Or chestfeed
Sigh. Washington State health department. It couldn’t be California or Wisconsin or New Jersey, no, it has to be Washington.

This has got to be about the most ridiculous of all the TAs have come up with. Men have breasts. Women have chests. Stupid, and ugly sounding.
The only purpose of “chest feeding” is to make sure everyone knows how special you are, or how inclusive you are.
I take it that “CDC” stands for “Clowns for Disease Control.” The woeful inadequacy of the preventative measures suggested here is even more enraging than the asinine “inclusive” language. If a breastfeeding mother has covid and doesn’t want to share the wealth with her infant, she needs to find someone uninfected to take over childcare while she quarantines. (Baby formula exists for a reason.) If she can’t quarantine, she needs to wear an N95 mask whenever she’s in the same room as the infant, run a HEPA air purifier in the infant’s room and in whatever room she’s in, and, weather permitting, open as many windows as possible. Putting on a surgical mask or a cloth mask only when she’s within six feet of the baby and otherwise waltzing around unmasked isn’t going to cut it.
@2 That’s not the CDC, it’s the Washington Dept. of Health’s trans cult spin on what the CDC says. CDC’s link is there, no reference to “chestfeeding” whatever in TF that is… >> https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/pregnancy-breastfeeding.html#breastfeeding
I’m going to guess that “chestfeeding” involves whipped cream and sliced strawberries, not nursing an infant. Stupid shits.
What I’m trying to work out is whether the word ‘chestfeeding’ is there for the women who think they’re men or the men who think they’re women.
@4: I don’t get it. Taking items out of a large chest on the floor?
@5: It’s for the former. The latter would love having their gynecomata (if that’s a word) called “breasts”.
I think it’s bizarre that women who claim gender dysphoria would take on such gender specific roles as pregnancy and breastfeeding, and then worry about misgendering so much that they must be called “pregnant people” and that breastfeeding be called “chestfeeding.”
I can’t make sense of it in part because men do have breasts, too. We can get breast cancer.
@7: Well, there you go. Terms like “chestfeeding” are for the TIFs, but when TIFs take on such roles as pregnancy and breastfeeding they are ultimately feeding the imagination of the TIMs. How so?
One can point to TIFs, and say: “Look! Men can give birth. Men can breastfeed. This proves that being a woman isn’t about birth and breastfeeding. Being a woman is about eating chocolate and having long hair! And I do those things, so I am the best woman who ever womaned!”
I remember when I worked for Social Security Disability as an examiner. One of my colleagues got a case on a man with breast cancer. She thought it must be in error. She’d never heard of such a thing. (Her degree was in interior decoration, so perhaps she could be forgiven, but if you want to be a disability examiner, you need to learn things outside the field of interior decorating.)
While the instance of breast cancer in men is way lower than in women, it is not zero. While only 1% of breast cancers are men, those men are real, living, breathing humans, and feel the need for care just like women with the disease.
Chestfeeding is a clunky, nasty sounding word, but it’s also misleading. People need to remember that truth stated by Mike…men can get breast cancer. Let’s not hide it under euphemisms to make delusional people feel great about their delusions.
I am again asking you to please put up a trigger warning when showing the word “chestfeeding”, which may be the most disgusting word ever invented.
Maybe those people usually yelling “women can have penises!” can take some time to also yell “men can have breasts!” at these would-be (trigger warning!) “chestfeeders” (ugh).
Sorry, I forgot!
