A transgender mother who underwent medical treatment to breastfeed her newborn son is suing a breastfeeding expert who publicly dismissed her experience as a 'delusional queer theory take'.

Former Australian Breastfeeding Association volunteer counsellor Jasmine Sussex will face a Queensland tribunal next year over claims she discriminated against Brisbane transgender woman Jennifer Adrian Buckley.

The tribunal will decide if Ms Buckley was discriminated against under the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act over a series of social media posts by Ms Sussex.

NB Use of propouns at those in the article. So any complaints should go straight to the DM!

Mum in legal battle after expert's online comments about breastfeeding

'Mothers and babies deserve better than this', the breastfeeding expert said.

And yet women are blasted for daring to have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while breastfeeding. Fucking hell.

I was told not to use EYE DROPS (for hay fever relief) while pregnant.
Meanwhile this guy is feeding the baby a disgusting cocktail of medication induced liquid. It makes me feel ill.

Assume this man also gave birth to the baby ???

Because if he was really a woman he’d have been able to !!

But, no, he’s a bloke who wants to breast feed non the less !! 🤣🤣
Laughable isn’t it !

Just depravity that’s all it is

and as for midwives doctors and hospitals who allow this are all complicit in this depravity
🤮🤮🤮

Until recently it has not been permitted to use this word, appropriate though it is.

I think where trans are involved the presumption is 👍 unless there is evidence of harm. It’s strange as normally the other way round thst stuff is best avoided unless benefits outweigh risks for baby but special feelings Trump everything.

Sadly, in many cases, evidence of harm isn’t enough to stop the behaviour.

BellissimoGecko · 11/11/2025 22:57

Christ. So the man was able to produce 40ml of ‘milk’ a day?? When a baby needs about 800ml? Pointless.

And it’s all vile. Men can’t breastfeed with their medication-induced secretions. Australia needs to cop on to that.

Why is this child not being safeguarded against being force fed a cocktail of drugs?
Imagine if a heroine addicted woman was breastfeeding her baby? Social services would be on it like a dog with a bone

And I believe that when reporting this, the BBC got a gender studies professor to come on as an ‘expert’ and affirm that the milk was just like the mother’s milk. That was the BBC’s idea of expertise and a balanced article.

This is where I almost wish for a group of moderate trans people to get together and challenge these self indulgent individualists, and say not in my name.

Do we believe that they exist though? They’ve had plenty of years and opportunities to put their case forward.

I do think they exist, but their existence is already complicated enough so it’s sort of understandable that they don’t want to invite the delulu mob wrath, really.

Personally I don’t think trans women were ever an issue until this recent turn that somehow decided to dictate trans women=bio women, which is just… not true.

This may need a content warning, so be warned this link show males talking about the amazing electric charge they get from infants feeding from their nipples amongst other things.

https://www.them.us/story/trans-women-breastfeed

This is an illuminating read and shows insight into the motivations for these male people who seek to do this.

What is very clear, is that this is NEVER about the child. This is never child centred. This is all about the male person's demands being met.

You are not confused. You are sane.

The usual approach is that nothing is safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women because it cannot be adequately tested.

You can't use bonjella for a mouth ulcer or drink a glass of wine but this is fine.

You can't make it make sense because it doesn't.

Edited

It really doesn’t show any symmetry at all with how mothers are advised about interactions and what to avoid.

orangewasp · 11/11/2025 22:25

There's a name for men who want children to suck their nipples and it's not 'breastfeeding mother'.

Teathecolourofcreosote · 11/11/2025 21:55

I'm assuming that in lesbian partnerships the birthing mother feeds the child because the drugs that would be needed to induce lactation in the other would be unwise?

Just wondering what happened to the non special class of (real) same sex partnerships.

I'll bet no one panders to this class of (ordinary) women with nonsense like this.

Another woman though at least doesn’t have male levels of hormones or suppressants and a range of other drugs that no one knows will cause issues for the infant.

I am so confused how this is allowed? Has the product that came from the individual’s breast been treated? Do we know it’s safe for the baby or not?

I hope this case gives a platform to expose lactation fetishists.

I'd love to see all the stories on Reddit read out in court

I take it this a different man to the one who said putting his nipple in his baby's mouth was more exciting than anything a lover had ever done to him?

TomatoSandwiches · 11/11/2025 22:14

There have been and still are cases of biological women giving birth, struggling to BF and are REFUSED any hormonal help to support lactating, yet this pervert is allowed to abuse this newborn to facilitate his percieved conformation on a hospital ward in front of everyone else.

Perverse.

Yes that’s an interesting version of ‘balance’ by the BBC - a gender studies bod commenting on a medical issue affecting children.

male has described how 'breastfeeding' her baby an hour after her wife gave birth to the boy helped affirm her as a woman

This is all it boils down to isn't it. His affirmation. Grim.

An hour after birth when the baby should be getting the colostrum and all the anti bodies and instead you prioritise your own feelings.

I don't understand how anyone can think this isn't utter madness.

I know this isn’t in the UK. But why the hell aren’t social services stepping in and removing babies from any man attempting this? (I mean, I know the answer, but it’s what should be happening).

The UK had this one hit the headlines too in 2023.
