Activist Who Campaigns Against Transgender “Top Surgery” Now Faces Mastectomy Amid Cancer Battle

“I feel an icy cold panic over the fact that I may lose this part of me,” confessed Amy Sousa, who has a master’s degree in Psychology, after being diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer, an illness that affects more than 300,000 women in the US each year and that can often result in them having to get their breasts removed

For Sousa, the issue is both a health concern as well as an ideological one, as she’s been outspoken against what she perceives as an increase in mastectomies in young girls due to “social indoctrination” rather than gender dysphoria.

“Although I may need it for my own good, this severing is antithetical to the holistic integrity of my embodiment. I have spoken about the values of embodiment as an antithesis to the dissociative values of trans ideology.”
