There is an age old debate on BME as to whether or not breast implants fall into the same category of body modification as the mods more frequently covered on BME. The point that is usually argued is that breast implants are done to fit into societies ideals, whereas tattoos and piercings are more or a rebellion to those same ideals. Of course, since those original arguments were made tattoos and piercings have become a major part of mainstream society. Whether it be the extremely common piercings or the tattoo imagery that is now printed on everything from t-shirts to high end purses, our subculture is quickly being integrated into mainstream culture.
Well these pictures certainly qualify as body modification, by any sense of the definition. A masculine appearing man getting breast implants, now that is going against societies norm! Well unless you do it for money.
These pictures were submitted in 2004 by IAM:manybodiedman (who no longer appears to be on IAM).
For 2 more shots of these implants, keep on keeping on.

Maybe they make him happy. I certainly know I would enjoy having some of my own.

I just want to say, I HONESTLY just put on a binder 10 minutes ago in an attempt to make myself flatter, I’m genderqueer but have no real plans of transitioning, but I myself would love some chest work done, I think if its what he wants, I’m happy for him. As I hope he’d [it says he retired from iam, but hypothetically] would be happy for me when I get rid of the things that haunt me and wreck my back and make me unable to hug anyone without discomfort… I’m sure there are as many reasons for implants as there are for reductions… I would imagine that it would have cost a pretty penny though, most operations aren’t covered for trans people and that’s life or death to them, so if it’s purely aesthetic for a cisgendered person, then it must’ve come from his own pocket.

The world of gender-queer is a wild and woolly one with people rocking every possible place along the various scales. It’s cool what he’s done and we can only guess what his personal motivations are in doing so.

#2, you seem to have overlooked the link explaining why he got teh boobeez.
“…stated that he believed it wasn’t really that uncomfortable or unfortunate for a woman to get implants, which inspired his friend to “dare” him to get implants for himself in order to prove his point. .. immediately agreed, and the two negotiated a pseudo-bet. At that time both … and his friend agreed that the discussion was hypothetical and more of a joke.
Later in that same year however, …took some investment advice from this same friend and lost a considerable amount. Looking to regain the funds he told the friend that it was time to honor his bet. While the two debated the point, bringing others into the debate to help them decide, they finally agreed to official terms and the “bet” was on.”

BME doesn’t cover implants because there are websites that are much better suited and dedicated to that stream of body modification.
It’s a iffy situation since we cover ear reconstructions and tattoo removal but that’s more of a before/after archive of removing body modifications so I guess that’s why it slips in under the radar.
I’d love to have a whole section of plastic surgery (mostly because Dr.’s sites don’t post good high res photos and the subject matter fascinates me!
