Abstract:Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a importância da linguagem neutra no campo do aleitamento humano, a partir da perspectiva da interseccionalidade queer. Em 2013, foi publicada a Política Nacional de Saúde Integral de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transsexuais, porém, serviços e profissionais de saúde carecem de instrução e capacitação para atender às necessidades de saúde da população LGBTQIA+, que não se encaixa no padrão da heterocisnormatividade.

“…One article reflected, from the perspective of intersectionality, on the use of neutral language in the field of lactation. It also cited obstacles, including failure to apply knowledge in lactation induction and ignorance of the fact that trans people can become pregnant and chestfeed 23 . There are no guidelines covering the necessary specifics to equip HMB professionals to accommodate this population, which leads to doubts and inequity in care.…”

“…The desire to resume testosterone use may be implicated in cessation of breastfeeding. Despite reports of this hormone's being used during lactation 23,29 , there is no evidence it is safe for the baby's health 13 .…”
This article tried, from an intersectional standpoint, to grasp the challenges experienced by health professionals and service users of human milk banks in provision of care for transgender men chestfeeding. This exploratory, descriptive qualitative study drew on interviews of six human milk bank staff, who had previously assisted trans men in relation to chestfeeding and two bisexual trans men, who chestfed. The data was treated by thematic analysis, supported by Atlas.ti software, version 9.0. Lacunas in the educational, institutional and management spheres, associated with personal and social issues, reproduce a pre-conceived normative model and disregard the special demands of providing chestfeeding care for the trans population. Cisheteronormativity and “professional supremacy” operate in personal, social and institutional respects to segregate transgender men in lactation support services. Intersectional analysis of these challenges affords an overall view of segregative factors and enables public policies to be introduced to promote social justice.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apreender os desafios nas vivências dos usuários e profissionais de Banco de Leite Humano no atendimento a homens transgêneros no contexto da amamentação sob à luz da Interseccionalidade. Estudo qualitativo descritivo-exploratório a partir de entrevistas realizadas com seis profissionais do Banco de Leite Humano, que atenderam previamente homens trans no contexto de amamentação, e dois homens trans bissexuais, que amamentaram ao peito. Os dados foram tratados pela Análise Temática com auxílio do software Atlas.ti versão 9.0. Observam-se lacunas nas esferas educacionais, institucionais e na gestão, associadas a questões pessoais e sociais, que reproduzem um modelo pré-concebido normativo, desconsiderando as singularidades requeridas no atendimento à população trans no contexto da amamentação. A cisheteronormatividade e a supremacia do profissional operam em âmbitos pessoais, sociais e institucionais para a segregação de homens transgêneros nos serviços de suporte à amamentação. A análise interseccional destes desafios permite uma visão global dos fatores de segregação e a implementação de políticas públicas promotoras da justiça social.
