"Men don't say 'breast'" (self.ftm)

My gender therapist told me this in response to something I said referencing my chest. It was a while ago but it's stuck with me. I'm wondering what you all think of this comment? The comment felt disqualifying, like I was less male for calling my chest a "breast", or I would be seen as less male because of it, but I can be pretty sensitive so I might be overthinking and she might be right that men don't talk like that.

It is true that man in general don't use, rarely use, term breast when referring to their chest but that doesn't make you any more or less man by calling your chest breast. I mean both words are right to use.
