Two very different News articles that made me... lulz...
- Thread starter Rot
- Start date
Thanks for the reminder - it took me a long time to get this scene out of my mind when it first aired...

Maybe it was that Chinese dude's plan all along to kill his friend during that "burglary". "Not my fault, your honor, he zigged when he should have zagged!"
The article looks legit, but it's hard to swallow (pun intended) that a man could produce breast milk that is the same nutritional equivalent as a woman's (and one would think that the hormones and testosterone blocker he has to take in order to do so would contaminate the milk, but I don't know enough about the science behind it, so, maybe not). In the past, I think I've read about normal, straight men lactating when their wife does, "sympathetic lactation" or some such thing, but I believe that's just a little dribble, not enough to feed a baby. There was also an article in Time magazine about a year or two ago about a trans man that went off of his hormone treatment to breast feed his kid, but he was a woman to begin with. The accompanying photos of an obese woman, with a beard, breastfeeding her child were bizarre to say the least.
