Why don't we just cut to the chase and decide that being a woman is, in and of itself, a disease?

I just loved how they described pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding as "severe physical trauma" and not the natural phenomena that they are.

I can understand on one level the desire for surgery when you're frustrated with your physical appearance. Some people just can't or won't accept a redifinition of beauty and of self, which is sad. But to add to that by describing motherhood as severe trauma just adds a whole 'nuther disturbing level.
