"Men don't say 'breast'" (lemmy.world)

My gender therapist told me this in response to something I said referencing my chest. It was a while ago but it's stuck with me. I'm wondering what you all think of this comment? The comment felt disqualifying, like I was less male for calling my chest a "breast", or I would be seen as less male because of it, but I can be pretty sensitive so I might be overthinking and she might be right that men don't talk like that.

As an observation, I think it's valid. As a criticism of any kind, it's shit.

I refer to my man boobs, sure, but don't really say breasts. It is what it is, anecdotally of course.

But I also don't know I'd even notice if a friend of mine said something about his breast.

Also not trans, just want to be part of the conversation.
