Conclusions

The majority of participants chose to chestfeed while some did not due to
physical or mental health reasons. Care providers should communicate an
understanding of gender dysphoria and transgender identities in order to
build patient trust and provide competent care. Further, health care
providers need to be knowledgeable about lactation and chest care following
chest masculinization surgery and during binding, regardless of the chosen
feeding method and through all stages: before pregnancy, during pregnancy,
postpartum, and afterward.

I am not on any lactation board so I can speak my mind now. My Indigenous
community (the people that weren't colonized by Christianity as deeply as
others) stands with 2SLGBTQ+.

We all need to be culturally humble when providing care to anyone who wants
assistance, regardless of their story. It's their life, not ours. As we say
to those who don't like nursing in public, if you don't like it, you don't
have to focus on it.

In December, I gained a daughter who was assigned male at birth. She is the
happiest and the most confident I have ever seen her. Being Indigenous (and
believing our teachings prior to colonization), I have always loved and
supported 2SLGBTQ+ folx.

This is now personal to me.

"For in love, we can do all things," but we can't change people's minds who
are so fully against topics of their choosing.
