"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.

Am male, been so for 5 decades.

We all say "breast," anyone who denies this is the weird one.

We do say breast, however, myself and most males I know rarely refer to their chest as their breast. Still a little odd their therapist felt like pressing this issue though.
