A footnote to the trans milk affair, now featured in today's Times:

Little research has been done on the transference of high doses of these drugs to babies through milk.

Inducing lactation may not be successful for every transgender woman, and the amount of milk produced can vary widely. Very few transgender women manage to exclusively feed a baby with their milk alone and must supplement with formula, but say the experience is worth it nonetheless.

A paper in the Journal of Human Lactation earlier stated that: “For transgender women … on oestrogen-based, gender-affirming hormone therapy, the ability to nourish their infants through production of their own milk may be a profoundly gender-affirming experience.”

Little research on the effect on babies of this cocktail of drugs, but for the autogynephilic men "the experience is worth it nonetheless", and it "may be a profoundly gender-affirming experience". That's the story, in a nutshell.
