So disappointing to note that zero midwifery or breastfeeding organisations in Australia spoke up for vulnerable young women like Elizabeth when demands for gender affirmation without question were made.
This ongoing medical scandal is here revealed as not only traumatising to the victims of these abuses but also to the next generation: the infant desperately searching for the absent breast is a heartbreaking image, tragically illustrating the reality of trans-generational transmission of trauma.
This is surely a situation never before seen on the scale at which it is happening and will continue to occur: babies born to mothers with no breasts at all (or worse, mastectomised mothers on testosterone who identify as male).
Previously this would only have occurred during famines when mothers’ breasts may shrivel through starvation or when mothers have had a total bilateral mastectomy due to breast cancer. Of course many mums can’t breastfeed but almost all nestle their baby at the breast when they bottle feed them, thus simulating breastfeeding. Mothers who have had cancer related mastectomies are not likely to suffer the same regret and self-blame we see after "gender affirming" mastectomies and we know from decades of research that the mother's angst can be transferred to the child.
The first two years of life are when children are at greatest risk of sustaining long lasting developmental trauma. Are supports being provided to help these traumatised mothers and infants get through this crucial period successfully? Unlikely.
This is a fresh hell brought to us by “the magic of science” that will likely deliver adverse consequences we won’t even comprehend till these children come of age.
Spot on Bernard, the fear level is extremely high. No one wants to be cast out as a “transphobe” (read: heretic) putting at risk their job, their registration, their reputation and their relationships with friends, family and colleagues. The stakes are way too high. Fear of speaking out is inherent to the health care professions where conformity is enforced from day one. Weaponising the registration bodies and even criminalising dissent as the trans activists have done (with the help of compliant politicians) has added a whole new layer of intimidation leading to forced collusion or at least silence.

Surely, at some point insight and logic must prevail as it did with past medical disasters.
Thereafter accounting will be demanded of those engaging in and promoting this dreadful process.
I suspect there is quite a lot of insight & logic out there in the health sector -- but there is too much fear for it to be expressed openly.
I’m sure this is correct- look what happens to medicos who urge caution or express concern.
