Freddy is an idiot. Freddy thinks that “old school gender clinicians” and “cis normative society” denied Freddy the knowledge that removing breast and nipple tissue would result in being unable to use that tissue for its primary purpose. Freddy is an idiot to think we will believe Freddy wasn’t told or consented for this. Any woman who has breast reduction surgery is consented around the potential impact on future breastfeeding. So I find it hard to believe a surgeon didn’t discuss it.
But say it’s true, Freddy is an idiot if Freddy wasn’t told directly but didn’t understand this, given it’s something nearly every human on the planet understands. No breasts, no breastfeeding.
Freddy was 28 in 2014, but didn’t understand the implications? And the clinicians in 2014 were “old school”? Come off if Freddy.
And Freddy is also an idiot for posting something like that and not realising it demonstrates Freddy’s horrific hypocrisy.
Firstly, Freddy is a hypocrite by demonstrating how irreversible procedures can lead to future regret while AT THE SAME TIME campaigning for CHILDREN to undergo irreversible treatment that won’t even allow a female to get to the breastfeeding stage (because Freddy thinks children should get puberty blockers and testosterone which will mean these females are infertile.)
And second, Freddy is a hypocrite for blaming the lack of information about the implications of such irreversible procedures on “old school gender clinicians” and “cis normative society” while failing to acknowledge it is TRAs all around Freddy who are completely denying the implications of affirmative treatments, pretending with a hand wave it’s something that be fixed later, while it is everyone gender critical who is screaming this from rooftops, desperately trying to prevent young females from making the same irreversible decisions Freddy is now regretting and blaming on others.
28 year old Freddy wasn’t adequately consented for surgery, apparently. 28 year old Freddy wanted to be told specifically that even though 28 year old Freddy couldn’t even “conceive [the idea] of parenthood”, Freddy wanted to be specifically told that the surgery to remove the organs used for breastfeeding would impact possible future breastfeeding. Is Freddy arguing that had that mystical information that was withheld by “old school gender clinicians” been more freely given then 28 year old “couldn’t conceive of parenthood” Freddy would have given a different answer? 
Let’s say, for argument’s sake, the answer is that Freddy would have declined the mastectomy technique as offered. The solution argued is that more information is the key to better choices.
But let’s look at children. A key part of the Keira Bell judgment was that it doesn’t matter how much information you give to children, it still doesn’t change their capacity to truly understand it. 28 year old Freddy went ahead with surgery and without the most basics of human physiology being spelled out in intimate detail, Freddy feels now that had that information been available Freddy would have made a different decision.
But here’s the clincher: look at the Instagram post again. Freddy thinks that if Freddy had the time all over again, Freddy would have asked for the nipples to remain intact. Freddy thinks that if the breast tissue had been removed and nipples had been left, then all of Freddy’s current breastfeeding woes and lack of supply wouldn’t be an issue. Freddy still wondered if some milk might have been produced.
So Freddy has had 7 years to think about the implications after it has happened, has thought about the information given prior to surgery, has given birth, but still seemingly has NO FUCKING CLUE that once the breasts were removed that there was never going to be any milk! Freddy couldn’t even adequately consent now to this procedure because Freddy still doesn’t understand.
Seven years! Still no understanding! Despite it happening to Freddy’s own body!
How the HELL can children understand?!
