Trans men should be supported to chestfeed their babies should they choose to do so, according to experts.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has issued a new draft guideline which says that trans men should be asked about their preferred manner of feeding before their baby is born and those who chose to chestfeed should be offered “chestfeeding support in the same manner as for cis-women”.
MSN reports: The guideline covers care for trans and gender diverse people though childbirth, contraception, fertility, gynaecological procedures and cancer treatment and care.

The document, which has been put out for consultation, makes a series of recommendations to help improve care.
It also says trans and gender diverse people should be offered advice about fertility preservation when considering gender-affirming surgery or hormone therapies.
It advises that trans men who conceive while taking masculinising hormone therapy should stop taking the hormones “as soon as possible” while those who are planning to conceive should stop their therapy for three months prior to conception.
And it urges healthcare workers to be aware trans and gender diverse people often face barriers when accessing healthcare services and to take steps to ensure they have easy access to care without “their gender being questioned or their confidentiality breached”.

Meanwhile they absolutely gaurantee that everyone else has no confidentiality at all ,but theyre all trained to keep it a secret from each one of us .
“Or their confidentiality breached”.That’s just bizzare Obviously every nurse and Dr treating them knows their trans and obviously the whole medical cal community talk about them clinically, of course, so they have no” confidentiality “. And why should their confidentiality be any different to any other patients when doctors confidentiality is meant to be a granted? What does it all really mean. What is it really saying?
