Mail on Sunday: Top surgeon says sex-change breast removals are 'up tenfold in decade - mostly on teenagers and early-20s'

Sanchez Manning is another journalist who's been at this topic, with another article today:

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11473279/Top-surgeon-says-sex-change-breast-removals-tenfold-decade.html

• Philip Rubin revealed he carries out twenty double mastectomies a month
• Mr Rubin revealed patients are five to ten years younger than last decade
• Some of the patients referred for reassignment surgery are still in their teens

The juxtaposition of that article and the one on gynaecological waiting lists further down underlines the absolute hatred for women that this is based on.

Thanks Rex

Mr Rubin said patients who have passed puberty and decide to have sex change surgery rarely regret their decision, according to a large-scale international study. He said only one patient during the whole of his career has regretted a breast removal procedure.

Stephanie Davies-Arai, of campaign group Transgender Trend, said it was 'far too early to say whether this generation will regret their actions'.

I notice that Mr Rubin, who makes his money removing perfectly healthy breasts from young women, doesn't provide the study details to back up his assertion that these young women rarely regret their decision!

I remember reading that breast reduction has the greatest satisfaction rate in cosmetic surgery as well. It's an indictment of the experience of having breasts in society that it's so negative for so many women.

She's great.

I too, would like to see what this surgeon bases his ‘No regrets’ claim on. Because how many patients does he expect to ever see who have detransitioned? Seems like he is very well protected from it. He would see the patients again usually. So lives detached from the reality of the future opinions of his patients.

I would assume, as a scientist, that Mr Rubin has done appropriate follow up work with his patients over an appropriate time period before issuing such a strong statement? Or maybe not 🙄

What are they going to do if they are unhappy, anyway? It's too late once they've been removed.

And despite what some TRAs seem to believe, you can't just take the magic lady pills and have them grow back.

IIRC breast reduction has a positive effect as large breasts can be painful and cause back pain.

Breast removal is something completely different. I'd love to see this doctors long term follow up study too.
