Plastic surgery.
What are you saying, that plastic surgery is gender affirming care, because it is in most cases. Exemptions would be things like a rhinoplasty for breathing impairments, but if done for looks it would fall under gender affirming care.
Where’s the line between vanity and “self-affirmation”? Not a leading question.
Gender is defined by a cultural perception, so all attractiveness would be encompassed within the cultural perception. So a lady who gets her breasts augmented wouldn’t essentially matter whether it is to self affirm or vanity or to attract others, it would all just fall into what culture taught that person was appealing.
I’m sure there are many that would pick my wording apart or disagree, but maybe that answers some of your question? Self affirmation and vanity I would say are not mutually exclusive though, there is overlap.
Vanity is making sure others like what they see of you; self-affirmation is making sure you like what you see of you.
I’m not sure that’s accurate.
Then correct it.
theneverfoxWhat’s the line between society and the individual? That’s the core question here
If you can answer that I can probably give you a hint, but it’s a concept that can’t be taught, only learned. And it’s an important one, worth thinking over… It’s subjective, but key to understanding your own existence
snooggumsBreast augmentation is vanity.
Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy is self-affirmation.
