Speaking of agencies that need to be cleaned out, the CDC gets another vote

The guidance takes a truly dystopian turn in its breastfeeding guidance for men who identify as transgender. It recommends medication to induce breast milk in males so that they can pretend to be women by feeding from their nipples.

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine explains further in a document linked on the page. “There are many anecdotal reports and one case report of a trans woman ([male] on hormone replacement therapy) successfully inducing lactation,” the ABM says. “Bonding should be discussed as a benefit to chestfeeding and breastfeeding,” it adds, as if a man's perverted behavior creates the same biological bond a baby forms with a woman.

One of the drugs men take to become transgender, domperidone, can seep into the breast milk that the child would drink. The Food and Drug Administration has said it can cause an irregular heartbeat in infants. Doctors have warned that we have no idea how else this off-label use of lactation-inducing drugs might affect children in the long run.

The women I’ve known who were breastfeeding wouldn’t take ANYTHING that might affect their child.
The fact that the CDC would suggest this bullshit is somehow okay is proof they have become completely divorced from reality.
A whole govt agency that exists to publish garbage instead of real information.
Sickening…but not surprising.

Any man doing that should have his child permanently removed from the household for the child's own safety.
