This is a screenshot of a real question in a test for a 4th year paediatric module in a medical school in Australia. The sender has requested to remain anonymous for obvious reasons as they would no doubt be penalised for challenging this political narrative.

It is incredibly alarming that this medical school has thrown out scientifically accurate terminology and concepts to appease gender ideologues. The question is the promotion of a political narrative, it is not based on reality of facts.

A 28 year old transgender man presents to the General Practice clinic with his two-week old infant. He gave birth vaginally after an uncomplicated pregnancy during which he temporarily discontinued testosterone therapy. He has not had a double mastectomy. He expresses a desire to breastfeed but is concerned about resuming testosterone. He has no significant medical history apart from gender dysphoria and takes no medications currently. On examination, both he and the infant appear well with vital signs within normal limits. The infant is gaining weight appropriately.”

Which of the following is the most appropriate management plan?

• • Continue without testosterone while chestfeeding

• • Resume testosterone with concurrent chestfeeding

• • Commence formula feeding only

• • Start microdosing testosterone while chestfeeding

• • Alternate between formula and chestfeeding

A human with a female reproductive system and the ability to give birth and breastfeed is a female. There is no evidence that any kind of man can do this uniquely female accomplishment. 

This medical school is redefining common language and scientific concepts. They are displaying utter contempt for reality and biology. How on earth can they be trusted to train up the next generation of medical practitioners when they care so little for accuracy and facts?

Changing pronouns or names, wearing costumes or taking drugs does not change the reality that it is ONLY females who have a vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries and breasts. 

Redefining breastfeeding as “chestfeeding” is ludicrous. “Chest” refers to a relatively large anatomical region that contains a number of systems – cardiovascular, respiratory and mammary glands among them.

Breasts are an organ that produce breast milk by females for their babies. Redefining words won’t change this fact. Appeasing activists won’t enhance the level of professional, evidence based care. It reduces a person to unreliable feelings that can minimise or ignore serious medical issues.

Indoctrinating medical trainees, gaslighting them with words and concepts that are clearly not biologically or anatomically correct will reduce medical standards and trust.

This is a clear breach of ethical and medical standards and should be addressed immediately.
