There's a clever little trick behind the outrage over "chestfeeding" as a suggested alternative (not replacement) to breastfeeding, and the reason it works is, once again, say it with me: TRANSMASCULINE INVISIBILITY.

Except that is literally how its been reported internally and externally Evan, its as a replacement. I have no issue with opting for birth parent over mother to be inclusive but given breast feeding is already a gender neutral term it seems bizarre to even go there.
Then they need therapy and a science lesson. Breasts are a gender neutral term to reference solely to the area around the nipples of primates, which we as humans stem from. Cis men have breasts and thus can get breast cancer. 1/
The reporters lied/exaggerated to stoke the current transphobic panic. Just think rationally for a moment. It is outlandishly absurd, there's no possible reason for it, and no trans people want it. I'm a journalist. Ever heard of the phrase "too good to check"?
