If you go on Reddit and trawl for LGB Alliance mentions, you'll see trans rights activists claiming this. In her LGB Alliance keynote conference speech, Bailey commented, "Girls are having breasts removed that have never known a lover's caress." I think her intention is pretty obvious there.. many young girls and women undergo the "gender affirming" double mastectomy surgery while being sexually inexperienced, and don't realize the full ramifications of what they're doing to their body.

But, many trans rights activists are trying to suggest that she was creepy to state this, or implying that she is somehow advocating for child abuse-- yet again, leaning on and encouraging the homophobic stereotype that LGB people are predators.

It's more abusive to children to force them into binders and on hormones and breast removal then the other

So this is creepy, but stopping children's puberty, feeding them hormones & multilating their genitals isn't. This is creepy but Desmond is Amazing isn't. This is creepy but brainwashing school children with trans ideology isn't.

Typical trans hyprocisy. These nasty people make me sick.

I think it was a poor choice of words even though I agree with the sentiment. I knew they were gonna go after her for it.

Agreed. I was also concerned about the possibility. Partly because the wording sort of... personifies...? women's breasts. There are other ways to communicate the message that would've worked as well.

People were feigning outrage when this issue was raised in the Kiera Bell case too. Controlling the narrative around trans children is very important because most people would be against it if they thought too much about the details.

Trans are immediately forgiven by TRAs for saying and doing countless actual creepy and threatening things, so the hypocrisy and projection of this is off the charts.

I agree with what she said about certain parts of the body being naturally erogenous zones. What she's expressing is not much different than when people say child circumcision of either sex decreases/eliminates one's ability to experience sexual sensation when they mature. A perfectly valid point that most liberals would probably agree with. But yeah, I've noticed that many critics of LGBA tend to look through everything the org says through the lens of "The gays are after the children" whenever it suits them. I'm not at all surprised by this kneejerk homophobic take from the cancel crowd by now. Stand fast, Allison.
