The term “moobs” or “man-boobs” has become popular, and I am uncomfortable with it. My boobs are just boobs, I don’t know why they have to be gendered.
What’s your experience?

I'm getting pretty annoyed with the prefixes "man" and "bro" in general. As in bro-job, bromance, murse (man purse or male nurse), etc…

I use to use the term man-boobs a lot. Haven’t since coming out… But then again now I look at them and suck in my beer belly and think I have a very feminine shape.
The hair on my nipples still annoys me…but shaving there will most likely be painfull.

There's always plucking haha, if you wanted to remove the hair that bad. I have plucked the hair around my nipples and it doesn't hurt but maybe that's just me.

I nicked the tip of a nipple the first time I shaved. It didn't hurt any more than a nick anywhere else. However, there was a tiny trickle of very dark blood that wouldn't stop, so I used a styptic pencil on it. That stung like the dickens!

Waxed my chest once, didn’t hurt anyware except the nipple, and I cried, alot. Still not as bad as waxing my face. Never wax face hair, it just hurts, alot. The only time I ever passed out from pain.

This! I was thinking about this just today, even though I identify as fluid, not transmasculine—or at least not limited to that! When I’m feeling femme I emphasize my boobs, when I’m feeling butch/androgynous I downplay them or bind. And then there are times when they just…are. What’s so weird about that?
