UK hospital system, University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT), asserts that trans-women's milk is comparable to biological women's breast milk after hormone treatment. The hospital supports the use of drugs like domperidone for lactation in trans-women, despite potential risks. USHT's guidance on the drug is no longer available on its website. The stance has faced criticism for prioritizing trans identities over traditional breastfeeding practices.
