@MedievalNDs @nbrink77 @speakoutsister You may think that but I couldn't possibly comment. I don't care if people mutilate their bodies. I can have an opinion though, being, it doesn't matter what you cut off, you can't change what you were born.

Fourteen women who'd had breast cancer posed for a photoshoot showing their bodies after mastectomy precisely to show they are empowered. Even though they've been seriously ill As ever you don't speak for everyone.
Janet Murray@jan_murray

Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council), As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display. I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal. Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated. They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive. Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure. Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation. If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice. I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason. What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated. I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this: Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering. Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating. For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media. Yours sincerely, Janet Murray

@ChelleR18 @speakoutsister I just don't like them :3 They irritate me to no end and I despise being reminded I have them. I like them on others, just not me. Simple as that :p

@ChelleR18 @AntlerChu Why is how anyone else feels about their own body any of your business? Oh it isn't. Do you say this to people who have breast reduction? Or lose 10 stones?

@speakoutsister @AntlerChu No your right it isn't but opinions are like arseholes, every body has one and I'm just like you are entitled to it. Don't have to like it. Don't have to agree. Now do me a favour and return to having your head up your arse.

The idea that trans people cannot be represented in media/advertisement is absurd. Trans people exist. They aren’t going anywhere. Scream into the Twitter void all you want, it won’t change this reality. Not everything is meant for you, and that’s okay. Leave trans people alone

@speakoutsister Oh do pipe down. If you cut your boobs off and think you're suddenly a man, you're delusional.

@ChelleR18 @speakoutsister I mean thinking "Wow I hate that things grew on me and wish they were gone!" And despising them on me possibly to the point of surgically removing them "shits and giggles." In that vein, What's your opinion on tats? Or piercings? Or other body mods?

@AntlerChu @speakoutsister Why? It's nothing to do me. I just happen to think that it's not a good thing to carve into healthy flesh for shit and giggles but crack on

@fleeto91 @speakoutsister Oh where did I say ban it? I don't have to like their reason or agree. Funny that. I also said that breast augmentation isn't a necessity. Don't recall confirming my state of euphoria for having it done.

@ChelleR18 @speakoutsister I’m not being flippant. I’m accurately pointing out you are happy for women to get their breasts increased or reduced for all sorts of reasons - including cosmetic, societal pressure or dysmorphia - but want to ban it for trans people because you don’t like their reasons.

@ChelleR18 @speakoutsister Can you explain your obsession with healthy breast tissue and why you think it means people need to treat their own healthy breast tissue in a way that you approve of

@fleeto91 @speakoutsister One is not the same as the other so don't be flippant. Women having a breast reduction are doing it for other reasons not specifically because they think it will make them a man.

@ChelleR18 @speakoutsister Ok. So you’re fine with women increasing their breast size for whatever reason. But not reducing them. Bad news for women with back pain or who dislike having large breasts - got to hold onto that healthy breast tissue, yes?

@fleeto91 @speakoutsister I don't think it's a necessity but then again you're not having healthy breasts removed when made bigger.

@speakoutsister Oh I have no idea save for cutting off perfectly healthy breasts in the belief you'll be a bloke is as stupid and having your dick turned inside out makes a man a woman. No one should be cutting healthy parts off their body and to celebrate it is abhorrent.

@speakoutsister I think it's more to do with women having perfectly healthy breasts removed in the deluded belief it makes them male.
