Science is a wonderful thing.
And, they didn't even have to take horse paste in order to chestfeed.
One commonly-used method for non-gestational cisgender and transgender women to induce lactation is called the Newman Goldfarb protocol. It relies on the anti-nausea drug domperidone, which is banned by the FDA due to heart health risks (but widely used in Europe and Canada). Dr. Molly Moravek, a reproductive endocrinologist at the University of Michigan, praised the fact that more people are now talking about how trans women can breastfeed in the same way as cisgender women — but worries that people will “miss the part where the very last thing they say in the study is that we still need to do more research to figure out the right doses of these medications.” And indeed, induced lactation in trans women is still highly experimental.

I mean, it sounds a little less than traditional.

Uh-oh. I’m not sure we’re strong enough, or united enough, to cancel Drake.

It's not going to be a good thing when folks weaponize the fact that he played a wheelchair-bound character when able-bodied.

So many thoughts...
1. If you want to argue that the Pride (and associated) flags are not political, then please tell me one other flag, other than the American flag, that is not considered political.
B. Students -- and not just LGBTQ students -- suffered in the last year because they weren't in school due to the pandemic, not because their school was not affirming enough. (And, you could obviously be affirming without flags. You could also have flags, and not be affirming.)
iii. At some point, the number of flags becomes ridiculous.
Since the start of the new school year, school districts in states such as Utah, Oregon, Missouri and Florida have banned Pride flags as a political symbol and ordered teachers to remove them from their classrooms. In some cases, as in Indiana, parents’ complaints seem to be driving the crackdown.
But this labeling and banning of the flags sends a message beyond politics. Experts tell The 19th that removing Pride flags from classrooms could have dire mental health effects on LGBTQ+ students, many of whom are still in the early stages of navigating their identities and looking for signs of acceptance from the adults around them.
The stakes are high — 70 percent of LGBTQ+ youth who responded to the Trevor Project’s latest annual survey said their mental health was “poor” most of the time or always during the pandemic, and 42 percent seriously considered suicide. ... The teacher, who asked to remain unidentified because she did not want to endanger her job, said she started to hang large Pride flags in her classroom at the start of the new school year, starting with a transgender pride flag that a student had asked to bring in from home.
“As soon as that flag went up, obviously, there was conversation and other kids were like, ‘Oh, can I bring in my flag, too?’”
A student’s lesbian pride flag, taken from her mom’s house, came next, followed by a student who brought their bisexual flag from home. Another kid brought a pansexual flag into class to hang up. Nonbinary and LGBTQ+ Pride flags eventually followed.
The teacher said she was told by the school to remove the students’ flags last week, since they’re considered a political statement. School administrators did not respond to requests for comment, although the county superintendent’s office confirmed the incident.

Great job. Everyone deserves to feel included. Good. Few things grind my gears more than some mook with a mic saying "Ladies and Gentlemen" before every announcement.
You have a microphone. Just start talking.
And get off my porch.

Groundbreaking.
Hopefully her mother, who she sprung from a nursing home, right before ordering nursing homes to accept COVID positive residents to be admitted, is still alive to witness her daughter’s achievement.

I know this is old, but I just noticed it. Do Don Lemon and Sanjay Gupta know that domperidone is being used despite being banned by the FDA and that it is being used in a context for which it is not recommended?

So great to see our State Department focused on this.

I’m not sure I believe the specifics in the first post and reply, but there does seem to be an unusual focus on these issues, that could be messing with young kids.
And, there are certainly parents who are looking for LGBTQ cred, and hoping to get it, by proxy, through their kids.
