No, she propose to ban cosmetic breast implants.
If a woman have her breast damaged by an injury or something, the reconstruction is not unhealthy but healthy: it's just repairing the damages she have, for her psychological wellbeing.

Mayonnaise can be even more unhealthy than breast implants, if used all days.
But we have the chance to use it just only few times in a month, making it harmless.
Breast implants: when you undergone the surgery, then you have it, all days.

Also please don't ban ketchup. My choice to eat ketchup isn't informed by structural oppression. Promise.

You can't tax freedom, CM.

indeed my idea is not about a ban, is about performing a good societal pressure in order to counteract a bad social pressure: massive awareness campaign + taxation.

So you're saying a woman shouldn't have the right to get bigger breasts just because she wasn't mutilated?

I'm saying we should put social pressure on discouraging women (who aren't mutilated or affected by serious psychological illness about their image) to get bigger breasts.
This good social pressure is needed to counteract a pre-existing bad social pressure on women, enforced by our patriarchal society and meant to please males.
Also, I think there's no need for women to perform such unhealthy things, because, as another poster have already, maybe unwillingly, explainedYorkvale wrote:Granted out of all the men in the world there are more than one that would take any woman regardless of the size of their breasts.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the following I think CM would actually be supportive of trans women obtaining breast augmentation with no cost at the point of access:People with serious body image problems is the most hurted by social pressure: given they have a REAL mental problem, certified I mean, I think they should have FREE surgeries.

Which is, if I'm on track, actually a fairly pro-trans* position.

I saw her acknowledge that she knew relatively little about trans* issues, and the designation has been removed. So perhaps she's abandoned TERF after learning more about those issues, and now is only a SWERF? Mind you, I'm against SWERF as much as I am TERF, but we're concerned here with the TERF. Maybe she's changed her tune and would now object to gatekeeping? I can understand that there's plenty of cause for sincere doubt, but maybe? Possibly?
