Laura Becker is one of a rapidly growing number of young women and girls who are being given mastectomies – or ‘top surgery’ – after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria. She added: ‘Parts of my body that I had never even really gotten a chance to appreciate or understand or respect or use… I’ll never be able to experience that intact female form.’Laura Becker creates designs that advocate for “Detransitioner Awareness,” and her hand-drawn salamander art is used emblematically for the annual Detransitioner Awareness Day.
