Last month, in my first virtual meeting with a new client, I asked them how they identify and what they call their anatomy. Their baby was three weeks old. They were surprised I even asked them, because ever since conceiving, all of their other healthcare providers have failed to do so at each opportunity. The client shared that they identify as non-binary and refer to their feeding anatomy as their chest (not their breasts). They then got a bit flushed and choked up, and I began to think, as their lactation consultant, Maybe I messed up. But no, as it turns out, this parent was getting emotional because they finally felt seen, for the first time. Being acknowledged in this way brought up the pain of the countless times they weren’t able to express themselves, their identity and their needs.
The parenting sphere can be wildly heteronormative, which can make queer parents feel invisible and unwelcome, over and over again—often unintentionally. Simply by being curious and asking two super simple questions, I made someone’s experience as a sleep-deprived new parent a hell of a lot more meaningful.

I don’t give a rat’s ass. I’m beyond sick of this trans nonsense. BTW, I identify as a long lost son of Elvis Presley. Observe: Thunk you, thunk you bery much.
First off, “identifying as …” is a notion ridiculous in itself.
What one may “identify as” has little bearing on reality.
I will not be compelled to humor such idiocy.
I knew it was coming.
Yes, look at the head and neck. It doesn’t look right.
Have to go to college for a long time to get that stupid, I reckon.
“Maybe I messed up.”

Yep. You messed up. Bigly. The minute you failed to kick those queers out of your office - you messed up.
I always thought chest feeding was what happened with the crumbs after eating potato chips on the couch.
No, I don’t think I will.
No it's not.
It's time to capitalize IMBECILES!!! in my vocabulary and add exclamation points...
no...
As a woman how pumped, breastfed, and bottle fed, I’m never using this term.
Sorry, that is a female only function.
Azura Goodman needs to be out selecting mattresses for her wall.
“...and refer to their feeding anatomy”
This person will be rearing a child? God help that poor babe.
“Sorry, that is a female only function.”
But I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me? Lol
No. It's not. My vocabulary works just fine without Newspeak.
