To think that medical professionals should not be cutting off the breasts of teenage girls?

"My breasts were beautiful, now they’ve been incinerated for nothing. Thank you, modern medicine.”

Chloe Cole's story is heartbreaking.

AIBU to think that this is medical abuse and that we should not be doing this to children?

YANBU. This is child abuse. No child should be allowed to undergo these types of procedures, they're too young to understand the consequences.

YANBU- this is the greatest medical scandal ever.

The only people who think this is a good idea are the Dr Frankensteins, sorry gender surgeons who are raking in the cash now, and the medical negligence lawyers who will be raking in the cash in 5-10 years. Those poor girls. Betrayed by so many adults who should know better. Or do know better, but don’t give a shit.

I think circumcision for anything other than medical reasons is abuse too, along with FGM.

YANBU. It's barbaric. She was 15. 😥

Of course yanbu

Drs should know better than to remove perfectly healthy body parts potentially causing disability ( scar tissue doesn't allow movement so well ).

If i wanted my left arm removed id be sent packing. This should be no different.

Children are too young to be allowed to make such massive, life altering decisions.

In a few years these children will grow up and they will sue and I hope they win.

I mean a grown woman who is adamant she never wants children can't get a hysterectomy because she might change her mind 🙄 but they'll chop body parts off children without pause and give them medications that will affect them for life?

It is all kinds of fucked up.

It is heartbreaking how young girls are having their bodies mutilated.

These so called medical professionals will wind up in prison , I hope.

And who's gonna get the repair job....

These drs make the money whatever the outcome.

I think over time people will look back and think “they did what?!”. As an adult who has had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer I can’t even begin to comprehend how any surgeon who has taken the Hippocratic oath can do such a thing to a healthy body.

In that video she says the doctors said to her parents "Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?"
Isn't that a quote straight from Susie Green at Mermaids Charity?

I find it more heartbreaking that there are people saying just because she regretted it, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen to others.

She was 15 years old. Still legally and biologically a child. She shouldn’t have had this sort of cosmetic surgery just because she felt momentarily in the wrong body.

If she was 25, then fine. But at 15..

I wonder of they'd feel the same way when the inevitable happens. In that of children an consent to this what else can they consent to.

It won't be so great when they cant get their daughters abuser prosecuted will it.

Who does that benefit?

Not the child for sure

It's absolutely horrific. Not considered mature enough to have a tattoo in case they regret it, but the removal of breasts is fine?

So many things that all of us would regret doing if we had permanent consequences at that age. Heck I had tattoos at 18 that I regretted the style of quite quickly - would have had something completely different if making that choice even five years later!

Also to be making decisions like that whilst on hormones. Anyone here have negative reactions to the pill? I went on the pill at that age and felt crazy!

This is the reality of the 'gender affirming healthcare' we're supposed to get behind as good, progressive people. Plus that counselling for girls to explore why they're so desperate to mutilate their female bodies is positioned as 'conversion therapy' and the equivalent to trying to turn gay kids straight.

Also see the 'yeet the teet' doctor who's all over TikTok. This is what are kids are being exposed to and it's absolutely terrifying.

I agreed with a comment on another thread… “this is Frankenstein medicine”.
This is utterly scandalous.
these treatments should be privately funded for over 21’s after 12 months of therapy.

I think 15 years old is too young to make such a permanent choice.

After 18 years old and with extensive psychology treatment/help for some years… if they want to, then yes.

Also agree… only privately funded.

similar to nose, boobs and bum jobs!

However capable they think they are these are children, heavily influenced by peer pressure. Anyone participating in this should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, whether they are the doctor performing the surgery, the school who supported social transition, the legislators who permit and facilitate this, the people who have donated to charities supporting this. Greater opprobrium for the medical profession, though.

Human brains are not at full maturity until 25. That is when, if people really want these procedures, they should be allowed to have them. And even then, there should be intensive counselling beforehand

YANBU !

Of course yanbu. Non-essential cosmetic surgeries (psychological discomfort only) are mostly done on females, often have unpleasant outcomes, are often botched and sometimes even end in death. Girls and women are bombarded with society 's hatred and they internalise it. It's very hard not to.
This medical scandal isn't dissimilar to previous ones where endocrinologists (again) put very short boys and very tall girls with no actual medical condition (more gender nonconformity) on punishing drug regimes to adjust how they grew.
That's largely forgotten, but we have social media now, and also this is bigger. But meddling with kids isn't new.

YANBU 100%.
