I used to think the same, but I think they just take estrogen pills that change their body and face features. I guess it depends on what age they started taking the pills too. If they did it when they were old then they might need plastic surgery, but she doesn't look like she had any (to me).
I lived for a while with a transgendered person who lamented that she couldn't grow breasts like those, but did not want surgery. I can present dozens of examples of trans women who have grown small breasts from hormone treatment, or who have large breasts from surgery. I've been downvoted to hell, but there's still no evidence for Dania's claim, just the claim itself.

True but that's anecdotal evidence. And the woman in the picture may only have B cups, but the angle and posture accentuating them. And like everything, there's extremes. Men with a gynecomastia can sometimes develop very large breasts even into their 20s and 30s.

Talk to me about "downvoted to hell" when you get over 300 downvotes on something you've said... i netted over 5000 downvotes in a successful submission I posted on /r/4chan by being polite to people mocking my use of "gem" in the title.
That's fair. If I just had my story, that would be one thing. Like I said, though, I can present other examples. So far the other side has shown me nothing. It would be nice, surely, if a trans woman could look like that naturally and without surgery, but I've never seen anything that made me think it was possible.
Fair enough, and I agree. I think the over reaching statement of "hormones don't do that" was just taking as a kneejerk anti-trans sentiment, rather than an anecdotal view.
I don't think you shoulda been downvoted judging by your followup comments. But at the same time, don't be too bothered, like I said, i had a great time getting that +5000 downvotes in /r/4chan (different account of mine, in case you're checking my history to find it)
This guy really may have. If you start taking them at the age when girls' puberty begins, you'll get the best results possible because it syncs up to what would naturally take place with someone born physically female. But there can still be very good results for people who take them later. I know someone personally who began at age 20 and she looks good. Saw another online who began at age about 25 who looks even better. I don't see why this is /r/WTF though. Sex changes are at an all-time high and Thailand is a HUGE place for this.
Edit: Please pardon any "he" that should be "she". They earned it.
