A transwoman feeding their new born baby with their own milk..

@Clymene I never said male breasts could produce the same quantities of ilk as female breasts. I don't think breasts have been designed to do anything. We evolved.

Female breasts have certainly evolved to produce greater quantities of milk with less intervention than male breasts. But male breasts can and do produce milk.

Fewer than 1 in 4 human infants are exclusively fed breastmilk at 6 weeks in England.

Its a fair point that introducing supplementary feeding from co-breastfeeding could interrupt supply for the other parent @WarriorN but that is presumably also a risk for lesbian parents who co-breastfeed. If it is a risk both parents are aware of and take into account in their decision-making presumably thats OK. If one parent bullies the other to allow them to breastfeed the baby at a cost to the other that isn't but that is because bullying is not OK.

I don't think we can conclude that "as seems common with children in families with trans identified parents, the adults' feelings and priorities are placed above the infants." How do families make decisions about infant feeding? They seem quite personal to me and we simply don't know how these decisions are reached in private.

Anything is possible if you fill somebody to the brim with drugs. I mean, look at Donald Trump.

This previous thread is pertinent, but comes with a serious warning.

I wouldn't be able to read if I was feeding a newborn or young baby.

Simple Biology.

Putting aside the debate on trans parents and whether this is right or wrong - I’m seriously impressed that this is physically possible. I’m no biology expert, so I had no idea that breast milk could be produced in somebody born without the female reproductive system. Medical science is amazing👏

I've never seen a bigger Red Flag EVER

I agree with the drug laden ''Milk'' that will be forced into the mouth of that poor unfortunate child.

Formula would be much safer than this artificially produced secretion.

Two very interesting Twitter threads on this topic with links to relevant studies from a (GC) biologist:

The threads are in German but you can just click on 'translate tweet' at the bottom of each tweet.

I've wanted to use this pic for so long...

That looks extremely unhealthy for the unfortunate child having to drink such chemically induced ''Milk''

I'm pro breast feeding, but in this instance, Formula all the way! Mother's milk is naturally produced.

This is just selfish vanity on behalf of the person doing the ''Chest'' ''Feeding''.

''Domperidone has been banned in the U.S. given the FDA's concerns with its safety. The agency also stated in 2004 that it is unapproved for this off-label use to increase milk production. For that reason, it can be difficult to acquire.''

This x 100.

In this case that baby is a vanity project and it's a fucking disgrace.

Penelope you won't be taking the other drugs the TW is though. Im aware of 2 mums local to me who've had to use the protocol.

I believe when this has happened with TW they are unable to sustain enough to feed the baby.

Also, it has the potential to (selfishly) mess up the milk supply for the actual mother. As it is a delicate balance of demand and supply.

This is a case of where, as seems common with children in families with trans identified parents, the adults' feelings and priorities are placed above the infants.'

I saw this on breastfeeding and beyond fb group this morning. The comments were so disappointing everyone was delighted.

If there is any child that needs formula desperately it's this poor baby.

How can you possibly prove he gets sexual satisfaction from it?!

@PenelopePipPip - if men could lactate to the same quantity as woman, the male in the medical study someone quoted would have been able to feed his baby for more than 6 weeks. The fact that he couldn't suggests that women's breasts are designed for breastfeeding, not men's.

Here's a helpful picture

@SabiRiver however artificially inseminating a cow, taking her calf away from her and slaughtering it at 9weeks in order to ensure she becomes pregnant and lactates 'naturally' creates a secretion you are happy having in your cuppa?

I'm not a vegan btw. Just really struggling to understand why this is good and a liquid from a male animal would not be, particularly since we slaughter and eat the bulls and coagulate their blood to make 'pudding'.

Vile, just vile to use a baby like this to validate a man as a transwoman, especially one who gets sexual satisfaction from this horrible act that he’s performing. Poor baby is all I can say. I cannot bear to think of the life it will be forced to endure when both parents, evidently put their own wants before its needs 😟

How??????? why?.....
who gave birth surely a trans male to female can’t just suddenly produce milk in any quantity or quality that would be required.

If people support this madness under the guise of being supportive of trans people then they need rockets up their arses. It's disgusting. There's absolutely NO need for a trans woman to try breastfeeding a baby. Say what the hell you like but this is NOT for the benefit of the child in the slightest. It's purely selfish and disturbing. The parents, regardless of their biological sex or the one they may have transitioned to, wanted this in the media and consented to the publication of the photos. Why?

It's fucked up. Poor baby.

Can you stop with the fucking offensive 'born-women' @PenelopePipPip

It's women. We don't need a prefix.

This x 1000

It's vile and unnecessary for a baby to feed a males nipple discharge, the end.
