Rainbow families and pretend lactation

It seems Australia is making it illegal to say that inducing an imitation of lactation in men and then feeding the pseudo-milk to infants is dangerous to those infants. Nothing must be allowed to interfere with men’s fantasies.

Last week a notice was given to my friend and former breastfeeding counsellor Jasmine Sussex by Twitter, advising her of an Australian law infraction. I met Jasmine in person just over a year ago at a Brisbane radical feminist conference, but she first contacted me in 2021 when I wrote an article in The Spectator Oz titled On “Chestfeeding.

At this time Jasmine’s long relationship with the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) was ending in some level of pain and bitterness. As I wrote in my article, the ABA was collaborating with an organisation called Rainbow Families. The result was the adoption by the ABA of some gender identity ideology-based practices that Jasmine found problematic and dangerous.

Jasmine raised concerns with the ABA, that the inclusion of men in their purview meant an alignment with very shoddy and experimental medicine, just to name one of the many red flags that she raised. Jasmine lost her position as a breastfeeding counsellor and has become entrenched in activism on the gender identity vs sex issue.

Women like Jasmine speak up because they can’t turn from what they see. In the world of breastfeeding, the inclusion of gender identity ideology in women’s support infrastructure, is leading to the assumption that male people can produce milk suitable for an infant, and these males should be supported in the pursuit of feeding an infant from their body by the entirety of the medical profession, including birth and lactation specialists. Apart from the coercion that is required to implement such a practice, the process by which endocrinologists are getting human males to exude a substance from their nipples, seems to be ethically debased and scientifically unsupported.

It’s hard to read about this subject without nausea. “Yay we got some kind of stuff to come out of your manly tits, now go nurse that infant!”

Jasmine Sussex and a Brisbane women’s rights activist recently took to Twitter to highlight the disturbing promotion of males feeding infants through an untested chemically induced process. Both women have received notices that their tweets are in violation of Australian law, and the tweets are now hidden from Australian audiences.

So the wounded fee-fees of men who want to poison infants are more important than the health and safety of infants. Why is that, exactly?

    I used to think Australia is cool, Man.

    But they’ve changed. I no longer want to visit.

    It’s like Australia has become the Pakistan or Saudi Arabia of the woke religion. There are blasphemy laws enforced by the Committee to Promote Mandatory kindness and Prevent Bad-Think

    Does anyone have a link to a good article about the actual biochemistry of “chestmilk”? I admit to fearing to Google this subject.,

    You could try Googling something like “male mammary secretions”? That should be not too scary I think. (I don’t have any links on hand.)

    Main difference should be what hormones it contains I would think…

    Freemage, It’s actual human milk. It happens every so often that men and other mammalian males spontaneously lactate. They have all the equipment.

    These men are probably using something like the same method used to stimulate lactation in women–

    I read recently that some WWII POWs who had been starved in the camps began lactating during recovery.

    I’m less worried about the quality of the milk than I am about the underlying motivation. Using a baby as a prop to act out a fantasy is an awful thing to do.

    That’s not what I’ve heard. It’s not milk and it’s laced with hormones, is what I’ve heard (that is, read).

    There has been one study of a solitary male inducing lactation.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779241/

    No further studies that I can find.

    *Women* are advised to refrain from a number of drugs, alcohol, and foods both while pregnant and while breastfeeding. Meanwhile,*men* quite happily suck down large volumes of drugs, hormones, and lordy only knows what else to produce a form of bodily excretion laced with everything that man has ingested. We have numerous studies showing the ill effects of alcohol and drugs when passed onto a baby via breastfeeding but have restricted those studies to *women* only.

    Any man who attempts to suckle a child is a pervert, a child abuser, and should be investigated by police and child protection authorities.

    Hey Mike, we’re still cool, it’s just that Australia is the perfect target for this contagion – far enough away from the sources of infection not to have first-hand experience of it yet connected a near light-speed by it’s main vector. I really think most Australians have no idea what’s happening. Just a few days ago I had to, for the second time, explain to a friend what ‘terf’ means. He’s an intelligent man, even if not particularly political, and he’s recently lost a good to this nonsense. “All he wants to do these days is talk about bras and makeup”. There’s just not an awareness among the general public that’s there’s any sort of issue.

    I like to think that we’re seeing all the Australian stories here is because those of us in the know are pushing back, hard. We’ve just chucked out the coal-fondlers. We’ll chuck this lot out too.

    Francis, I wish you were right, but we simply replaced the coal fondlers with the genital fetishists. Look to Vic and Qld to see how bad it is getting.

    The Greens harbour a Nazi loving paedophile apologist, and permit it to write their “trans policy”. Vic Labor berates women as Nazis for wanting women’s rights protected, while putting men in women’s prisons. There are no longer any women in Queesnland unless they “self ID” as such. Tasmania bans lesbians from holding Lesbian only meetings and the Labor opposition is silent.

    Well, in the (slightly misquoted) words of a song you probably know, I’m talking about a long term plan. As long as we have women like Jasmine Sussex (and I’m privileged to know a few right here in Brisbane) who just won’t shut up “because they can’t turn from what they see”, we’ll turn the tide eventually.

    Thanks for the link, Arcadia. Quoting from La Scap’s analysis…

    Furthermore, the authors’ claim that at 6 weeks, the patient began supplementing breastfeedings with 4–8 oz of Similac brand formula daily and they ressure us but give no evidence that “the child’s pediatrician reported that the child’s growth, feeding, and bowel habits were developmentally appropriate”.

    This raises serious concerns about authenticity of the entire report. As far as can be ascertained from the study, authors never observed any breastfeeding nor did they meet the mother or the infant.

    But let’s assume for the sake of the argument that somehow this case study was indeed based on real events, and that the infant survived for 6 weeks on 8oz of male drug-induced galactorrhea a day.

    Mother’s breastmilk in context of pregnancy isn’t the same as drug-induced galactorrhea in a man, nor is breastmilk static in composition. It starts as colostrum (birth – 4 days) which is a thick fluid full of fat, vitamins and immunoglobulins. Then it changes to more calorific transitional milk (4 days – 2 weeks), which is high in fat and vitamins, and after that it becomes mature milk which is 90% water.

    The authors of this study gave no indication that they analysed the content of this man’s nipple discharge, even though they talked at length about benefits of breastfeeding on mother and baby, none of which were applicable to their male patient or indeed the infant he allegedly fed.

    Furthermore, mothers who don’t want to or are unable to breastfeed, are required to use baby formula, which closely approximates the nutritional content of mother’s milk at each stage, and are obliged to use it in adequate amounts. Why was their trans-identified male patient held to a drastically different standard of infant care?
