We made the top paragraph and we're 'notorious'. Evan Urquart, a transman who writes for slate and has no children, has opinions on transwomen breastfeeding, likely due Uquart's spouse being one. But I'm speculating...perhaps Evan is simply mad at women wanting to protect babies.

What the Freakout Over Trans Women Breastfeeding Is Really About

The science behind it is actually pretty neat.

Omg this is just... yuck.

Also wtf even is the Tanner scale?! Some kind of scale that ranks how womanly you are based on the size of your breasts...?!

I'm afraid to Google it

It is a body development scale. It relates to breast development here and whether the breast tissue is mature enough to lactate.

tanner 4 - The areola and nipple become raised and form a second mound above the rest of the breast.

Tanner 5 - Mature adult breast. The breast becomes rounded and only the nipple is raised.

Ah yes I did Google it after your comment - so it's a scale going from child to adult. Not man to pseudo-woman.

These guys are so creepy!
