I believe that male lactation, while possible, is rare.

Rare cam be a deceptive term, with the current population of the human race 'one in a million' is still 8,000 people.

But also, male lactation, other than infants at birth who have a high exposure to their mother's hormones, is always a significant medial concern, so it isn't something that just sometimes happens.

Males are born with breast tissue, hence the fact they can get breast cancer.

One or more hormones (I assume prolactin is involved) are required to activate lactation.

yeah you're cis alright

Obviously I meant biologically male, come on. I acknowledge that men can lactate.

no, like, their comment was chock-full of good stuff & that's what you decide to focus on? apologies for the "no u," but like, come on.

What was I supposed to have focused on? Because the person I replied to didn't think what I said was so beyond the pale.

explaining the joke ruins the joke

What joke? What on Earth are you talking about? OP didn't tell a joke. I didn't respond with a joke. You didn't respond to me with a joke.
