Yes, it is another story equating breast cancer with cosmetic surgery.

www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/12/11/transgender-health-care-patients-advocates-call-improvements/1829307002/

"Grayson Russo desperately needs a surgery similar to a double mastectomy.

Although someone with a breast tumor is able to promptly schedule such a surgery, Russo fought more than three years simply for approval.

That's because Russo experiences gender dysphoria, a discomfort or distress caused by a discrepancy between a person’s gender identity and sex assigned at birth. "

"Russo, 23, of Agoura Hills near Los Angeles, did not get approval for their top surgery until November. A transgender non-binary person, someone who is not male or female, they still have to wait about six months for the procedure. "

I am not sure why non-binary persons should not have breasts, but there you go.

The small but real community of people who want other healthy parts of their body hacked off (body dysmorphia) will struggle to find a surgeon for any price

Absolutely abhor “top surgery” and “bottom surgery”. Mastectomies and castration is what they are.
