I'm about 4 months on HRT. Wearing a bra makes me feel a little bit weird. Not euphoric. I wear it for the support. Anyone else feel a bit weird when they started wearing a bra?

I’m transfeminine. By now most of my family and some other people know my preferred name, pronouns, and have seen me presenting more femme. I’m sort of in boy mode at school. As in presenting male but doing little non-conforming things. (I’m not sure what my classmates think of me. I’m guessing oblivious.) I’m thinking of doing something like updating my preferred name in the computer or showing up to class in a skirt. I’m not very far a long on HRT or voice lessons. I’m also not a very feminine person. All this make me nervous. Also, once I come out, would people expect me to not return to boy mode?

Follow up to the post I made last week:

So the calculator suggested 42D. I tried a 42D bra. The cup is way to big. I also tried 44C and 44B bras. The problem seems to be that my breasts are far apart because I'm AMAB. There was more gaping towards the inside of the cup, especially with the 44B, and some of the outside of the breast was being contained by the side of the bra. I'm guessing the large gap between my breasts throws off the calculator.

Here are my

I'm transfem and I've been on HRT for about 2 months, and I'm looking for some support. I took these measurements:

loose underbust: 44inches

snug underbust: 43 inches

tight underbust: 41.5 inches

standing bust: 47 inches

leaning bust: 50 inches

lying bust: 47 inches

Your suggested starting size is: 42D/DD in standard US sizing

A band size of 42 seems small as even a bra with a 46 band feels tight. Anyways, it looks like most brands don't go up to that band size. (The bras I have I've worn with homemade breast forms, so cup size was less important.) As uncomfortable as it makes me, I'd prefer to go to a store and try on a bunch as it's easier that trying to guess with online

I tried on a dress in 2 different sizes. The first one felt like it fit in certain places, but was too tight in many areas. The next size up was just too loose all over the place. Any tips for finding a better fitting fem clothing? Is this a problem cis women deal with? Will fit get easier as I'm on HRT for longer?

I go by they/them pronouns. But often when I'm thinking about myself in my head I'll use the pronouns associated with my agab. It's freaking me out. Like maybe I should discontinue the hrt I'm taking.

I should be starting hrt soon. I'm worried about finding a bra that fits when things start growing. Right now I have a 52C bra that I use with some homemade breast forms. Will hrt change my band size? Are bras with a large band and small cups easy to find? In a variety of styles?

I'm out to my immediate family, and they are accepting of me. I'd like to start coming out to other people. Anyone have any surprises, like the person that you'd assumed was tolerant turns out not to be?

I'm questioning my gender. So last night I thought I would try some makeup. Last time it didn't go great either. Being amab I followed societal pressure and and never paid attention to makeup. Terms in makeup tutorials make no sense to me like it's a foreign language. First off, I had shaved in the evening, but I hadn't gotten it very close, but still managed to nick myself above the lip. Looking at the stubble I applied some foundation, I liked how it evened out my skin. Applied some blush, but too little left me still looking masculine so I applied some more, and I looked like a clown. Tried some lipstick and smeared it. I looked at the finished look with some disgust and quickly washed it
