No idea yet if this is repeatable for other women, but the fact that it was possible for someone is some of the best news I’ve heard in a while

Lots of trans women breastfeed, this is just the first time it’s being recorded in the medical literature/might be the first time it’s been done long-term without supplemental nutrition

This is 100% possible for trans women, and while not as practical, even possible for cis men. Which means that trans women who haven’t had hormone therapy for one reason or another could breastfeed. Inducing lactation is actually pretty common! The only real barrier is financial, since if you’ve never breastfed before, it requires certain medications in addition to pumping.

But it’s not just possible, it’s been done again and again and again. No matter how you choose to start a family, there’s options. Formula is a great option when breastfeeding isn’t possible or isn’t enough for full nutrition, but there’s options.

You can breastfeed your child.

This is… so beautiful 💓😭💓😭 I love it
