First, it started with people saying cis women getting breast implants was gender-affirming surgery and at least that kinda made sense on the very surface level. Now people are claiming all plastic surgeries are gender-affirming which made me check whether this was some orchestrated trolling effort. Doesn't seem like it.

Here's the tweet .

    It's worth noting that baldness in men has historical connotations in Western Europe with impotence & powerlessness. This is because the Franks had weird fuckin' inheritance laws that required you to have long hair (as a man) to inherit anything; and disinherited sons were usually tonsured (had your hair shaved) & sent into the clergy, where in the Roman Catholic Church, you can't marry.
