THIS! So fucking much!
It took me 6 months just to get HRT, I bet the surgery for gynecomastia doesn’t even take half of that to get. I hate this double standard 😔

    There is a difference between removing fat and removing glands that can produce milk to feed babies.

      Gynecomastia is abnormal glandular development in breast tissue belonging to a bio-male, though. Can also remove some fat, but the surgery is predominantly to remove glandular tissue. It’s basically a double mastectomy for cis dudes and is 100% a gender affirming thing - same as a mastectomy for trans men.

      There literally isn’t lol, it’s the same surgery with the same techniques.

      PS: cis men can lactate, it’s all hormonal.

        Now so many babies out there are gonna starve since you chose to do it. Look at what you have done.

      If the person with the glands in question is male, having gone through the wrong puberty and it causes them great anguish and dysphoria, I believe that removing those is just as important as removing gynecomastia, which is “just fat”.

      This isn’t an unpopular opinions community. Take your dog shit opinion and GTFO.

      Pretty sure dudes exhibiting gynecomastia produce milk too.

      Do you think that guy should have been denied the surgery because he could be feeding babies?
