Patrick Kelleher (February 19, 2024). "Yes, trans women can breastfeed too. Here’s why it’s safe, healthy and good for both mum and baby." PinkNews. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/02/19/trans-women-breastfeeding-explainer-research/
tl;dr One study was about how transgender women can produce milk. Another study found that the nutritional value of their milk is the same. This news article also tells the stories of some families who do this for their babies. It quotes one of these mothers, Twitch streamer and PhD student Nominal Naomi, who said,
"If you’re trans, you can be a mother. You can be a father. You can be a parent. You can actually have a family and this life – this dream is possible for you, and you can even breastfeed your kids [...] The only thing that’s stopping you is other people’s hate and vitriol, and I don’t want to let that get in the way of me loving my family as best I can."

Transgender women breastfeeding
There has been a lot of discussion around transgender women breastfeeding their own children, a privilege apparently that only the birthing parent can enjoy. Well science has been able to advance to the stage where an adoptive mother can breastfeed her child and a second mother in the case of lesbians where they can share this privilege. But none of this has ever caused outrage like the idea transgender women, or even non-binary second mothers can actually be included in this privilege which has been reported in the UK press recently. 
The outrage comes from a typically transphobic press who seem to enjoy provoking division in society and attempting to further marginalise the transgender/gender diverse communities. The good news is, it is not working because clearly transgender women are included in the wonderful privilege of breastfeeding their children, and like all families, the discussion has taken place amongst all the parents involved in such decision making. 
When anyone is thinking about becoming a parent, whether that's someone who is single, a couple and even multiple pollyamorous parents, the discussion around the best way to give that child the best nutritional start in life has to be part of the conversation and, medically induced lactation has all the same goodness as any birthing parent can produce, so this has to be a consideration for what is best for baby. 
It is also important to understand, a baby is for life, and so the way the child bonds with a parent is an early important part of its emotional development and the child and parent. So trying to suggest that anyone should be left out of this conversation is actually irresponsible at best, and discriminatory with no good reasoning at worst. 
If you are part of a diverse family, same sex, gay, lesbian, polyamorous and yes, straight adoptive parents, no matter what your assigned gender at birth science has allowed you too, to be able to enjoy the breastfeeding privilege. Your family is and always will be, equally valid to the vanilla traditional 2.2 children cis/het normative family unit and that's how it should be in 2023.  
If you would like to know more about this subject and Marianne’s thoughts on trans women breastfeeding, please have a read of this article in Pink News: https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/08/27/trans-women-breastfeeding-explainer-research/

Question for my fellow trans people: I’m helping rebuild and consult on a breastfeeding website for a woman who wants to be inclusive and teach trans people how to breastfeed, and she thought that the term ‘breastfeed’ might not be inclusive. She doesn’t want to drive away people with a dated term, so does anyone have any developed thoughts on this, or has read about a better term?

Breastfeeding isn't free and under capitalistic western culture norms especially in America, it is extremely hard due to the working conditions. #smashpatriarchy #feminist #equality #Equalityforeveryone #equalmeansequal #equaleconomics #equalrightsforall #Era #CEDAW #feminism #intersectionalfeminism #lgbtq #transgender #trans #prochoice #prolife #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmom https://www.instagram.com/p/CdYbigtLFnt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First Adoptable
“Babe”
She/Her
Babe is a 26 year old farmer who is a transgirl. She’s 6’4” and 300 pounds, though it is mostly muscle she does have a soft spot for large meals. She has wavy hair down to just below her shoulders that she swears “it’s black it just looks blue, like a bluejay”. She prefers to wear it up than to leave it down. She doesn’t shave her body often and she can usually be seen with a shirt that’s just short enough to reveal her treasure trail. Her armpits and bush grow proudly in the same bluish color as her hair. During harvest season she can easily outwork almost every other person on the farm and has a seemingly infinite amount of stamina. Her cock is 7 inches long fairly girthy for the length. She has modest B cup breasts and a firm butt.
However, she has a secret. She is a werecow. Starting during the harvest moon, throughout all of fall, when the moon is up she’s overcome by her instincts, her body shapeshifts to that of an anthropomorphic cow and her fur is a dark blue during the day she experiences incredible strength and stamina. Her breasts swell up an incredible amount becoming leaky H cup breasts. Her body softens and muscle turns into fat leaving her with a plump rear and childbearing hips. Her cock grows and takes on an equine shape and triples in size to an intimidating 21 inches. During this time she also has a strong musk.
Babe is kind and hardworking, she is almost always the first one awake and the last one to sleep. More than anything she enjoys her farm work, especially taking care of the animals. In fact, taking care of things is something she truly loves. Many people only really complain that she nags them like a mother would. She doesn’t much enjoy baking but she loves to cook hearty meals, she calls her slow cooker her best friend. Her libido is fairly average most of the year but it spikes heavily during the fall. Her instincts that take over are best described as motherly and horny, she is loving but dominant, glad to touch and be touched.
She was born and raised on a farm and is a werecow by birth, on her mother’s side it is said to be a curse because one of their ancestors neglected their farm and caused a famine with their carelessness. These days it isn’t seen as much of a curse and it closer to an open secret. The transformation was something that she used to look forward to in her teenage years as her body never quite felt right, eventually she realize that she was transgender and experiencing dysphoria. Her family was supportive and aided whenever they could.
Kink list: Mommydom, breastfeeding, oral, handjobs, musk
Available for 3$CAD for just the adoptable or 6$CAD for the adoptable and a 1k word story DM me to discuss payment

Trans Women: Amanda's Worst Nightmare
of course, because Amanda has deleted her Twitter, I am unable to provide the original tweet. Luckily, many news outlets have quoted her post!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She really is just terrified of trans women doing anything, even when it's been well researched and scientifically proven to be completely healthy for trans women to breastfeed their children.

Babies are not props to be used to validate gender feelz. And unfortunately this is just the start of a long list of why this guy should not be around kids
By Genevieve Gluck February 26, 2024
A trans-identified male residing in Canada who claims to be HIV positive and inserts progesterone rectally has been allegedly “breastfeeding” his child with the support of established medical clinics. Former men’s rights activist Murray Pearson, 52, who uses the name Margaret (Margie) Fancypants on social media, has been criticized after he shared an image of himself at a lactation clinic holding a young infant.
The photo was first posted three months ago on Reddit community titled r/TransLater, a board dedicated to males who transition later in life. In a post titled, “Milk, baby, milk! MTF 52,” wherein Pearson appears ecstatic that one “benefit of being transfemme” includes “that you can be pregnant and get drunk” with no undue problems.
“I have a baby almost 9 months old… I cannot wait to connect through feeding. And yes, I will stop drinking before it negatively affects anything they drink!” said Pearson
Tumblr media
“This is a wish I have had for decades. My egg cracked a year ago on December 12 and I realized I could nurse my baby already on the way. That lit a fire under me, and I have gone from having lean pectoral muscle in March to full B-cups now and growing fast,” he added.
Pearson continues on to claim to have the assistance of “medical expertise,” including “five physicians in three clinics in two world class hospitals,” with one of the clinics named as the Goldfarb Clinic in Montreal.
“Two endocrinologists, Newman and Goldfarb, created a protocol to induce lactation in adoptive mothers,” Pearson explained in the comments. “It works for trans women as well, it works best when breast growth is mature but I am taking domperidone while my primary breast growth is underway. By an astonishing coincidence, I live right next to their breastfeeding institute!”
According to statements Pearson has made on social media, he began identifying as transgender in December 2022, and the following year, began taking progesterone. Approximately eight months ago, Pearson announced that he had found his “true self” as a result of performing in a drag show for a friend’s birthday celebration.
Earlier this month, Pearson described the first moment he believed he was a woman after trying on used women’s clothing at a thrift store. “I realized that the beautiful curvy woman in the mirror was the real me and I could be her every day… after more than two decades of stealth resistance. 87 days later I started spiro, 14 days after that estradiol, and now I am looooooving my boobs. Having curves without fakery is AMAZING.”
In a post made to the TransLater community last week, Pearson described how to insert the female hormone progesterone rectally, as a suppository, rather than swallowing it as a tablet.
“My breasts get a wonderful plumpness and pleasing jiggliness when I have had progesterone the night before…. You’ll need some lubricant (personal lube such as K-Y jelly or similar, or silicone personal lube which may be overkill, or some sort of non-irritating oil; I use my own mixture of cocoa butter and shea butter) to allow free clearance for the capsule… Some people simply pop the capsule in their mouth to use saliva, but I like a more effective lube,” he commented.
Pearson has also shared images of himself in a blue and pink wig attempting to eat ice cream containing the hormone in a seductive manner.
Tumblr media
Disturbingly, Pearson has also revealed that he is HIV positive and is aware that the deadly virus can be transmitted through breastfeeding.
“I am HIV+, continuously controlled for 18.5 years now,” said Pearson in a Reddit post six months ago. “The viral suppression into undetectability [sic] makes sexual transmission impossible. But transmission through milk IS possible if viral load becomes detectable so I will test viral load monthly (opposed to semiannually) to keep a VERY close eye on that.”
In a shocking display of further disregard for the child’s health, Pearson speculated as to whether his experiment would qualify him as a candidate for the participation in academic research.
“Fortunately, Dr Lenore Goldfarb, creator of the protocol, has her clinic at the same hospital we birthed our baby in. I may even end up in the medical literature.” While again discussing his HIV status in relation to ‘breastfeeding’ a child, Pearson alleges that his case is being documented by infectious diseases researcher Dr. Marina Klein, who is affiliated with McGill University.
Tumblr media
Pearson in a “before” picture posted to Reddit tracking his transitioning progress.
Reduxx reached out to Dr. Klein to request information on her involvement in Pearson’s experimental lactation, and she confirmed that she had been monitoring Pearson for his HIV infection at the Chronic Viral Illness Service of the McGill University Health Centre. However, she stated she had not been involved in his transition nor had she been consulted on his induction of lactation.
“It’s important to emphasize that we do not recommend breast feeding for people with HIV as this is the only way to be certain that no HIV transmission will occur after a baby is born,” Dr. Klein said in her response. “However, guidelines have evolved over time with the recognition that the risk of transmission is very low when HIV infection is undetectable with effective therapy … If, after informed discussion, a person expresses a wish to breastfeed they may chose to do so provided they are willing to follow a close protocol of viral monitoring and have their baby followed closely with pediatric specialists who would generally recommend that they receive preventive medication.”
Dr. Klein further states that Pearson had expressed a desire to breastfeed and then had been referred to an endocrinologist.
Prior to identifying as transgender, Pearson was involved in politically advocating for the US-based, anti-feminist men’s rights non-profit A Voice for Men (AVFM).
The organization was founded in 2009 by Paul Elam, who has said that there would no longer be “any place to hide on the internet” for “lying bitches,” and members associated with the group have previously published personal information about women who opposed their activities.
Pearson has linked to the organization’s website on his YouTube channel biography, where he has uploaded videos of himself advocating positions held by AVFM, such as accusing women of lying about sexual violence.
Tumblr media
In one video shared in July 2013, titled “Rape, Posters, Traffic Lights and Consent,” Pearson claims that he was previously drugged and raped by a woman on the University of Alberta campus.
He also encourages discussion of posters produced by Men’s Rights Edmonton which featured the headline, ‘Don’t Be That Girl’, created with the intention of parodying an anti-rape campaign designed by a women’s rape crisis shelter, Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton (SAVE), which used the slogan, ‘Don’t Be That Guy.’
Pearson has also been active in a Facebook group for “trans lesbians,” a term which labels men who call themselves transgender as same-sex attracted women.
Tumblr media
Criticism of Pearson’s claims to be “lactating” and “breastfeeding” have focused on concerns that he is “motivated… to experience sexual arousal from lactation,” as one X user, Lulu Solomon, said.
“Because it is not motivated by what is best for the baby it’s automatically risky because the baby becomes a prop in the fantasy,” she stated, alongside a photo of Pearson at the Goldfarb clinic.
This is not the first controversy that has involved trans-identified males breastfeeding babies, with a number of recent examples triggering concern over the past year.
Last year, a lactation professional in Australia along with a women’s rights campaigner were warned that they had broken the law after criticizing a trans-identified male who had boasted of breastfeeding his infant. Shortly after, a trans-identified male in the UK dismissed critics of the practice as “transphobes” after he posted images of himself with a baby latched to his nipple.
UPDATE 02/26/24: The article has been updated to include comment received from Dr. Klein.

"but how will we explain transgenders to kids" when i was a kid i learned that men could take medicine that would make them be able to breastfeed and went "WHOA THATS SO COOL? YOU CAN JUST DO THAT???" and then literally didnt think about it beyond that except to wonder where it came out because i didnt know how normal breastfeeding worked either. i filed it away in the same place i filed away things like fuckin. heart replacements. like. its just some magic thing they can do because of science. children do not care about the gender or sexual implications of transition stuff they just go "oh wild" and then go back to playing with mud or whatever

Not to toot my own horn but
You could probably show someone in the middle ages my transgendered body and there's a good chance they would think I was divine
Between side wound theology, St Francis breastfeeding, St Wilgefortis, literal Joan of Arc- on and on and on there's holy gender and sex transgression. Christianity reeks of it
(This includes homosexuality! Blessedly)

Where's the Mother? Stories from a Transgender Dad by Trevor MacDonald
goodreads
Tumblr media
In a time when to most people “pregnancy” automatically means “motherhood,” what is it like to get pregnant, give birth, and breastfeed a child all while being an out transgender man? When Trevor MacDonald decided to start a family, he knew that the world was going to have questions for him. As a transgender man in a gay relationship, Trevor has gone through the journeys of pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing all while exploring (and sometimes defending) his role as a trans dad. Trevor and his partner tackle all the questions new parents are familiar with, such as: Should we feed our baby breast milk or formula? Should we have a hospital or home birth? Other questions are less familiar: How can a man cope with gender dysphoria when going through such female-coded rituals as childbirth and breastfeeding? How can a person breastfeed after having had chest masculinization surgery? How do we find donor milk to supplement our own modest milk supply? Luckily for the reader, Trevor explains his own answers to these questions with grace and humour. His stories convey the intimate and sometimes surprising realities of the transgender parenting experience. This memoir is a book about being a breastfeeding parent and a transgender man, and the many beautiful, moving, and difficult ways these two identities collide. It reminds us that birth is a fundamental process that lies outside simplistic definitions and concepts. “Where’s the Mother?” is a memoir like no other.
Mod opinion: I haven't read this memoir and since I am rarely interested in memoir I probably won't, but this one sounds like an interesting story if you're interested in trans memoirs.
