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 .

    Like, I hope we all can agree that the fact people are getting plastic surgery isn’t always good and a lot of times it reflects that there’s something wrong with societal beauty standards?

    That doesn't make them not gender affirming surgery tho

    It is almost like beauty standards and gender are intertwined in our culture

      This seems like an obviously true statement, but I can't really grasp what you specifically mean by that.

        People can do things because of gender dsyphoria, and gender dsyphoria can be created by culturally enforced gender standards, of which beauty standards are a part
