Gynecomastia, breasts, it's all the same boobs.

Yes he can affirmatively state that I suffer from gynecomastia.

Suffer ? Could he explain suffer ?

A man with boobs has a condition commonly referred to as gynecomastia.

So given that I'm a man I suffer from that condition because I have well developed breasts.

No, I'm not getting it.

I mean if now, at this very same moment, he was to write a hormonal MTF treatment prescription then those would instantly become breasts, right ?

Yes, kind of yes. But that's a different chapter.

Female breasts (left) and gynecomastia (right)
are two different names for the same anatomy.

Ok, got that. Now is there really that much of anatomic difference between genetic female and genetic male breasts ?

In fact quite nothing. Female and male breassts are the same. Women have significantly higher levels of estrogen that causes the breast tissue to enlarge and the breasts to develop. This besides, they're the same.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere.

And what about if I am a genetic male who lovingly managed to grow breasts without surgery or magic pills ?

Confusion. Officially, yes, it's gynecomastia and I could opt to have them knifed out for my own comfort.

And if I swallow prescription hormones then ? Those very same gynecomastia boobs will be referred to as breasts. Precisely without major changes except probably larger size and shape.

Back to nowhere. What's BTW the purpose of this consultation ? A scheduled check-up or my boobs?

Couldn't he notice the still visible marks on my skin ? Because, happens that I took off my bra while disrobing for the check-up.

Confusion. Yes, happens, many men resort to bras as a temporary relief before treatment.

No Doc, that ain't gonna work here. No knives nor psychological support needed. That's just how I elected to be.

Suddenly I feel pity for that young doctor. His intentions are pure, he does his job at his best. Seeks to provide relief in what I understand can be a very oppressive situation for most men.

Yep, he's not a bad soul, just new on the job. Not yet broken to dare an escape from social conditionning.

Could I maybe tell him how's on the other side of the mirror ?

Yes indeed however short version, he has a scchedule to keep. Like 5 minutes ?

Each day comes with it's own set of surprises. About one hour ago I'met a new doctor. Now I have a new friend.

And the confirmation that genetic male and genetic female boobs are one and the same thing, size only matters.
