""go into the fitting room and get so emotional and frustrated because no matter what I wore, [my breasts] were still so prominent.""
Breast reduction surgery is the most popular plastic surgery among cisgender men in the United States. Gynecomastia affects almost half of men at some point, often from hormonal imbalance, and is not physically harmful. Many men describe the surgery as life-changing and recount chest-related dysphoria, including wearing two shirts in hot weather and emotional distress in fitting rooms. Transgender advocates note a double standard in acceptance of chest-altering procedures for cisgender versus transgender people. Public reactions include social media commentary highlighting perceived inconsistency in approval of gender-affirming care.
