I also agree that the doctor who performed this should be struck off.
Yes, but there are many surgeons carrying out these surgeries, and they are part of a wider issue of extreme body modification via surgery. The cosmetic surgery industry more widely is full of cowboys preying on people's insecurities. Regulation of the sector, especially in the US, is poor to non-existent.
They have a duty to be honest with their patients. This surgery cannot be in anyone's best interests.
Honest would start with using direct language, not twee euphemisms like 'top surgery', something the whole ideology seems to be pathologically incapable of. And no, surgical interventions in what are ultimately mental health issues are not in anyone's best interest and have a dark and dubious history. Seemingly we never do learn from the past.
It’s actually starting to be recognised as a form of domestic abuse: get your partner to transition, then leave them.
I've heard this before and just cannot wrap my head round the idea at all. How could anyone be so cruel?
