Some men need to grow a pair somewhere else.

At least they won’t be able to say “As useless as teats on a (boar hog) man” anymore.

One lactating fake “father” claimed he was producing milk from those meds. Can’t remember how much, but he said he exclusively breast fed for a couple of months. I looked up how much breast milk newborns require, and it was 10 times the amount of breast milk this doofus extracted. Lying fool.

Do fake men menstruate, after taking testosterone?

Males definitely can produce breast milk.

Some medications will cause it as they raise the level of prolactin.

It’s not uncommon for newborn males to have swollen breasts and a small release of milk due to exposure to the mother’s prolactin.

Estrogen and progesterone will cause the breast to develop fully and produce the maximum amount of milk but those with smaller breasts can still lactate.

Milk production in mammals depends on a feedback mechanism, nipple stimulation causes release of oxytocin and this raises prolactin and eventually causes lactation.

If nipple stim slacks off and the milk glands are at increased pressure due to milk not being removed then prolactin levels drop dramatically and milk stops flowing. This is why moms need to pump every two hours to maintain production.

Moms who have a hard time having a let-down response can buy a nasal spray that delivers a dose of oxytocin immediately. Oxytocin is called the love hormone because it creates a calming, loving state. I believe you can order it on EBAY as it is not a controlled substance.

Nipple stim causes an immediate oxytocin release and odd as it sounds can be used to create an immediate calming effect in both males and females.

Islam can’t conquer Sweden fast enough. They deserve their slavery.

In the 1980’s somebody marketed a chest harness that held two formula bottles aimed straight downward, meant for new fathers to empathize with the female nursing experience.

Even that didn’t have the yuk factor of this latest horror.

Idk. Probably depends on how much. I’d assume enough testosterone to cause a lady to grow whiskers would likely cause her to stop menstruating.

Remember the “pregnant man” of a few years ago? That bearded lady had to stop taking testosterone and switch to estrogen, in order to turn herself back into her original self, which was a woman, and get pregnant.
So I assume she resumed menstruating.
