A trans woman who tried ‘chestfeeding’ had to give up after a fortnight, according to a case report that challenges claims biological men can breastfeed successfully.
The unidentified 37-year-old, from the Netherlands, failed to produce enough liquid to feed her newborn. She was making only 7ml a day, 100 times less than what the NHS says is needed by that point.
Medics in Amsterdam, who treated her, documented how she wanted to breastfeed in tandem with her partner to help with ‘bonding’ and share the workload.
The trans woman – who froze her sperm before transitioning – conceived her child with her partner, a biological female, via IVF in 2020 using her own sperm.
Despite months of preparation, she had to stop the ‘exhausting’ process two weeks after her child was born due to the low amount of milk produced.
Induced lactation in trans women is not only controversial in itself. Experts are also concerned by how little we know of the long-term impacts of the process on children, given how some of the medications and hormones taken by trans women to induce lactation can leak into milk produced.
The medics said they didn’t analyse the nutritional value of the milk produced by their patient and this remained an area that needed further research overall.
Let us start off with a bio-linguistic comb over:
1/ ‘She’ cannot, nor could ever, freeze ‘her’ sperm.
2/ The baby was not ‘her’ new born. It was HER new born, ie the mother who’s womb it grew in. Not her/his/them/there’s whatever.
3/ ‘She’ cannot use ‘her’ sperm. Only he can.
4/ ‘She’ didn’t stop the ‘exhausting process’, HE stopped the charade. Probably due to getting enough ‘likes’ on some pro trans (isn’t that all of them?) social media platform.
The more we acquiesce to these twisted and perverted calls for the destruction of our language and of women’s reality the more outrageous the street theatre will be from the activists.
Babies, of course, are but bio props to this frippery.
NB: two questions:
1) where was the bio mum with her own breasts and colostrum etc?
2) where was child protection when this baby was presumably being both starved and poisoned by this mentally ill man?
