There was a long running thread at the time that this was reported; this is a good analysis of it. The testosterone bit is concerning, as is the other drugs.

Excellent article. But IF its true, as I profoundly hope it isn't - what kind of person puts their validation over the health and wellbeing of their own newborn child?

This is rhetorical, obvs. But when I think about the hours I spent struggling to bf, considering formula for my really tiny baby, torturing myself that I was failing my child... Much as I wanted to bf because I thought it was best for the baby, I'd have switched in a heartbeat if I thought another option was better.

At the time I remember a trans friend discussing this. They said how it was a dream for them but they'd never do it given the risks to the child weren't clear. It was a public post and the actual personal transphobic hate they got in response was shocking. They'd said they didn't agree ffs.
I think only the most unhinged would think this acceptable.
