Noisebridge Vision
Noisebridge is a space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and of course, learning. Noisebridge is also more than a physical space; it's a community with roots extending around the world.
For we're excellent to each other here
We rarely ever block
We value tools over pre-emptive rules
And spurn the key and the lock.

We make stuff. So can you.
I have severe gynecomastia,female like breasts. I however started developing breasts at puberty. By the time I started high school, I was wearing a bra fulltime. I was a 34C at that point.
Fast forward 30 years and I still wear a bra fulltime. I even wear a woman's tankini tops in the summer. I now wear a 36H in most of my bras. I have learned to accept them as a blessing and not a curse. My wife likes that I have them. They are just as much a part of sex as hers are.
My wife and I are very close in our bra size. I'm a 36H and she's a 38G and we can share a lot of our bras. I get fitted for my bras. I also have to get annual breast exams including a mammogram and sonogram because of my dense breast tissue.
I had considered a breast reduction or a double mastectomy in the past but I did not think that the cost, pain, recovery, or the risk was worth it. I just wear a comfortable and supportive bra that fits and I go about my day. I figured that women deal with everyday life with breasts that are bigger than mine. Wearing a bra and having breasts is not the worst thing in the world. Women everywhere have them and deal with the issues. Some guys are just blessed.
I should also add that I have had occasional lactation from time to time. I used the absorbent pads inserted in my bra. My sister happened to have a bag of them that she gave to me to try. They did the trick for me. She explained to why pumping off my breast milk wouldn't help and they would probably become further engorged.
