“For the past six weeks I have been taking a drug called domperidone to increase prolactin in an attempt to be able to produce breast milk so that I can have the experience of breastfeeding,” Buckley wrote.
Buckley received backlash for his post, one of his critics, Sussex, labelled the practice cruel and unethical.
"This is Buckley’s delusional queer theory take on his experience breastfeeding," she wrote online.
The trans woman is claiming that Sussex was inciting hatred, serious contempt or severe ridicule towards him and other transwomen. Sussex rejects the claims made against her, and maintains the position that breastfeeding is exclusively female.
According to Sussex, the online dispute has been going on for years, with Buckley complaining against anyone who has voiced criticism of his lifestyle and parenting choices.

Unfortunately, Australia is a very progressive nation and the people are quick to embrace and affirm mental illness.
