Mastectomy is a procedure and form of dismemberment. A mastectomy dismembers one or both of a woman or girl's breasts. Usually, this dismemberment serves the medical purpose of combatting the woman or girl's breast cancer.1-2 Sometimes, the dismemberment serves as gender affirming care to cosmetically disguise the woman or girl's sex. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, protocols exist to commit a cosmetic dismemberment to a female child's breasts: "follow the SOC [Standards of Care] for children and adolescents. . . . published . . . by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).3
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health is a nonprofit that receives millions of dollars every year to promote transgenderism.4 The United States federal government exempts WPATH from taxation.5 WPATH "repudiate[s]" and denounces as "harmful" any attempt to dissuade children from aligning with WPATH's worldview, including WPATH's self-assumed authority for its psychiatrists to declare a child "gender diverse" and, thereby, to assume authority over the child's thoughts and body parts.6 (p. S67) WPATH's psychiatrists promote the scientifically baseless stigma of "autism spectrum disorders and other neurodiversity."6 (p. S70) For that repudiation, WPATH cites, among other sources, the United States Federal Government's declared aim to outlaw any conversations with sexually confused children, except those conversations that promote sterility and population reduction: "Ending Conversion Therapy: Supporting and Affirming LGBTQ Youth"6 (p. S235), 7

Here in the USA, it is generally illegal and a bad idea for anyone but a jurisdiction-licensed physician to give medical advice, anyone but a jurisdiction-licensed attorney to give legal advice, anyone but a jurisdiction-licensed nutritionist or registered dietician to give metabolic advice, and so forth. This website's information is generally incomplete to predict how applying it may affect a given visitor - because the effects depend on the person's unique circumstances and characteristics.
So, here is the only medical, legal, and metabolic advice on this website: None of this website is individualized medical, legal, or metabolic advice. It is general information. You should not try to apply any of this information to your life, unless you know what you are doing. Generally, the governments of USA's jurisdictions (states and territories) declare two things through law:
Obviously, those standards are extremely conservative, if not heavy-handed. However, one should remember that many of those people in government who uphold such strict standards have seen the stuff of nightmares: predictable, preventable, terrible consequences when the least capable and least conscientious people make the worst decisions - whether medically, legally, nutritionally, or otherwise. So, it is not wildly unreasonable to promote - even to legally command - erring on the safe side. Still, various jurisdictions do provide some exceptions to those exceptionally strict standards under law.
Here in Minnesota (and in many other U.S. states and territories) a person can help you with certain aspects of your medical, legal, and metabolic status and circumstances - even when that person is not formally licensed by the jurisdiction. Minnesota, for example, allows various people besides licensed nutritionists and registered dieticians to give metabolic advice and guidance: certain Complementary and Alternative Health Care providers, which Minnesota allows under law. Minn. Stat. ยง 146A. Thus, one need not feel completely locked into the strict standards listed above (though jurisdictions do typically still hold alternative providers to certain basic standards under law). Instead, in the USA, one can discuss the information on this website, and receive guidance about it, from various experts - whether jurisdiction-licensed or not. Meanwhile, this thorough and smart-sounding notice and explanation should not tempt any visitor into having any extra trust for the information in this website. At most, as the saying goes: "trust but verify."
