TigerPaws- I said *women* with beards, not men with beards. I am sure there are many attractive men with beards, haha. I gave the example of women with beards as an analogy for how men with breasts are seen by society.

We get it. You don't view gynecomsatia or any other deformity negatively, neither do we. We are using the word "deformity" without a negative connotation, in it's proper context. The sky is not falling, we are not persecuting the disabled. We are simply stating the facts, in an objective way. This is necessary in order to actually accept the condition as well as to seek out a solution.

"Facts" as you call it are subject to interpretation, gynecomastia is not a deformity, abnormality or disability. A man can not die or fail to function personally or in society with gynecomastia.

If a man chooses to have a purely cosmetic surgery then that is his choice and he will live with what happens afterword, be that good, bad or tragic.

I have often read on this forum that men are asking for "support", well support comes from a quality compression garment be that a bra or something else.

Sympathy is located in the dictionary between Shit and Syphilis.

People need to grow up and take control of their life, to make decisions for themselves and to stop looking to others for answers and Sympathy.

Information is what people need and answers to their questions so that they are able to make an intelligent, informed decision.

Crying, whoa is me because I have itty-bitty-tities (or in some cases not so itty-bitty) is at best self defeating and self destructive.

I love how the theme of every one of your posts seems to be that facts are open to interpretation, and somehow the definitions of words are rough guidelines to follow at best. Just because you do not personally identify subjectively with the idea that gynecomastia is a deformity, does not make you right. Look up the definition of "deformity" and look up the definition of "abnormal" and then look up the definition of "fact". The fact is you are wrong, it's not open to interpretation, and ALL of the evidence backs up my previous statements. If you choose to deny facts, fine. Just don't don't spew it on to every thread. But just for the sake of argument, how about you show all of us some legitimate evidence that shows that it is not a deformity? Or how about that it is normal? And not in an anecdotal way, a factual way. There is a mountain of evidence that I can quote to prove what I am saying, I think you will find it a little more difficult.

I ask again "What is Normal"? Is being shorter than the global average "abnormal and therefore deformed"? Is being taller than the global average "abnormal and therefore deformed"? There are many "normals" it depends on where you are in the world.

What in your opinion is a deformity? How do you define "normal". Dictionaries and definitions have been changed over time, so which definition do you cling to?

Gynecomastia has been around for many tens of thousands of years, it is only in the past few years that there has been a surgical procedures to change a persons appearance. Be that for larger breasts, a smaller nose or for gynecomastia.

Are you saying that for tens of thousands of years men have been deformed by something as natural as enlarged breast tissue?

Dig the quotes TigerPaws. This is a place where everyone is welcome even if they have differing opinions. Anyone know how to delete a thread? This has caused too much strife.

[hammer]

I beleave that the person that started the thread has the option to delete the thread.  Look at the bottom tool bar when you are signed into the thread. I looked at one of my own threads and there is a red area at the bottom with a X though it that says remove or delete thead. I have not tried it, but that may work.

I just typed and deleted about 12 things I really wanted to say but would just be counterproductive, make this situation worse, and just not worth it. Against all will, I'm keeping my mouth shut.

I would say having astigmatism is a deformity (or Wikipedia calls it an "optical defect") but I would also say it is very common. I wouldn't say it's "normal". Either way, gynecomastia falls in to this exact same category. You can ignore it, "hide" it (with glasses/contact lenses) or correct it (with surgery). If you are sick of hiding it, consider surgery.
