Breast feeding is biologically possible for trans women, there is medication that allows women to produce milk without having been pregnant (not just for trans women, but also biological women who adopted a child, for example). So this is not necessarily a “performative” or “kink” thing, there could be a practical reason for this in the same way that there is a practical reason for biological women to breastfeed their child.
Having said that, it is in my opinion questionable and controversial. The main focus should imo be on the health and safety of the child, not the parent. As far as I know, there are some potential risk involved with the medicine which makes the whole thing questionable to me, but this applies both when it’s used by biological women and trans women.
The main issue that leftists have with posts like this is that they seem to imply that trans women are not able to produce milk and are thus not able to breastfeed, which is misleading. And even if it turned out that this trans-person did it for sexual reasons (which would obviously be bad), it does not mean that all trans people are pedophiles or child molesters or even that all trans people breastfeed children… They are people at the end of the day and like all people, they are not a hivemind, not all of them are evil and not all of them are angels…
Not a troll, but I am a lefty.
