title: Suction to the breasts of a transsexual male.
abstract: Patients attending gender dysphoria clinics may report attempts to hasten the transition to the preferred gender. This may involve ingestion of higher quantities of hormones than prescribed or acts of self-mutilation to the genitals. A case is reported of an attempt to encourage breast-tissue development using a sink plunger.
