Congratulatiions on Lactating!

It’s been a long hard haul. First they told you you couldn’t do it because you were a boy. Then they told you that even for a girl lactating at fifteen was unlikely unless teen pregnancy was involved. And then the activists became involved.

The legal battle that has consumed the last three months has been nothing short of epic. You’ve fought your parents for liberation, the state for the right to be who you want to be and doctors for the right to treat your body as you want to. But in the end you’ll accomplish your goal at three fifteen PM this Tuesday. Your bruises will have healed and you’ll be able to take your first dose of hormones to make your exquisitely crafted breasts lactate.

You’ll immediately collect the milk in a small bottle and suck it down, smacking your lips rudely as you do so. It’ll taste strange, and you’ll wonder if this is what drinking your own pee is like. You’ll wonder if your mom ever did this, if she ever tried her own milk before she left and took it away from you for good.

Congratulations on Lactating!
