UK Kiwis, you’ll be pleased to know that your tax pounds pay for over 1,000 pooner mastectomies a year, with 80% aged between 17-25, according to a new story in The Telegraph. The number of rotdogs installed on the NHS in 2021-23 was 780.

The effect of this life-saving surgery to remove healthy breasts?
A recent systematic review of mastectomies for gender dysphoria, led by McMaster University and published by the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, found there was “very low certainty evidence” for their outcomes.
Ms Abbruzzese said: “It is extremely unusual for there to be a surgical intervention when there are so many unknowns.
“We don’t know why so many more young women are identifying as trans and we don’t know what the future holds for these young people if we just slow down.
“In that situation, medical intervention that is so irreversible and with clear harms typically would not normally be offered.
“The systematic review has found that despite several decades of doing this surgery, and over 1,300 studies published, there is no evidence that it improves mental health and overall functioning.”
