As much as I appreciate the fact that we are starting to stand up for teenage girls and young women -

I wonder if people won't really listen until the "egg" community, that recruits young men, is finally in the news, exposed, and treated as real - because it's something that impacts men and boys.

I swear, the egg_irl sub is highly problematic. According to them, every gender non conforming person should transition. I predict that the number of detransitioners will explode in the future, since now you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans, according to them

Pain science is part of my gig. I also foresee the population of chronic pain patients rising -- even "just" top and minor plastic surgeries cause adhesions, mild to moderate nerve damage, range-of-motion issues . . .

The reason they don't consider breast reductions medically necessary unless someone is in severe pain is because of risk vs reward - the risk is high enough, you could be replacing one problem with another problem. (Cosmetic is "you are an adult, if you pay for it you can take the responsibility for the poor outcome" - but I think it's clear sometimes people don't have fully understanding of the risk).

Absolutely no doubt the "full risk" isn't promoted in TRA circles. And now they're trying to stuff destrans people into the basement, keep them silent . . . This is soooo cultish.
