Wouldn't this rationale be equally applicable to a push up bra? Or really literally any garment that makes you look closer to the ideal of whatever gender you are? Like I bet there are plenty of cis men that would love to smooth their man boobs down so they look more like the ideal image of a man and numerous women that want to push up their little boobies into something that looks more "womanly" isn't that gender affirming care too?

Gender affirming care will only be restricted to products and procedures that threaten fragile cis male egos. Minoxidil for example will continue to be made available for men because it upholds the status quo.

Irony, reason, and fairness do not factor into the fascist world view. The men you're referring to with body image issues are going to be expected to conform to Pete Hegseth's totally not gay standards of male appearance.

men that would love to smooth their man boobs down

Fun fact, men with gynecomastia were the original market for binders, and Underworks (a major binder manufacturer) still primarily manufacturers for them. At some point Underworks spun off a site for their transmasc customers but it's still the same product.

ah but you see these would make men's pps go hard for people with uteruses so they can pop out the new masterrace not "sex-rejecting" degenerates that only make men horny and confused since how will they live without being able to inseminate barely pubescent girls like it's the ritual for the pedophile party?

or worse still "healthy girls" that dare to reject their god appointed goal of having babies by "mutilating" their bodies (ie Irreversible Damage) will not be able to contribute to the expansion of the master race and then the "great replacement" theory will finally occur in its full effect and the white race will be no more...
