      Nah, you are in fact ignorant and wrong on this one -- Jesse's big scary smoking gun on this is a chart showing a handful of people in LA getting top surgery (breast reduction surgery), which is NOT genital surgery, because breasts are not genitals

      And it is not actually that uncommon for cis teenage girls to get top surgery, far from it being illegal It made the cover of People magazine when Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) got top surgery at the age of 15 https://people.com/archive/cover-story-now-i-can-be-free-vol-39-no-16/ …

      She also had a pretty specific medical condition that isn't super-duper uncommon, if I recall correctly.

      Well, okay, this gets into the whole philosophical thing with "medical conditions" Yes, she was diagnosed with a "condition" that was the justification for "fast-tracking" the surgery because it wasn't a mere "cosmetic procedure"

      (However, it bears re-emphasizing that "cosmetic" procedures, with parental consent, *are* completely legal and relatively normalized for teenagers -- my HS girlfriend got facial reconstructive surgery when she was 17)

      That said, the name of the "condition" was "gigantomastia", which is just Greek for "breasts too big" There is no specific "underlying" condition that makes gigantomastia gigantomastia -- it is simply defined by breasts being too big

      This is, obviously, a socially defined medical condition It's bad to have breasts too big because hardly anyone else has breasts that big so people make fun of you and you feel weird going out in public and it sucks

      And the line between gigantomastia ("giant breasts", breasts so big they'll rule it a "medical issue" right away) and macromastia ("big breasts", where there's a lot more gatekeeping involved) and not having a "medical condition" at all is socially defined, it's arbitrary

          Obviously, yes, there's physical symptoms too -- back pain, itching, sweating, chafing, all that good stuff That's a spectrum of stuff that happens to anyone who has breasts, and how much it bugs you and whether it's "worth it" to have surgery is a matter of opinion

          (And, yes, a matter of gender identity You'll notice that if a cis man has breasts at all and they bother him they just go ahead and call it "gynecomastia" ("breasts like a woman") and approve medical treatment regardless of whether they're "macro-" or "giganto-")

          it should be noted that having breasts to heavy for your frame to support can actually lead to fairly serious medical issues, so it isn't completely arbitrary.

          though from what I understand there usually is a ton of gatekeeping unless you meet a certain size threshold or have already developed spinal problems and whatnot.

          And the diagnosis criteria to get covered by insurance is basically whether your back and shoulders hurt and it's not improved by physical therapy, which is frequently a question of there not being bras on the market that fit because the bra industry in the US is shitty.

          There's also a whole discussion to be had about surgeons refusing to go as small as people ask for, which is a frequent complaint on reddit, because plastic surgeons are more concerned about what future male sex partners might want than what the woman getting a reduction asks for

          There's another complication, which is that it's hard to find a good size range of bras in many parts of the world. Victoria's Secret doesn't cut it. Many people suffer in 38DD when what they really need is 30HH, but can't get the right size because it's not available.

          Most bra shops carry around 20 - 30 sizes, but that doesn't reflect the needs of the population. The average bra size is around 32FF / 34F, but most shops don't even carry that size, even though it's at the top of the bell curve. A comprehensive size range is around 190 sizes.

          I once consulted at a plastic surgeon's office, where particular middle-aged men brought in underaged "daughters" for breast enhancement surgery. Everyone knew these minors weren't daughters, but they were waved through the process because $$$. Making boobs LARGER? No problem.
