The Effect of Gender-affirmative Measures on Breast Perception in Trans Men

Breast dysphoria in transmasculine or genderdiverse individuals is a distinct psychological burden associated with depression, anxiety and suicidality. The aim is to systematically investigate the effect of GAHT (gender-affirming hormone therapy) and mastectomy on this form of dysphoria. The primary objective of this study is to analyse and investigate the psychological and physical effects of breast development on trans men or genderdiverse individuals. A secondary objective is to determine the extent to which the stress affects the well-being of trans men depending on the coping strategies used (binding vs. taping).
