The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has once again proven that it has zero credibility when it comes to providing accurate information. We all remember how they misled the public during the COVID crisis, pushing mRNA vaccines despite knowing that they didn’t actually stop the transmission of the virus. And to make matters worse, their former director Rochelle Walensky even contracted COVID herself. Talk about hypocrisy!
But now, the CDC has decided to delve into the contentious world of transgender politics. They are actually endorsing the practice of “chestfeeding” by trans individuals who were assigned male at birth. Yes, you read that right. They are providing tips on how biological males can produce more milk. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?
The CDC’s website includes a page titled “Health Equity Considerations” where they discuss the ability of transgender and nonbinary individuals to give birth and breastfeed or “chestfeed.” They even acknowledge that the gender identity of these individuals does not align with their biological sex. They also list alternative terms for feeding babies, like nursing, chestfeeding, or bodyfeeding. As if things weren’t confusing enough already.
Now, I don’t understand what any of this has to do with disease control, which is supposedly the CDC’s mission. Last time I checked, they were supposed to be protecting us from diseases, not endorsing made-up terms and confusing gender identities.
But the absurdity doesn’t stop there. The CDC also provides a list of dos and don’ts for doctors when dealing with trans patients. They advise doctors to ask which pronouns the patients prefer and to announce their own pronouns to make it easier for others to share theirs. They even caution against spending too much time apologizing if you accidentally use the wrong pronoun. Seriously, when did gender pronouns become the focus of medical care?
The problem with the CDC’s “chestfeeding” guidance is that it lacks scientific evidence and ignores the potential risks for the baby. Doctors have raised concerns about the use of medications to produce milk in biological men, as they have been linked to heart problems in babies. But hey, who needs science when you can just push a woke agenda?
UK: A trans-identified male who recently sparked controversy for being profiled as a "struggling mum" during a news segment on the cost of living crisis has now revealed he breastfed his baby.

It’s clear that the CDC is more interested in politics and messaging than actual science. This is just another example of how the agency has become overtly politicized and can no longer be trusted. Just like the Department of Justice, they have lost all credibility. It’s time for a reality check and a return to focusing on what really matters – protecting public health.
