Apparently it makes a difference? Im a 36DD if im cis but because im trans im 36D. Is there validity to this or is it just cissoids trying to other us. Probably is valid just sucks to be reminded that I will forver live in a moid body

    They are trying to account for the increased rib circumference that would come from going through a testosterone-driven puberty (mistakenly treating it as guaranteed by the sex at birth) but also it really tends to be a crapshoot. Like this thing does not give me accurate results at all

        No need to apologize, bra sizing is so confusing. And I don’t fully understand all this myself. But basically, this is all targeting the ‘standard configuration’ of breasts. And when women have wide set breasts (which is more common in trans women with rib cages that have experienced growth from testosterone, but is also experienced by cis women) they have to look for specialized solutions like this https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/18j5372/wide_set_people_what_bra_type_do_you_wear/

        And so what I think we’re seeing here is an attempt to treat wide set breasts as the standard configuration for trans women? Maybe.

            Saaame, they really complicate things! I’ve been at least a little dissatisfied with everything I own but now I’m kinda curious about these plunge styles that are getting talked about in this thread I linked because I’ve never tried them
