one of my most libertarian beliefs is that we should pretty much let everyone do what they want, subject to medical safety and hygiene best practices, in terms of cosmetic chest surgeries.
people just really like being able to change their chests
surprise! more data that gender-affirming procedures on minors are rare, and mostly breast reductions (and, way fewer than cosmetic breast surgery on cis female minors) cc @michaelhobbes.bsky.social
might this suggest some wider inferences about gender affirmation, in whatever direction people would like their gender affirmed?
who can say, it is a mystery
this isn’t just ladies either, cis men really like gynecomastia surgery, and the n on this is *way* bigger than you’re maybe thinking (25k US surgeries in 2022)
