It’s a convincing argument, that abortion/hysterectomy/mastectomy are all choices and women should be allowed to choose them... but they’re not all quite the same thing. Women have abortions because they can’t carry on with a pregnancy for whatever reason. It’s ultimately a health issue. Same for hysterectomy: it’s major surgery with serious lifelong consequences (end of fertility / start of premature menopause; risk of osteoporosis, etc) and it isn’t chosen lightly. Usually it’s because conditions like endometriosis make life genuinely intolerable... and even THEN a woman has to fight tooth and nail to get a surgeon to agree to it.
Choosing to have unnecessary surgery to cut off one’s breasts for no reason other than
I‘m trans and I don’t like them is different. Choices aren’t made in a vacuum, and you have to ask yourself why women (
young women in the main, ROGD teen girls most likely) are compelled to do this. What is it about our culture that compels young women to opt out of being female? I can think of tons, because I would have been all over this “enby” shit when I was a teen in the late 90s (<cough>). Plenty of adult women would say the same. Even JK Rowling said the same. None of this is exactly new. The difference now is that girls can act upon their temporary feelings and fuck themselves up for life.
Kiera Bell is in the High Court in London today regarding her case against the NHS for allowing puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and a double mastectomy when she was a minor. This is going to be really fucking interesting:
