Cool, I got quote tweeted by Baroness Nicholson when describing how breast growth and lactation can be induced in anyone, not just cis women, and now I'm seeing trans women be called fetishists for the mere idea they could breastfeed their kids 
'Reasonable concerns' my ass.

Quick, someone better tell every breastfeeding mother on the planet that they could be passing estrogen on to their kids!
I have absolutely no interest in anonymising accounts that say things like this. Full disclosure, this is in response to my 'Sure, cis men could also take hormones and breastfeed' tweet, but the conversation is very clearly about trans women doing so.
I think @karamantha might be right, this person just isn't reading.
'You are male you cannot breastfeed. And if you can, you shouldn't'
That sounds like a moral judgement to me, not a scientific one

'Go back to being a male looking male', I'm sorry does this person think if a trans woman stops taking estrogen her boobs deflate or something? Does she think that happens to menopausal women as well?

The only explanation I can come up with at this point is that their hatred is so strong that genuinely *cannot comprehend* the idea that hormones have a drastic effect on the body. They just... Refuse to accept it.
