It reminds me of when people were using the inability to produce a full milk supply as a valid reason for trans women not to be allowed to induce lactation and breast feed.

Please tell me you're not serious, @SparklyTurtle ! Men (transwomen) cannot produce breast milk. Its impossible. Even the NHS has recently come out and said that. Galactorrhoea is not milk. Taking drugs to create chemical-induced pus which is dangerous to children is NOT milk! We avoid cheese when pregnant, yet men can take drugs to create a pus that the babies ingest the chemicals of, and you're ok with that? You are disturbingly ill-informed!

BTW, I know 4 women with PCOS. They get an increase of fine hair on their face. They don't get a stubble, let alone beard. That's not even a thing with PCOS.

Women with PCOS can get a stubble. Just because the ones you know don't, doesn't mean none of us do.

Yeah, exactly. The issues with trans women trying to breastfeed are many and none of the actual problems which cause harm to the infant are related to low milk supply, so why are some people constantly dragging us low suppliers into it when there are countless other problems with it to be discussed valid reasons against the practice without being to insensitive to real women who have milk supply issues.

You have missed the point entirely.

And why can't the swans in their feathery britches also be danced by women? Is there something about the choreography that they can't do just because they're female? The female dancers could wear flesh-coloured tops, so the topless male swans aren't the reason.

There's no reason for women to be excluded from the swan roles in Bourne's production except that some gay/trans men just wish that women would go away so they can have the world all to themselves. Much like many straight men.

There is something about a lot of ballet choreography that most men can't do but women can. I wonder if you can guess what it is.
