More research, and perhaps general monitoring of the outcomes, for both trans and cis women who breastfeed kids using the Newman-Goldfarb protocol seems desirable. (Trans women are demonized for choosing to mother in ways that include potential risks; cis women are often expected to perform certain actions and roles, any potential risks that they may personally be uncomfortable taking on be damned.) But it would be a stretch to imagine that induced lactation presents any significant public health concern, or even wild deviation from the inventive ways human beings have thought about milk over the years. The current meltdown over trans women breastfeeding is based not on science but a fear that science is being implemented to help and benefit the wrong people

    Nor do they get outraged about gender affirming surgery like breast augmentation as long as the person is cis.
