Drug-induced milk from transgender women who were born male is as good for babies as a mother's breast milk, an NHS Trust has said.
This, from the same people who for years have trumpted dire warnings about the 'dangers' of formula milk.
The letter was sent on behalf of the Trust's Chief Executive in response to a campaign group's complaint about the Trust's gender policies. It defends the controversial practice of 'induced lactation' by means of powerful medication to enable trans women to simulate breastfeeding. It also claims that the term 'human milk' is 'meant to be neutral and is not gender-biased'.
Yes, Reader, opening up a sachet of Aptamil is like pouring hemlock down your newborn's throat, but a mentally ill person taking huge quantities of drugs like prolactin and oxytocin to produce a thin watery facsimile is A-OK!
But responding to the letter, Labour MP Rosie Duffield said: 'Babies can't be used as guinea pigs for someone else's lifestyle choice.
Nice try, Rosie, but that ship done sailed long ago, to the tune of 'In The Navy' by the Village People...
I had the impression that members of that group considered the anus to be equivalent to a vagina, but didn't believe that they were female.
ReplyDeleteAnd why does the NHS, which claims to be strappped for cash, spend silly mounts of money on "inducing" males to give milk?
ReplyDeleteIt's too late - the lunatics are running the asylum!
"...but didn't believe that they were female."
ReplyDeleteTrue enough, but once you move from tolerating one aspect to being forced to celebrate it...
"It's too late - the lunatics are running the asylum!"
That's becoming more and more obvious.
