Our experiences are different. And it doesn't matter what gender a person identifies as or whether they objectify a woman's body or not - nobody else has the right, unless specifically invited, to have an opinion on what is right or wrong for another person's body.* Nobody. This is not a matter of gender, it is a matter of individual autonomy and the right to choose completely independently without more or less well-meaning "advice".
*I'm not talking about medical opinions by medical professionals here. Of course an oncologist can say to a patient that radiation or surgery is the right thing for them.
