I am going to post this quote a lot:
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

The point of calling it “chestfeeding” instead of breastfeeding is not to be inclusive, it’s to humiliate people into uttering nonsensical lies.
I can prove it.
From the American Cancer Society:
What Is Breast Cancer in Men?
Breast cancer occurs mainly in women, but men can get it, too. Many people do not realize that men have breast tissue and that they can develop breast cancer. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer and can spread to other areas.
Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is malignant (cancer) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.
From the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation:
Since men have breast tissue, they can get breast cancer, but it’s rare. About 1 percent of all breast cancer cases in the U.S. occur in men. It may sound like a small number, but that’s still more than 2,000 new cases expected each year. Also, about 400 men in the U.S. are expected to die from breast cancer each year.
Statistically, that means that more cis-gendered men will get breast cancer than non-binary and trans-men who will give birth.
Moreover, the word breast refers to the tissue, which exists in both males and females.
It’s not breast cancer in women and chest cancer in men, it’s breast cancer because it develops in breast tissue.
The only reason to stop calling it breastfeeding, in reference to the milk-producing tissue, to chestfeeding, in reference to the part of the body, is to humiliate women into submission.
Never give in.
The number of Americans who die from any kind of rifle is typically about 300-350 per year.
Which means more men will die from breast cancer than all Americans from AR-15s.
Where is the “Progressive” priority again?
This woman, I assume, says calling it breast feeding is hurtful to some trans individuals. I want to meet this person who is hurt by the term. I want her to name a single person she knows personally that is hurt.
Also. Should the part of the armor that is worn on the front of the body, above the waist and below the neck now be referred to as the ‘chest plate’? And, is a jacket where the front front of the jacket overlaps more than an inch or so now called a double chested jacket?
Asking for a friend.
I am a mother who gave birth to and nursed four children. I chose to set my own career aside to raise my children because I believe motherhood is one of the highest and holiest callings a woman can have. I once had a medical appointment with a physician who, when she learned I had three children and was pregnant with my fourth, started grilling me about whether I was abused at home. (Because why else would a woman have four children and stay home to raise a family?) When I was a CPA, people respected me. I’d tell people what I did, and they ooh’ed and ahhh’ed. After I had children, I’d tell people I was home with my children (or worse, that I homeschooled), and they’d look at me like I had three heads. Or, they’d give a backhanded comment, like, “I need more mental stimulation than that,” or “I’d be bored staying home all day.” Passing the CPA exam with marks in the 80s and 90s on my first attempt was easy. Raising children was HARD .. but still the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I don’t begrudge anyone their choices in life. Do what you are called to do … but don’t belittle my calling by saying that it is somehow offensive.
