Slice and dice

There’s a Facebook page called Topsurgery by Miles. It’s what it sounds like. Guy posts before and after photos of breast amputations.

Last year he posted a bit of inspiration:

19th century advice; equally relevant today

Be yourself…by getting your breasts cut off.

    I wonder what breast cancer survivors think about unnecessary voluntary double mastectomies.

    And what the hell is that statue supposed to mean?

    John, that is Oscar Wilde’s tomb, a Jacob Epstein sculpture. It’s a symbolic image of a winged messenger modelled to give the impression that the messenger is flying. Quite how that ties in with unnecessary double mastectomies is anybody’s guess, and I can’t quite understand how the Wilde quote is relevant either. I’d have thought that being oneself wouldn’t involve carving oneself up in an attempt to be somebody else.

    You won’t be surprised that there’s no evidence Oscar Wilde ever uttered anything like the words Mr Mutilator attributes to him.
