Didn't know if it should go in general or mpreg discussion, but this article was too fascinating not to post.

A F-to-M transgender man in Canada applied to be a lactation coach after having breastfed his own child for over two years, but was denied because he identifies as the child's "father" and not the child's "mother," which is a requirement by the organization to be a lactation coach.
Article excerpt:
“You told me that you do not identify as a mother,” LLLC continued. “You are your baby’s father. According to LLL philosophy the roles of mothers and fathers are not interchangeable. I think that this would make it difficult for you to represent LLL philosophy.”
Not interchangeable. Those words resonate strangely to a transgender man.
