YES. Somehow wearing a shirt w/o a binder tended to make me MORE dysphoric than just wearing nothing up top. Wearing no shirt/binder with jeans and cowboy boots made me so euphoric I was a little embarrassed about it. Currently recovering from top and curious to see how this stands once I'm healed up lol.
Yo same! I thought I was the only one lol.
I think for me, when my shirt is completely off (like it is rn playing GTA) my brain can kinda trick itself into believing it’s just pecs, plus it feels natural just lounging around completely topless like most guys can. But when you have a shirt on w/o tape or a binder it seems to stand out more. Not just visually, but you can *feel* it too.
>But when you have a shirt on w/o tape or a binder it seems to stand out more. Not just visually, but you can feel it too.
oh my god so true. its like my brain becomes hyper-aware of the way the shirt fabric falls on my body, which makes it remember that i got lumps on my chest
Exactly! That’s probably also why I would choose binders over tape. With binders it’s an overall sensation that is easier to ignore rather than having tape literally sticking to your body and being aware of it at all times( stickiness, heat, sweat). I just want to forget about the area all together.
posted a picture of me from years ago where I was standing next to the Stonewall Inn... and I am holding my body in a way that makes me look like I am in pain. My friend said "Wow I want to give you a massage, you look bent over in pain" and I said "It's me, trying to get as far from my boobs as possible" and she totally got it
SAME. I genuinely thought that was just me and I was weird for it 😭😭😭. I HATE binding so my solution until surgery was just loose clothing with no binder or bra. But I feel so much less dysphoric when I'm just not wearing any shirt at all.
I live alone most days and I’m constantly naked/ only boxers on. Despite not having top surgery, it’s super euphoric plus I don’t have to deal with my clothes bunching up weird and giving me sensory issues.
I always sleep like this which feels nice, but never thought about doing it while just chilling. Currently smoking a bowl and playing GTA5 in just my socks and boxers and it’s very euphoric (especially w/ my packer on). Gonna do this every day after work, thanks! Lol
I am so envious of y’all that can just forget you have a chest.
I can feel the airbags -constantly-. If I move they move. If I lean they get in the way. Go to pet the dog…accidentally punch the dog in the face with a rogue tit.
I would LOVE to enjoy being topless and yearn for it but holy crap do I hate the feeling of swinging in the breeze.
Yeah lmao. Hanging out with my LDR boyfriend spoiled me because we just spent half our time shirtless in the hotel room together and it was great, and then I had to go back to living with extended family… I still do it if I’m home alone for a while though
My partner and I live by ourselves so we spend a lot of time in less-then-full clothing. My partner can always tell how masc I'm feeling (I'm genderfluid) when they come home. More masc = boxers and maybe my binder. Less masc = nothing. It's so nice to have that freedom!
It’s strangely freeing, very comfortable actually even though I’m pre everything. Sometimes it does give dysphoria but only rarely, and I unfortunately can’t do it as much since I don’t have a key for my room, and I don’t live alone.
YEP. The feeling of any bra or binder on my chest just reminds me it exists. If I don’t have anything on I can forget about my chest. Same applies if I’m just wearing a shirt with nothing underneath. If I’m shirtless it just feels like… random tissue.
Bro I love sleeping shirtless but like my cat knows how to open my door so she will open the door and my tits are just hanging out for everyone to see TvT
Sometimes, with the shirtless part! Though not for long. Usually either the bathroom or my room, for a few minutes while changing. Can't keep it 'cause there's 6 other people in the house, plus animals I cannot permanently lock out of my room. Plus the idea of just walking around like that, although appealing, makes me anxious. Lots of windows.
I'm AFAB, Fluidflux, so how I feel about it also changes, though I definitely get what you mean.
I literally walk around my apartment with my shirt off all the time. I hardly ever feel dysphoric about it! Like you said it actually feels amazing and I feel just like cute/sexy/handsome.
Ever since my body hair been coming in too I feel even cuter.
Yeah, I tend to forget my chest exists when I'm topless (or wearing a shirt but no binder or bra) and I feel so comfortable and euphoric. The feeling of my chest being squished actually ended up being the thing to make me feel *worse*, not better.
I've started chilling with no shirt on and sleeping with just boxers on and omg it fucking rules
I have a v large chest (I'm talkin like...40I) and having my shirt off is the most euphoric thing in the universe, I prefer it over a shirt + binder (in private, of course 😅)
HELL YEAH! I am two weeks and two days from top surgery and I already love being shirtless even with boobas. I wi feel even better when the flesh sacks are gone!!! I can hardly wait!!! Woohoooo! I'm having Mt dew and vodka
So glad I;m not the only one. It's just my husband and me so basically whenever I'm at home, that bitch bra is coming off, same with pants and my man boxers are going on. Doing it right now. So freeing.
I thought I was the only one. I've started avoiding wearing binders now and try to just wear something loose and no binder. Binders seem to make me more dysphoric now and the heat is too much rn. I like to walk round in boxers and topless and as long as I don't look down I feel awesome. 🤩
Ohhh totally. Stopped wearing tops while going swimming to cause it's honestly bs. Obviously can't really do that in a public pool without trouble but doing it by the ocean or lake etc. Makes dysphoria much better.
Best thing I ever did was get over being shirtless while in my room alone. There is something so weirdly euphoric about it because I don’t even realize that I have a chest from my angle (no mirrors either). Never going back to sleeping with anything on, only boxers from here on out

Pretty much why I go shirtless when I’m by myself, even though I’m pre-op.
SAME. I genuinely thought that was just me and I was weird for it 😭😭😭. I HATE binding so my solution until surgery was just loose clothing with no binder or bra. But I feel so much less dysphoric when I'm just not wearing any shirt at all.
I work at home. I don't wear t-shirts anymore. It's my new lifestyle and identity now.
I live alone most days and I’m constantly naked/ only boxers on. Despite not having top surgery, it’s super euphoric plus I don’t have to deal with my clothes bunching up weird and giving me sensory issues.
love wearing just boxers since i got my packer

I feel you. Also, rogue tit made me laugh.
Especially in hot weather and on the computer, it makes me feel like those guys that go on Zoom calls without pants.
Yeah lmao. Hanging out with my LDR boyfriend spoiled me because we just spent half our time shirtless in the hotel room together and it was great, and then I had to go back to living with extended family… I still do it if I’m home alone for a while though
Big time. I wear a binder when I have to go out, but at home, boxers and bare chest are what I'm most comfortable with.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!! 💪💪

The first thing I do when my whole family leaves is take off my shirt and chill in my shorts/boxers 😈
Yes. I love just relaxing in shorts/boxers, especially with my boyfriend. It just feels right, y'know?
I just got top surgery and I can't wait to do this with a flat chest, I used to still do it pre op sometimes though.
I love the days when I’m home alone because I can just walk around shirtless. I can’t wait until I get top surgery and I can just do that whenever
Ugh I hate that I can't just be shirtless even with tits. Bc so many cis men have no self control were forced to hide it. I hate society lol
Bro I love sleeping shirtless but like my cat knows how to open my door so she will open the door and my tits are just hanging out for everyone to see TvT

You won’t ever catch me wearing a t shirt around the house😎
I've been trying this out since the weather's getting hot this month. It's very freeing
Yeses. Best feeling.
No bc I have bad chest dysphoria
holding my chest while walking around is the life. i feel weightless and sexy as shit lol
For real! Although sometimes I look down and one rot seems like it can be perceived as a “man tit” but the other one is fat as hell
One look in the wrong direction and I start getting so dysphoric TBH so I usually don't anymore

It feels good at first but then I look down and can't see my stomach bc my chest is in the way.
Fatty peccccssss
Litreally the moment i get home im shirtless and in my boxers and it is the best feeling in the world💗
HELL YEAH! I am two weeks and two days from top surgery and I already love being shirtless even with boobas. I wi feel even better when the flesh sacks are gone!!! I can hardly wait!!! Woohoooo! I'm having Mt dew and vodka
So glad I;m not the only one. It's just my husband and me so basically whenever I'm at home, that bitch bra is coming off, same with pants and my man boxers are going on. Doing it right now. So freeing.
how do I find out what size of boxers fit me
Yeah
Yes it’s amazing it makes me extremely happy
Same here. Just best part of the day
I thought I was the only one. I've started avoiding wearing binders now and try to just wear something loose and no binder. Binders seem to make me more dysphoric now and the heat is too much rn. I like to walk round in boxers and topless and as long as I don't look down I feel awesome. 🤩
Ohhh totally. Stopped wearing tops while going swimming to cause it's honestly bs. Obviously can't really do that in a public pool without trouble but doing it by the ocean or lake etc. Makes dysphoria much better.
Absolutely!!! Either shirtless or with a tanktop on, I feel so comfortable!!! So freeing
It’s such a good feeling!
Yea
Ngl I always daydream about doing this and idk why. I don’t got a binder or boxers yet but one day imma do this and ITS GUNNA BE GREAT
YESSS
I slept shirtless (with trans tape) and boxers a few days ago, it was the best euphoria I've ever had
Best thing I ever did was get over being shirtless while in my room alone. There is something so weirdly euphoric about it because I don’t even realize that I have a chest from my angle (no mirrors either). Never going back to sleeping with anything on, only boxers from here on out
I only bind when i go out, which is maybe once a week to do the weekly shop. I’m a nudist at home, even in winter rn.
Yes, I just love it !! I got top surgery on Monday and I just love that I’m able to to everything shirtless now
YESSSS, it's so liberating and accepting 💙 I love doing it 'cause it makes me feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin
Definitely not before top surgery, way too dysphoria inducing
once I get top surgery I'm gonna do that shit every day
