It is fantastic that a trans women can breastfeed. It clearly appears the public needs to be educated about this, but also people need to mind their own fucking business.

MODERATORS
the people in question view these types of a things as a violation of the natural order.
yet they often don't view taking testosterone to counter the effects of low-t as a violation of the natural order
Nor do they get outraged about gender affirming surgery like breast augmentation as long as the person is cis.
If they worry about adhering to natural order, many of those geniuses wouldn't have made it to adulthood to worry about it in the first place. Just stroll through a really old cemetery and it will break your heart.
This is the first I have heard of transwomen breastfeeding.
Sounds incredibly complicated vs having a wet nurse/milk doner
https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/domperidone/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501371/ Domperidone, the galactagogue commonly prescribed for inducing lactation, is safe and effective for young, healthy women breastfeeding. “NO adverse events were noted in mothers or children”
I think the main takeaway from this is that for hetero couples, if the man is harassing the woman for not breastfeeding, she can legitimately look him in the face and say 'do it yourself'
Lactation in Trans Women https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779241/ https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/106/5/e2047/6123860?login=false Two Peer-Reviewed case studies of induced lactation in trans women. Each case involved moderate quantities of milk production, and the childrens’ health was observed to be developmentally appropriate.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s13006-020-00308-6 Peer-Reviewed survey of healthcare professionals’ experiences in inducing lactation in transgender women. Provider reports cover more than 13 direct cases and 17 providers with additional knowledge of programs for inducing lactation in trans women.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10632490/ https://www.thebreastonline.com/article/S0960-9776(21)00346-5/fulltext https://www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S1530-891X(20)35121-1/fulltext Peer-Reviewed studies demonstrating that through HRT, trans women’s breasts become anatomically and functionally identical to cis women’s breasts.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08903344231170559 Peer-Reviewed analysis of the nutritional content in a transgender woman's breast milk. The nutrients in her breast milk were found to be better than reference levels in every category. This is consistent with the literature on the nutritional contents of breast milk from inducing lactation in cis women (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25288606/). Lactation has even been observed in cisgender men, and the nutritional contents of male milk is within reference levels for normal lactating cis women (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7462406/)
https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/domperidone/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501371/ Domperidone, the galactagogue commonly prescribed for inducing lactation, is safe and effective for young, healthy women breastfeeding. “NO adverse events were noted in mothers or children”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501101/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501296/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501345/ Spironolactone, Estradiol, and Progesterone, the three medications commonly prescribed for transfeminine HRT, are safe to use while breastfeeding.
TIL that a trans woman could still produce more milk than I could!
