NPR: Discussing Breatfeeding Makes Trans Parents Feel Uncomfortable

submitted by JulienMayfair from self.GenderCritical

I just heard a promo for an NPR segment today, Embodied with Anita Rao, where she is discussing breastfeeding, so, of course, she has to add that even discussing breastfeeding makes some trans parents uncomfortable.

So, a method of providing vital nourishment to your children, something shared across all mammal species, is now something we have to discuss with caution so as not to trigger trans people. Sorry, but there's a point at which you need to take responsibility for your own psychological reactions. It's not the duty of the rest of the world to avoid speaking about the most basic everyday realities to protect your feelings.

Watch them want it banned in public b/c it "triggers their dysphoria", and plenty of women will happily go along with it b/c these days, wokeness is next to godliness.

If that's the case then Hail Satan and I fucking mean it this time.

Not only do the cult's language police wipe out women's reality, it also serves to endanger the health and lives of their children. If the value of breastfeeding is kept under wraps once again, there will be a rise in autoimmune diseases, and the world's safest vaccine will thus, once again, be deemed unsafe.

Breastfeeding my one year old while reading this. It disgusts me that my body is no longer a topic I can discuss.

Periods? I have to note that some men have those too now!

Pregnant? Oh make sure to include transmen, sea horse daddies!

I saw a post today on a pregnancy sub that said they didn't know FTM meant "first time mom" because "female to male" was so widely used online. But this is the one place it means something else totally unrelated and I'm tried of that post popping up every few months.

Critical thinking skills are on the decline I'm afraid. Am I in the twilight zone?

I love my natural breasts that FEED my child. There I said it, I hope it caused some titless transwoman a sad face or a transman traitor to wrap his mosquito bites extra tight tonight.

It isn't about you, this is about my hungry child and our beautiful bond.

Why be mad at me because you can't be a mom or you accidentally did and can't handle it (not trying to be insensitive here) both of those groups probably don't belong in pregnancy subs or reading/listening to stories about related topics.

I always thought it was a dumb thing for Americans to be so obsessed with breastfeeding, like I've met so many people who thought it was sexual or immoral.

Who cares what makes tr-ns/het malignant narcissists uncomfortable? They are both oppressor classes at this point.

Feeling uncomfortable sometimes is an inevitable, normal part of life for virtually everyone. Feeling sad, lonely, distressed, desperate, hopeless, sick, unseen, left out, un- or under appreciated, rejected, "dysphoric" and so on are all normal parts of being human too. These people need to get a grip.
