    They are not pregnant, they get prolactin, which you can buy at every pharmacy. It works on men as well.

    Edit: I’ve done some research and you people seem to be right. Hormones only get used on a very limited scale in the USA. In the EU, they are even illegal because there’s no research to support them. And it’s not prolactin that’s being used for that, but Bovine somatotropin.

      What the fuck are you talking about, and why is this garbage upvoted? Prolactin can affect milk yield. But “they are not pregnant” is absolute, categorical horseshit. You’ve either bought a lie or are lying. Look at that paper and see the disgusting, brutal efficiency with which the dairy industry researches how best to precisely rape, forcibly impregnate, and steal the offspring of cows so they can eke out fractions of a cent on each gallon of milk sold.

      “Tofu will give you boobs.” “Prolactin supplements without pregnancy can drive commercial milk production.” The universe of bizarre omnivore misconceptions is apparently just a transfem paradise.
