You definitely are a woman because you menstruate- but also because you produce large gametes. Breastfeeding is the third stage of female reproduction: conception, pregnancy, lactation - nipple secretions in the absence of this process is fairly unsuccessful, particularly in a male body. Medically defined as galactorrhea. Doctors are ethically obliged to not experiment on human babies, particularly when sabotaging a reliable food source - Mothers Milk.

Thank you so much! As a woman much older than you I can't tell you how reassuring it is to see someone calling out the craziness. Transplanting wombs into biological males - ugh - reminds me of the Island of Dr Moreau and similar horrors ... grotesque and what a shocking waste of resources.
