Maybe not the best idea to breastfeed a child when you're on T? Idk. Seems like a bad idea.

Clearly this person is just an attention whore. Or is it transphobic to use the word whore here? Attention slut more acceptable?

We definitely need more research on how exogenous testosterone use impacts babies. I believe that many of the East German women who were doped with testosterone suffered miscarriages and had babies with birth defects. I can't imagine it's benign. You'd think this would be a bit of a research priority, since it's becoming so much more common.

Six years ago, he realized that he wanted to be male with the help of a transgender co-worker, and he soon started medically transitioning.

Yep, so totally not a social contagion.

It’s amazing how often you can see the signs of social contagion in stories about TIFs.

I think the problem here would be that any research would be unethical.

I think an easy way to test this would be to sample the breast milk of this "exceptional individual" and compare it to that of a normal woman. And see if there is any difference such as an excess of testosterone.

I don't think the results on a baby would be so benign as the baby being stacked.

By 'research', I mean simply document the effects of testosterone on the pregnancy/ baby. I expect we'll find out one way or another in the next few years.

You're talking about the ones who got dosed as part of their Olympic training, right?

IIRC, the end effect was so bad for some of them that one or two actually ended up transitioning to male because they weren't (physiologically) capable of functioning as women anymore.

Those girls were only given enough steroids to improve their athletic performance. Modern "transmen" are prescribed much higher doses so they can grow shitty beards. Now remember that your average tumblrina is nowhere near as fit and healthy as an Olympian and you can see this disaster coming from miles away.

It’s remarkable isn’t it, the narcissism of this woman is so great that she would risk the health of the baby in order to continue her roleplaying. The risk may be very small, I’ve not been able to find any references for it, but when my nieces were very little we, as a family (as I’m sure everyone normal does) didn’t take any risks with them because their health and wellbeing was the highest concern, my sister-in-law even gave up coffee, tea and spicy food just in case there was a chance of harm.

This woman not only can’t put her child first, she has to publicise it because it’s not about the child and all about her narcissistic need to seek attention and praise.

May god/fate/chance (delete as appropriate) protect that child and I hope that he grows up healthy, happy and successful inspite of his selfish, narcissistic, deluded mother.

I mean, does it affect the baby? Guess we'll find out. The funny thing about this shit is, it makes BPD people extremely visible. They'd probs be abusive in some other way if this weren't trendy right now.

There was a woman last year who posted on mumsnet, absolutely terrified because her son had grown at a very fast rate, and at 2 was the size of a 4 year old and had started growing pubic hair. Doctor's realised that the kid had been accidentally absorbing testosterone from his father. The father was using a prescribed T gel and it was still present on his hands when he picked up his son.

Doctor's couldn't say for sure whether or not the child would suffer long term health issues as a result. The parents started a campaign, to issue new guidance for T gel users and so that patches/tablets could be considered for parents, rather than gel, which was potentially transferable.

But sure, take really high testosterone medication and then breastfeed your baby. Nothing bad can happen.
