American Family News (“AFN”) reports that some in the transgender movement have moved into a new and disturbing practice known as “chestfeeding” (as opposed to breastfeeding).
The University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust in Britain claims that the milk produced by trans women (biological men) after taking a combination of drugs is “comparable to that produced following the birth of a baby” and delivered by the biological mother through breastfeeding; however, Pediatrician Dr. Michelle Cretella of Advocates Protecting Children asserts that this is an “outright lie.”
According to a recent article in The Telegraph, in order for a person born male to breastfeed, he must take the hormone progestin to develop milk-producing glands and then take Domperidone to begin lactation.
Drugs.com warns that “Domperidone is not usually recommended if you are breastfeeding. Small amounts of this medicine have been detected in breastmilk. It may cause unwanted side effects affecting the heart in a breastfed baby.”

I’ve said it many times, but the casualty of our times is the truth! The selfishness of what is represented by much of the transgender movement becomes very clear when the practice of chestfeeding babies through the use of drugs to initiate male lactation becomes societally acceptable. Scripturally, God’s plan for family and children is clear, and is designed to be healthy for both mothers and their babies. Men were never made nor intended for childbearing and breastfeeding.
Because of the lie of pretending to be the opposite sex, the age-old advice heeded by most mothers to refrain from alcohol, smoking and taking unnecessary drugs (recreational or prescribed) to assure the safety of the baby and subsequent breastmilk is outright ignored by biological males wanting to chestfeed. This is evil and perverse. There is just no other way to properly describe this selfish action taken by biological men and the doctors who apparently support the practice.
Some scripture to consider:
Genesis 1:27-28 (NKJV)
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘[b]e fruitful and multiply [emphases mine]; fill the earth and subdue it…”.
Genesis 9:1 (NKJV)
“So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.’”
Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV)
“Pride goes before destruction, [a]nd a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Salvation and truth is found only in Jesus; the Truth is a Person and His name is Jesus:
John 14:6 (NKJV)
“Jesus said to [Thomas], ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
The wisdom of the world is not the wisdom of God:
1 Corinthians 3:19 (NLT)
“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, ‘He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.’”
The battle against all evil begins on our knees:
Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV)
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, [and] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Praise Jesus forevermore!
