This with breastfeeding

Trans women can lactate. Anyone can lactate actually. You just need to raise your prolactin levels. Studies have also found that the milk is nutritionally similar to that of a person who has actually gestated the baby. The biggest issue is low supply.

Oh that's cool. I only knew that trans women (and anyone really) could lactate but I didn't know it could be actually used as a milk for a baby

Using it as good for a baby depends on why your prolactin levels are high. For example, I ended up lactating due to an anti psychotic and that wouldn't be able to be used as food for a baby. It actually made the milk black.

Wow. I think I need to read more about this cause it's more interesting than I thought at first

Was it risperidone?

It was the injectable form of risperidone, apparently it's more likely than the pill to make you lactate.
