EXCLUSIVE: CDC accused of 'blurring politics and science' over advice that suggests trans women CAN safely breastfeed — but fails to mention health risks to baby

US health officials were criticized today for advocating that trans women can breastfeed — without highlighting the health risks to the baby.

Several information pages on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website appear to endorse 'chestfeeding' — a term used to describe feeding an infant milk directly from the breast by trans and non-binary parents.

One section, titled 'Health Equity Considerations', claims 'an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed.'

Another section in a Q&A about breast surgery, titled 'Can transgender parents who have had breast surgery breastfeed or chestfeed their infants?', says families may need help with 'medication to induce lactation.'

But doctors told DailyMail.com the CDC has a 'responsibility' to disclose the lack of research and potential risks. One of the medications used to produce milk in biological men has been linked to heart problems in babies. They claimed the agency was blurring lines between 'politics and science'.

The CDC did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Just the term “chest-feed” is gross regardless of being done by male or female.

It takes a beautiful and natural act and turns into something vulgar and unnatural.

(CDC)

Already damaged by the COVID-19(84) hysteria, the CDC continues to lose credibility.

Every day at work (last job) there was an email (or three) about someone had COVID-19 and the buildings in that area had been cleaned according to the CDC blah blah blah.

Virtually every day of every week.

It was exhausting. Mask 😷 on, mask 😷 off, mask 😷 in these areas, it’s over, mask 😷 off, no wait it’s back! Mask 😷 on. Sorry just kidding mask 😷 off. No back in 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷.

What and who is behind this absurdity being forced on everyone, and why? What is the goal?

What is important is that crossdressing men be able to go through the motions of producing something like milk and having the ability to think they are feeding a baby just like a woman does. The baby’s welfare and health are of no concern because the baby is not old enough to sterilize and mutilate, at least in the current state of affairs. Perhaps one day it will be possible to do all that in the womb.

Where I work here at a shipyard in Florida, we were required to wear masks until everyone was in the gate. After that only the people who met the public had to wear them. As soon as our governor started untying the WuFlu knots here the masks went away.

A man trying to breastfeed a baby is sexually assaulting the child. Period.

Really, there’s no point in a long dissertation about this. Plainly and simply it is disgusting. The people promoting it are disgusting and mentally disturbed, the people doing it are disgusting and severely mentally disturbed.

In the end not one of these people gives a good damn about the welfare of a child. Not one of them should be allowed in the presence of a child.

It is the grandchildren of the Communist Party USA from the 30’s and 40’s. Their purpose is to destroy all social norms and all sources of authority except the Party. The individuals they use to advance their cause in this case are the same kind of lost, confused people with a vague sense that something is wrong who are selected for exploitation by pseudo-religious cults. They are encouraged to be completely self-absorbed, and to blame their “alienation” on the intolerance of Society.

“blurring lines between ‘politics and science’.
More like the lines between insanity and science, I’d say.

These are the same people who advised pregnant or breastfeeding moms to get CoupFlu vaxxed, who advised them to get their kids vaxxed.

We shouldn’t be surprised at how little value they place on human life.
