Midwives have been told to say “chestfeeding” instead of “breastfeeding” and to replace the term “mother” with “mother or birthing parent” as part of moves to be more trans-friendlyhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/breastfeeding-is-now-chestfeeding-brightons-trans-friendly-midwives-are-told-pwlvmcnc7?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1612890631 …
Who is asking for this? I don't know a single trans person who wants this ridiculous language used. Who, exactly, is this for??

But as a detransitioned transman Watson didn’t they remove your mammary ducts? It’s impossible to breastfeed after a double mastectomy isn’t?

Yeah, the glands and ducts responsible for milk production are removed, so producing milk should be impossible. Nobody "chestfeeds."

@ImWatson91 do you think this is maybe a way of stoking division? Since this seems a bit of a reach and can’t imagine anyone true it having an issue with these long established terms -
I think it's an attempt to stoke division, I just can't figure out why anyone wants such division.

There is no life experience that is as distinctively female as childbirth, and the people who imagine themselves as male while going through it really confuse me.

I never understood it. Even as a transman man, I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
