How was a transgender woman able to breast feed?

Did you know that it's possible for a male to produce breast milk?

A transgender woman was able to breast-feed her partner's newborn baby for six weeks, according to a new medical report.

The patient underwent a three-month regimen of hormonal therapy and the use of a breast pump, similar to a process used for women who cannot produce breast milk.  The process produced enough milk to sustain the infant for six weeks.

People born male ARE able to produce milk - in fact lactation can be a side effect of prostate cancer treatment in some cases.

Dr. Maurice Garcia says the report underscores the anatomic similarity between the sexes.
