""Gynecomastia - an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in boys or men - is expected to impact half of all men at some point in their lives, with Dr. Claudia Kim, chief medical officer and lead cosmetic surgeon at New Look New Life in Manhattan, confirming that since 2020 there's been a "steep increase" in men going ahead with the surgery.""
""Anti-trans pundits have continually raised their voices against gender-affirming treatments, despite the fact studies have shown that there's scant evidence reporting that trans people regret their gender-affirming care, including top surgery.""

Gynecomastia affects about half of men at some point, and cosmetic surgeons report a steep increase in cis men seeking surgery since 2020. Social media users highlight that the procedure is identical to gender-affirming top surgery and emphasize the barriers and disparities trans people face when accessing the same care.
