Her signature dish
Lily Maynard takes an in-depth look at Sidhbh Gallagher, a woman who is making a lot of money cutting girls’ breasts off.
Between 2015 and 2018 she reports that she performed more than 200 surgeries on trans-identified people, removing and reconstructing body parts and tissue in what she calls ‘gender affirmation surgery’.
…
Her practice specialises in performing elective double mastectomies on gender dysphoric young women at a cost of around $9-12,000. ‘Top surgery’ is her signature dish, but there are plenty of other strings to Gallagher’s bow- and she offers something for the lads as well.
She’ll cut their testicles off for a price.
It’s Spring 2018. “Summer is coming!” Gallagher reminds her followers, retweeting photos of a selection of the young women whose healthy breasts she has removed. Once you’ve had your breasts cut off, of course, there’s no need for the T shirt or bikini top that society expects women to ‘cover up’ with. Let the fun times begin!
Hm. Which is more irksome – wearing a T shirt or having your breasts cut off? I think I’m going to go with door number 2.
Lily provides screenshots of a bunch of tweets showing post-mastectomy women enjoying the luxury of being outside with no shirt on, and a string of frivolous remarks by Gallagher about the awesomeness of the surgically-altered chest. Such as:
‘Monday morning masculoplasty motivation! Let’s make shirtless fall pictures a thing!’
That’s not creepy at all.
What about the ones with regrets?
In 2021 Gallagher recorded a short video for LGBTQ and ALL, on the importance of mental health.
She spoke of how some patients experience feelings of guilt or regret – or even become clinically depressed – after surgery. This could happen after any surgery, she hastens to add, but feelings of guilt and regret surrounding elective surgery can make it worse. It’s important
it isto encourage patients to plan in advance ‘while they’re in their right mind’ how they will deal with post-op depression, for example by booking an appointment with their therapist in advance.
Or they could avoid the post-op depression by not getting their tits cut off at all, but Gallagher doesn’t suggest that.
The darker side of ‘top surgery’, the physical and mental health issues that it may cause- or fail to resolve- is not one that young women tend to talk about on social media. Instagram is full of teenage girls who are convinced this surgery will be an answer to all their problems. Expressing regret is a great way to get yourself ostracised from the online community that lovebombs you before your own surgery; from the other girls who would do almost anything to fulfil their own ‘top surgery’ dream.
It sounds like any other cult. Most cults don’t cut women’s breasts off though.
Having your breasts removed with Dr Gallagher costs $9-$12,000. It’s hard to get all, if any of it covered on insurance. Many of Gallagher’s patients have worked two jobs, their parents have remortgaged their houses; some have crowdfunded for their surgery.
But it’s worth it, because you can go outside without a T shirt.
Gallagher has a startling social media presence and an attitude towards her potential clients like no other surgeon I’ve come across. The best word I can think of to describe it is frivolous. Nothing is serious. Everything will be fine! She is the cool, quirky big sister.
Who will happily cut your breasts off, and tweet about it afterwards.
Gallagher’s TikTok account, where she has 191.1k followers and over 4 million ‘likes’, is if anything more surreal, featuring a variety of videos where she skips around like an excited, wide-eyed gazelle, erasing potential problems and complications from your ‘top surgery’ with a swish of the gender fairy’s wand and the occassional swing from a jaunty ponytail.
It’s all just such fun.
Read the whole thing. It’s a long, detailed, horror-filled post, much more than the sample I’ve quoted. Read it all. You’ll regret it but it’s necessary. Not medically necessary, as Gallagher grotesquely insists breast-removal is, but necessary for the sake of resistance to this appalling reckless profit-making slicing and dicing of confused teenagers.
And will Dr Gallagher include a guarantee to bring them back to life if they suicide post-op, after deciding that they should not have had it done, and should have stayed with the body they were born with.?
Oh, this is the “yeet the teats” creep you’ve posted about before.
No need to choose anymore in most places:

Is it wrong that I hope she gets absolutely destroyed by lawsuits in the near future?
Skeletor – it is, but I couldn’t find where I’d posted about her before! I did a search for yeet the teets as well as Gallagher but bupkis.
A watershed personal experience: I attended a gay rights march in DC in the 90s. Not a shirt to be seen on any lesbian present. I was in shock…for about fifteen minutes. All those titties! Oh…They’re just…titties.
Let women go shirtless. It’s one notch up in the betterment of the world.
The previous post is here:

“Teats” is spelled with an “a” (as you should know from writing it all the time as all normal people do).
(Although my joke doesn’t work since it’s misspelled “teets” on the referenced tweet on that page as well.)
What percentage of teenagers are in their right mind? I’m guessing the number approaches zero. Being “in your right mind” (if there is such a thing at all) requires a certain amount of maturity and introspection. I had both of those in spades as a teen, but I still wasn’t mature or introspective enough to make me a responsible adult on deciding medical fate. And when I look back at that time….yikes. Mature is not the first word that comes to mind…I was “mature” as in a teenager that is too mature for teens, but mature? Nope.
Thank you!
I suppose teats are for cows and sows and other crude mammals of that type, while teets are for happy teenagers getting them sliced off by The Butcher of Miami.
Is this the Sidhbh that earned two billion dollars
And marred the topless teets of many a one?
With apologies to the shade of Christopher Marlowe.
The world of gender dysphoria seems to be rather incestuous: Dr Sidhbh has recently taken on as an intern none other than Jazz Jennings who ‘helps with clerical work and assists in speaking with patients who need gender confirmation surgery or other smaller procedures relating to their transition.” https://www.distractify.com/p/jazz-jennings-harvard-major
Jazz Jennings is not doing mentally well and probably would be doing even worse if a TV show didn’t have an interest in propping her up to portray her as a success story.
Getting back to the original article about Gallagher, it occurs to me that I’d probably think she were a great doctor if she truly were doing something medically necessary, such as removing appendixes that were going to burst. Reassuring kids that it’s no big deal, showing how well past patients are doing, having a positive attitude, and almost making the surgery seem fun (“nix that ‘dix!”)? Great! That’s probably how she sees herself.
Then the article notes that many of her victims have visible self-harm scars. Couple that with the “necessity” of this surgery being based on a feeling they have, and I wonder if she ever has any self-doubt. She certainly should.
Or even if she were doing truly necessary / helpful plastic surgery. Children with cleft palates for instance, burn victims, women who’ve had acid thrown in their faces. Cases where there’s vanishingly low likelihood of regrets. Chopping the tits off angsty teenage girls is not like that.
