The Guardian again; Celebrating double mastectomies, filing it under "health and wellbeing"

This just makes me feel sad; with a close family member who died of cancer, a friend who can't breastfeed due to breast cancer and who carries that sadness and pain and a MIL who had a double mastectomy due to aggressive breast cancer and who is in extreme pain with it every day, that these young women have elected to do this to themselves because they worship at the alter of gender ideology is just really depressing.

If these women are truly, truly happy, then I do hope they can cope with the pain they will carry now, but I just can't see why this would be filed under "wellness" and health and wellbeing in the newspaper. The Guardian really have sunk deep into the ideology now. I don't think there's a way back for them.

I agree OP. I still read the Guardian but I can't stand articles like this. It's just so sad that young women are harming themselves like this.

Jesus, what a rag 🙄

It's just so...disturbing, you're right. The tone of the article as well. I miss the old guardian, I hate what it's become.

Very disturbing article about deeply disturbed women.

I'm sure they'll get even worse, in the Bluesky echo chamber where they'll face minimal challenge or disagreement.
