Also- it's not only trans people who feel strongly about their gender and wish their body fit it more. Cis men often wish their voices were deeper, or they had a more chiseled jawline. These are stereotypes just as much as anything else. Cis woman get breast enhancement surgery for gender affirming reasons! It makes them feel good! But when trans women get the same exact thing, or a trans man gets chest reduction surgery, people say it's mutilation. Its the same thing for the same reason!!

Exactly. In the same way that 12 year old girls shouldn't be getting breast implants because they want to fit some toxic stereotypes associated with being female, they also shouldn't be getting breast removal because they think this somehow transforms them towards being male. It's all harmful nonsense. All of these damaging stereotypes and unhealthy body ideals should be challenged. Instead, the trans activist movement has taken this set of regressive ideals and asserted that this is what women and men actually are. But instead of stating this directly, they obfuscate it behind "gender identity". It's ludicrous.
