Leftists are now promoting the use of domperidone on a transgender woman (male-to-female) who was given the banned drug to induce lactation.
Domperidone has been banned in the U.S. by the Federal Drug Administration for over a decade, but that won’t stop the Left from pushing their agenda.
“Thanks to the work on induced lactation in Transgender women by Dr. Tamar Reisman and nurse practitioner and program manager Zil Goldstein at the Mt. Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery, a Transgender mother was not only able to breastfeed her child, but to be the baby’s exclusive food source for its first six weeks of life,” Romper reports.
The individual was capable of breastfeed for six weeks and supplemented breast milk with formula until the baby reached six months old.
Domperidone belongs to a group of medicines called ‘dopamine antagonists’. It is used in adults and in children to treat nausea and vomiting. As a side effect, the drug can cause an increasing of milk production by increasing prolactin production by the pituitary gland.
The report:
“A 30-year-old transgender woman who had been receiving feminizing hormone therapy for the past 6 years presented to our clinic with the goal of being able to breastfeed her adopted infant. After implementing a regimen of domperidone, estradiol, progesterone, and breast pumping, she was able to achieve sufficient breast milk volume to be the sole source of nourishment for her child for 6 weeks. This case illustrates that, in some circumstances, modest but functional lactation can be induced in transgender women.
“The FDA is reportedly still worried about the possible effects of domperidone on infants, since the drug is passed through breast milk”, according to Romper.
Final Thoughts
Domperidone was not designed to induce increased lactation, rather it is a drug designed to help retreat nausea and there exists serious risks with taking domperidone. Risks such as developing cardiac arrhythmias, heart attacks, and even death.
But progressives often chooses to ignore facts and will go to any lengths to convince themselves that gender can be chosen, even if that means ingesting a potentially dangers drug and passing it along to their child. These leftists need to realize that we as individuals are not able to decide our own biology, be it race sex or age. Unfortunately in this case the ones who stand to lose the most have absolutely no say in the matter.
But hey, most Western countries currently both allow and encourage children to engage in gender reassignment therapy, so no big surprise they want to feed drugged-up breast milk to babies, right?
Omg ewww!! And that is wrong!!! And if this drug has been banned then there are side affects that are way to bad for it to be used for the public!
I will be surprised if anyone sees my reply here, but I feel like this is what I would have said if I thought everything in this article was completely true.
I like also how this comment does not focus on shaming the “radical left” whose ideas of gender are “nonsensical”
Drugs are often used for purposes for which they were not designed as positive side effects are observed. This particular drug is used by women who have difficulty producing milk and can be ordered from other countries with a doctors approval. A waver must also be provided by the person obtaining the drug which states it is not more than a 90 day supply, is only for personal use and possesses a letter of approval from a licensed doctor. GTFOIAR
Why am I even here
What if I told you that the person in the picture was a trans man (born female) who kept his organs intact in transition and gave birth and breastfed the baby what if this story is mostly lies? It’s true! Crazy, right!? Not to me!
The very, very few of you reading this are probably all conservatives, big fossil fuel, anti lgbtq+, racist, anti immigrant, middle/upper class Americans and Canadians. I really hope you would not hate on people who do not agree with your values and try to listen to and learn from the experiences of those who are less privileged than you.
I still don’t know why I typed this comment but I am a depressed (older) zoomer who just wants to get some writing practice in and get feelings out during a very stressful time. The 2020 US presidential election will probably be called tomorrow.
In my time zone, it is almost midnight and I should just go to bed and get good sleep before online classes tomorrow.
Anyway, I’m sorry if I raised your blood pressure by a large amount. Have a good day and stay safe and happy.
if you are like me, you post a comment hoping your thoughts get through to just one asshat and it makes a difference in someones life. Or, you just like poking bears with big sticks for the comical reaction. I am one of those too.
Yey I am not the only one
If Trump wins the presidency again unjustly with a court ruling with the help of newly confirmed Amy Cony Barrett, then I’m out of here. I don’t want to live here with American democracy at its collapse. Maybe I’ll move to Canada! Even with the many problems it has like the beliefs that caused things like this website come to be, it is quite pleasant compared to the battlefield of the United States; the wasteland south of Canada.
My rambles shall end, as it is midnight now. FYI: I do try my best to adhere to facts even though I am what you might call a “effemimate radical leftist punk”
And antifa at that
It’s tomorrow and I still have no idea why I wrote these harsh comments
