There was a time not long ago when “trust the science” meant something. When biology was taught plainly, and children were nurtured by adults who believed in protecting the vulnerable—not experimenting on them. But today, that foundation is cracking under the weight of ideology. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the bizarre, deeply troubling rise of “chestfeeding.”

Let’s be clear: this isn’t some quirky word game or harmless inclusive language. “Chestfeeding” is the politically engineered term now being used to describe biological males—usually transgender-identifying individuals—who attempt to breastfeed infants through artificially induced lactation. Yes, men taking hormone cocktails to secrete fluid from their chests, and then feeding it to babies. That’s where we are.

Earlier this summer, the Region of Waterloo Public Health and Paramedic Services in Canada posted a social media ad offering support to help parents “breastfeed/chestfeed” their babies. Unsurprisingly, the public response was swift—and fierce. The post was mocked, ratioed, and eventually taken down from X, although it remained live on platforms that tend to prioritize feelings over facts.

One comment cut straight to the heart of it: “Chests don’t feed, breasts do.” That shouldn’t be controversial. But in 2025, stating biological truths feels like an act of defiance. It shouldn’t be. Because the truth is still the truth, no matter how many hashtags try to smother it.

This isn’t a one-off case. In April, a nursing professor from the University of Regina shared a now-deleted video championing the idea that “transgender men and non-binary parents” can chestfeed. She framed it as a nurturing option, a kind of progressive parenting evolution. But no amount of soft music and clinical terminology can hide the reality: this process requires high-risk drug regimens that were never intended for this purpose.

To induce lactation in a biological male, a person must take a mix of drugs—including contraceptive pills, sedatives, and medications like domperidone. That last one is particularly alarming: domperidone is banned in several countries and has been linked to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. The U.S. FDA warns against its use for lactation, citing risks to both the parent and the baby. Yet somehow, in the name of “affirmation,” these concerns are swept aside.

Even if the synthetic secretions can technically come from a hormonally altered male body, we are still left with the pressing question: is it safe for the baby? The answer? No one really knows. There’s no large-scale study confirming the nutritional safety of these secretions, and no evidence to assure parents—or the children—that what’s being fed is even close to the real thing.

This isn’t just misguided—it’s reckless. We’re asking infants to be the subjects of gender ideology experiments, all while the medical establishment plays along for fear of backlash or being labeled “intolerant.”

The first documented case of a trans-identifying male attempting to “breastfeed” came in 2018, and even now, such cases remain exceedingly rare. Probably for good reason. This practice hasn’t been normalized because it doesn’t belong in normal medical care. It’s not science—it’s science fiction trying to validate an identity at the expense of biology, safety, and truth.

Worse, this phenomenon is part of a much larger crisis. Children and teens are being told they can change their sex with no long-term consequences. But that’s not true. Hormone therapy and irreversible surgeries often leave people sterile, emotionally scarred, and physically debilitated. Puberty blockers interfere with brain development. Mastectomies and genital surgeries don’t come with a reset button.

Christians have always believed in loving the individual, but love also involves truth. And there’s nothing loving about letting someone mutilate their healthy body or risk a baby’s wellbeing to chase a lie.

The Bible tells us God created us male and female—not arbitrarily, but with divine purpose. The human body reflects that purpose, and no amount of pharmaceuticals or surgery can change it. A man does not become a mother by declaring it so. A woman’s body is uniquely designed to nurture life, and pretending otherwise doesn’t make us compassionate—it makes us complicit.

The “chestfeeding” agenda is not about helping babies. It’s not even primarily about helping transgender individuals. It’s about forcing society to affirm an ideology at all costs—even if the cost is truth, health, and children’s safety.

We must stand firm. We must reject the chemical manipulation of bodies for the sake of identity. We must refuse to call experiments on newborns “progress.” And we must say what few dare to say out loud: this is not care. This is not medicine. This is not love.

It’s time we stopped whispering biological truths for fear of offending. It’s time we honored the God-given wisdom of the body and the sacred responsibility of parenting. And it’s long past time we started protecting children again—from confusion, from ideology, and from the dangerous illusion that truth is something we can simply rewrite.
