Such a treat to read this beautiful essay. I particularly appreciated Shanley's explanation about their feelings toward breastfeeding and how it relates to gender. Keep up the terrific content!

Ben, thank you for sharing your space with Shanley! What a treat. As a transmasc nonbinary parent of two I wish there had been more info for me to find back when we started our parenting journey. Glad to see things are improving slowly. Thank you, Shanley, for helping build this bridge in our community.
