Just seen this on Posie’s Facebook page. I am so angry. What a pile of utter shit. There are no lengths TRAs and their allies won’t go to. So many women struggle to breastfeed, get support for breastfeeding, are subject to abuse because they don’t breast, or because they do or because they don’t do it for long enough or do it for too long. And if they return to work they can struggle then too. This is such a fundamental aspect as to why women suffer under the patriarchy. And these fuckers want to convince us all that men can do it too, men can do it better and not only is it totally normal for a child to be breastfed by their father, because they identify as a man rather than as the woman they so clearly are given they’ve just given birth but that a man taking hormones and drugs that induce lactation is as good as what a lactating woman produces naturally.
I struggled so hard to feed my tiny, premature son. I spent hours hooked up to a bloody breast pump, day and night to express milk for him to be tube fed because he was too small to suckle and I desperately tried to feed him directly from my breast when he was bigger. When he failed to gain weight, couldn’t latch properly and then screamed in pain with reflux I switched to special formula and he thrived. I was so upset a couldn’t feed him myself, felt so guilty and thought I should have tried harder. But I did what was right for him, because I’m a mother, and that’s what we do.
Enough of this fucking bollocks. I’m sick of it all. The abuse at women, the fetishists and their allies gaslighting the world into thinking feeling sexual while breast feeding is normal and that a man pumped full of hormones feeding a baby is as good as an actual woman! They can fuck right off to the far side of fuck.
