him developing breast cancer just like women went up. He may now need get monograms just like average females.
Instead men suffering in silent they should go ahead and wear a bra. There isn't nothing wrong if men go beyond the bra and start wearing dresses and skirts as well.
One of these medications that can cause gynecomastia is called Finasteride and is still being dispense today for men.

I wear B cup bra from gynecomastia and my breast can get larger because I accept them. Deuteronomy gets thrown in my face because I developed with gynecomastia instead of being loved according to bible. This reflects how a portion of society hates men who suffer from gynecomastia. In today society average woman doesn't want to have anything to do with a man that suffers from gynecomastia because of his attire.

By this post I hope skirtcafe recognize gynecomastia members.

Regarding Deuteronomy 22:5 - "A woman shall not wear a man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." (NASB) Given that there was very little difference between male and female attire, there had to be an underlying reason, such as men trying to pass as women that were engaged in pagan rituals.
It seem this passage is used against men far more than against women.
While we're at it, consider Deuteronomy 22:12 - "You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself." or Deuteronomy 22:11 - "“You shall not wear a material of wool and linen combined together." That would outlaw any blended fabrics.
And Gentiles violate the prohibition of consuming pork.

Thanks to my being on estrogen over 12 years, I have developed DD bra cup sized breasts. My paternal grandmother had enormous breasts. That comes in handy as I have something to fill out the chest of the dresses I wear. Of course, I have to wear a bra when I am out in public, riding or driving a vehicle, and when I go for walks. I have NEVER been made to feel ashamed for wearing a bra.

You have nothing to be ashamed about wearing a bra. To you it as necessary as wearing a pair of shoes or sandals.
I suggest if your pastor throws up in your face Deuteronomy 22:5 for wearing a bra, you might want to find another church.

By this post I hope skirtcafe recognize gynecomastia members.

The only requirement as I see it is that men use their real masculine names instead of some made up feminine names.

Given the cultural differences between the US and the UK, it would be helpful to at least indicate which country you reside.

Take care,

In public I don't pretend be anything else, I make it abundantly clear I'm a man and I use my real name.
Our cultural is the same in regard of having members of society hates men in attire they deem as inappropriate.

I had members of general society to quote to me the bible.
The way I see it if you have gynecomastia (Man Boobs), just as well to wear skirts or dresses with that bra and make the best of it. Churches in your culture as well as mine automatically find man guilty being LGBTQ for wearing a bra and causing all the society problems. Not saying all churches does this, just most of them. These churches have zero love for men who suffer from gynecomastia.
As far as general society concerns they see man in bra, they automictically see breast is false or he had doctor to help him make his boobs bigger on purpose.

At my Episcopalian church I am accepted with my dresses, heels, and grooming like a woman. I also sing second bass in my choir, so people know I am a man. I have admitted I am on estrogen and that's why I have large breasts.
My church is NOT one of those who advocate LGB+++ ideology.
If you want to see samples of what I wear publicly, including church, look up Recent photos of John H under Pics and Looks. I feel here in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area that I am respected and not harassed in any way.
I hide my breasts whenever I wear a man's coat and tie outfit. Since yours are smaller you should be able to do likewise.

Gynomastia is a blessing, for those of us that like our boobs. A B cup is fine, but I wouldn’t want to be bigger than B.

[Fred in Skirts]

I have boobs somewhere between a "B" cup and a "C" cup. I do not need the bra but have worn them when I felt like I needed something to take the pressure off of my very bad back. I really like my boobs and actually wish they were bigger, (full "C": cup at least) but I am not going to ask for meds to make them bigger. If they grow bigger then great, but if not so be it..

I find my breast is too big (from where I see it it appear quite big) but when looking in a mirror it looks "normal" for a man and is invisible under any non skinny top. So I accomodate with it, surgery to get it smaller doesn't feel indicated even if I would like it to be smaller. But bigger, I would pratice surgery to reduce them. This is the only part of my body I'm not comfortable with, I find that all the rest is fine. Even the specifically masculine part that I have much smaller than others in addition to be malformed, I'm happy with it.
If a man has gynecomastia problems that impact his mental or his social circle, he should see a doctor to discuss what is possible to reduce it (including surgery). And for the other ones who don't see their gynecomastia as a problem, then everything is fine.

Its had to find a bra big enough to fit me and have a small enough cut.
I need a A cup and most bras start a B/C series cup.
I dont the bras that are not "Sized" as in say 42C never fit but the Non numbers are are useable say a 3XL bra.
Fortunately online shopping and delivery is the norm these days.

All over Amazon, Torrid, GAP, Her Room and others all sell bras that fit.
Like with any clothing items you have to understand how the sizing works for that particular Brand and Product.
I've found brands that ordering the 2nd item in a different color and you get a different sizing table.
IE a 3XL in Black or 2XL in Red.

Trust me I do understand how sizing works. The link I provided was just another option. They specialize for male bodies according to their description. It was hope they have more of your liking, including their prices.
The problem in ordering online also include the quality of product. This include the straps will not stay in place when you adjust them. I cannot speak for the quality of their product.
The link I provided they only sell one cup size. Unfortunately for me it's to small for my bust.

As common gynecomastia is one would thing there would be adverts in selling bras toward men alone. There is another reason such advert should exist. That reason would be base upon common male athlete. Many male athlete's get sore or chap nipples and have a need bra or other products deem feminine to protect them from this condition. So the next time you see a basketball player game is way off might be because he is in pain from his tits getting soar from practice before game. The least you would hear from sport announcer about a player who's game is way off because his breast is sore and he cannot see straight. This medical condition is being kept secret from public scrutiny. This subject is taboo regardless how common this happens in average athlete. Such adverts would open the doors for males into buying attire that is deem feminine.

I do have something of an issue with man boobs through a combination of being overweight and also bodybuilding. I don't need support and, aside from the aesthetics, I don't need anything like a bra. If I did, I would probably go for something like a compression vest first.

Having seen some of these supposed "men's bras" and the kind of company that supplies them, it's quite obvious they are far more about a fetish than support. And that's ok if that's your thing. But it's not mine.

The idea of my playing basketball without wearing a bra causes me to wince with my DD bra cup size. I maintain the wearing of bras should be based on need, not gender. A woman who has a bra cup size of AA should not need a bra. On the other hand, there are older men who clearly need to wear a bra but are too ashamed to wear one, as "Bras are only for women".

Regarding Deuteronomy 22:5 - "A woman shall not wear a man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God."

How many times do we need to retrace this primrose path? It's getting tiresome. (1) Deuteronmy is an Old Testament chapter, and thus is obsolete doctrine as it's been replaced by the New Testament. (2) The entire thing hinges of a botched translation in the King James Bible on the matter of attire. (3) The thing is an extended parable about deception. If there is no deception intended, then the strictures DO NOT APPLY.

We repeat these idiot words at our own cost. Let us not forget that. Thus, of all people, we should be the ones trying to educate the unwashed masses that surround and bully us. It has become a cudgel used to beat men with. Let's not empower that!
