Academics called breastfeeding 'ethically problematic' because it endorses 'gender roles.' Their view is gaining traction. "We are concerned about breastfeeding promotion that praises breastfeeding as the ’natural’ way to feed infants."

seems to me that playing with androgen blockers is a bit... selfish:

there are no long term studies. In the case of the last one published, they didn't even bother to do a follow up on the baby, it was all about the 'transgernder' mum.

Thanking you kindly for coming up with the gold there. Bodies are just too complicated to be fooling around with all of that shit when you have a completely helpless baby that's going to feel the brute force of effects for just adult selfishness and desires.

exactly. Surely a mum would recognise the risks and choose to self sacrifice to avoid them? these dick waving 'lesbians' though....

Found these on my dig. Exogenous hormone exposure doesn't appear to be good things for breastmilk.

In the WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (MEC), Fifth Edition [23] estrogen-containing contraceptives (including combined oral contraceptives, the patch, and the vaginal ring) are considered to pose unacceptable health risks (Category 4) when used by breastfeeding women within the first 6 postpartum weeks. These methods are considered by the WHO to have theoretical or proven risks that usually outweigh their advantages (Category 3) until breastfeeding women are at least 6 months postpartum. In contrast, in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (CDC MEC), the advantages of using such estrogen-containing methods are stated to generally outweigh the theoretical or proven risks (Category 2) for women without complicating medical conditions starting 6 weeks after delivery [21] (Table 1).
