@rhettinamc @vallete_la @JEBolding @azeen There is no difference. "Top surgery" is a skin sparing mastectomy that removes all the functional breast tissue. Which cannot be reversed.

@hencough @azeen I distinctly remember leftists (rather hard-leftists) doing this. The article was quite well balanced.

@MerkinMuffley5 Only if bots want to see controversial documentaries (the best kind).

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@alyssakeiko @azeen I think you would find the comments to the article very interesting Alyssa.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@MerkinMuffley5 The article in the New York Times was excellent. Hopefully it will be picked up so it can be streamed as it sounds very interesting.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@hencough @azeen As I recall the hospital denies surgeries were happening on patients younger than 18, which wasn't the case. In any event this is a distraction from the NYT article.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@rivbutcher It's an article about bilateral pediatric mastectomy for young girls who are likely not truly transgender but rather hate their own bodies due to internalized misogyny. It's not about trans adults. So relax.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@rivbutcher There are a number of comments in comments to the article from trans people that were quite interesting.

The Pride Center near Gainesville, FL was severely vandalized yesterday, with rocks thrown through their windows and anti-LGBTQ messages left behind. The far-right has become particularly active in Florida since the election of Ron DeSantis and the start of his war on trans kids.

@littlebluena @azeen I will - what's your question?

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@_pem_pem The article is about bilateral pediatric mastectomy in children not cognitively able to make informed decisions about this surgery, not about whether or not transgender people should exist. Read the comments to the article.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@ErisApparent @gp_jls @mollyknefel Other pediatric surgeries are primarily done to treat medical conditions, not mental illness. Breast augmentations are reversible and not permanent like bilateral pediatric mastectomies.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@HallGrae @mollyknefel @chasestrangio Why does the transgender cult direct so much misogyny at feminists (women) and young girls?

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@hencough @azeen Of course it was - that was the whole Libs of TikTok scandal (that kids under 18 were getting mastectomies). Come on.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@littlebluena @azeen That's not what the article is about.

@aspensthought @Esqueer_ The article clearly states that WPATH has been discredited.

[Libby Lester @lesterliblester]

@Esqueer_ The same misogyny that the transgender cultists lob at feminists is what they use to pressure young girls to hate their own bodies and seek out bilateral pediatric mastectomies.
