Thanks for digging up the statistic, but seems to confirm that bsder was correct about the relative numbers. >I doubt that they would characterize such a surgery in a cis individual as "gender affirming care" anyway. Right, but they don't characterize it that way purely because the individual is cis. The typical reason for these surgeries is that many boys and men feel uncomfortable having large breasts (even though this is not particularly abnormal in biological terms or a dangerous medical condition). So it is 'gender affirming care' in a pretty literal sense. The person feels that their body conflicts with their gender identity, and the surgery removes or lessens the discrepancy.
