People magazine is my "brain candy" - in a People article back when the transgender male was still pregnant, his wife was working in inducing lactation in preparation for the birth. I do not recall whether she carried/birthed any children prior to parenting this baby. Sylvia (coincidentally getting ready to watch 'TransAmerica' tonight w/hubby if the kids will go to sleep!) Sylvia Ann Ellison, M.A. [log in to unmask] >> Saw a brief report today on a transgender male (was female) who had recently given birth. What I found interesting was the brief comment that the wife was breastfeeding the baby. I hope they will go into more detail about the breastfeeding, This post is in no way intended to open a discussion about the subject of transgenders, etc, but to let you know about the possibility of a discussion of breastfeeding by a woman who did not carry and birth the infant. *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
