The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has given new guidance for transpeople who want to 'chest feed' children.

According to a Fox News report, the guidance includes information on feeding children with milk produced by chemicals used in gender-reassignment medical operations.

The report sites the Daily Mail who spoke with US health officials that are criticizing the advocacy because it does not highlight the health risks to the baby.

"One of the medications used to produce milk in biological men has been linked to heart problems in babies."

Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox discuss the story.

"So, your selfishness of wanting to have this experience is worth that [risk] for your baby?" asks Kim.
