More than 1,000 patients a year have trans chest surgery on the NHS.

Data reveal the extent of ‘masculinising’ mastectomies being carried out on the health service, despite calls to halt the surgeries.

Data obtained by The Telegraph show for the first time the number of referrals for taxpayer-funded “masculinising” mastectomies from specialised gender clinics.

80% are female between the ages of 17-25 who have had elective mastectomies.
These are procedures that don’t have benefits but carry plenty of risks.

This is a scandal. The NHS are mutilating young and vulnerable women.

It’s awful. We’re going to look back at this with shame.

Are they chopping off commensurate numbers of cocks and balls? Nah, thought not.

Poor woman, they look lopsided and very uncomfortable.

These are surgeries where patients have had extensive counselling and waiting lists are years long.

Trans man Scott Nugent:

"These infections are getting harder and harder to beat.

I’m really struggling today. It’s 5 AM, and I have a lot of work ahead of me, plus a lot of stops to make for my new sales job. I feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity, and things are going well overall, but I’m dealing with an infection.

These infections are terrible and make life feel like I’m walking through mud, both emotionally and physically. My hand is swollen and painful, and it feels like I’m peeing daggers. The good news is I’ll have insurance in 20 more days—yay! I lost my state-funded insurance after starting my job, but thankfully, it’s only for 20 days. Twenty days isn’t much.

Overall, I’m doing okay, but I definitely feel like "donkey doo-doo."

People who say that medical transition is safe and reversible should be publicly slapped silly, tarred, and 🪶 feathered but dropped off safely after at their homes, 😂😆😆😂😂......Just embarrassed beyond repair, yet able to reflect and redirect their ignorance."
