Actor Rainn Wilson could not genuflect and apologize fast enough to the trans community after tweeting “a mean crack about breastfeeding vs chestfeeding” on Thursday.
The offending tweet on Thursday quipped, “TIL you can no longer say ‘nursing or breastfeeding mother’ you have to say ‘chestfeeding person.’ Just FYI.”
“The Office” star pathetically begged forgiveness after sending out the tweet.
“Yesterday I tweeted a mean crack about breastfeeding vs chestfeeding. After speaking with some Trans friends and educating myself a bit more I want to apologize for the tweet. It was adding to misinformation and meanness. I’m sorry.”
The Daily Beast is reporting that Wilson’s tweet may have resulted from a recent U.K. public health service guide that encouraged more inclusive language for trans parents, specifically in regards to midwifery.

Progressives praised the bending of both knees by Wilson. Conservatives… not so much.
“I’m embarrassed for you,” tweeted Seth Dillon, who is the CEO of the notorious satire site, Babylon Bee.

“Perhaps you should talk with some actual nursing mothers and educate yourself about why the term ‘chestfeeding’ is offensive and degrading to women. (Women, in case you are confused, are the humans who are able to breastfeed children),” former senior adviser to President Donald Trump Stephen Miller sarcastically tweeted.
“Woke Democrats are trying to erase women and erase the experiences of women,” he stated in a follow-up tweet.

“Absolutely pathetic…” astutely tweeted BlazeTV host Dave Rubin.
“Serious beta energy,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck snarked.
Wilson has stepped in it before. Last year he remarked that people who decided to not get the COVID jab seemed to be the angriest that the government had not put an end to the pandemic.
“People who refuse to get vaccinated seem to be the angriest that the government hasn’t ‘fixed’ or ‘stopped’ the virus by now. Please explain,” he tweeted in December.

The actor tweeted on Thursday, “Here’s why so many people who don’t want ‘government overreach’ long for something approaching authoritarianism: … . I have no idea.”

Wilson joins a long list of celebrities who have apologized for being politically incorrect.
Singer and songwriter Lizzo apologized earlier this week for a lyric in her new song “GRRRLs” after fans claimed she used an ableist slur, according to The Wrap. Lizzo released a new version of the song that ditched the line “I’m a sp-z,” citing the fact that it comes from the word “spastic,” which is used to classify certain disabilities.
“It’s been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song, ‘GRRRLS’. Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat Black woman in America, I’ve had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally),” Lizzo tweeted.
“I’m proud to say there’s a new version of GRRRLS with a lyric change. This is the result of me listening and taking action. As an influential artist I’m dedicated to being part of the change I’ve been waiting to see in the world,” she stated.

But I was Jill and now I’m Bob but I had a baby and I now chestfeed my baby as a crazy lunatic that belongs in a mental institution
What a loser.
Until BIOLOGICAL MALES are breastfeeding their babies, you WOKE morons can go SHOVE IT!
Biology is one category and psychology is a separate category. The low IQ can’t distinguish between the two; somewhat like a baby playing with their poop.
I’ve never believed in macro-evolution but I know for certain that human beings can and are devolving.
“When I was a child, I thought as a child, I acted as a child. But when I became [a grown up responsible human being] I put away childish things.”
Their god is $, not truth.
EFF you. You pathetic excuse for a human being
Bullied into submission is ok though. Way to support your opinion!
A trans man is a biological female, and not a real man. That’s why the word trans is used. If she still has breasts, she can breastfeed. Chestfeeding is a madeup fake word. I’m a woman who BREASTfed my baby. I am not a menstruating person, a birthing person, or a bleeder. Those are all made-up terms, and insulting to actual women.
You forgot term breeder which I as a 100% woman find REALLY offensive
Only biological females can menstruate, get pregnant, give birth, and breastfeed. You can put lipstick on a pig but it will still be a pig. We, as a society, need to stop pandering to the mentally ill fringe.
A man “breastfeeding” is commonly referred to as starving the child to death!!
I had to explain to a guy recently why formula feeding is not lazy. He actually said that mom’s who use formula are too lazy to breast feed. It is really the opposite, breastfeeding is far less work. I just wish men who have no clue would stay out of the discussion, and woman too I guess.
I had to explain that, as well. The formula shortage brought out a lot of crazy comments , mostly asking why women didn’t just breastfeed – problem solved! I had to counter with facts…if a mom hasn’t been breatsfeeding all along, sticking a boob in a baby’s mouth won’t produce milk immediately, if at all. So I guess it’s okay for babies to go without food while waiting for a mom’s breastmilk to come in, huh?. Secondly, some women just don’t produce enough. Or they may be on chemo, or other medications that can get into their milk and are dangerous for babies. Or maybe – and here’s a thought – they CHOSE not to breast feed. Some women are full time workers and don’t have a lot of opportunity to pump or anywhere to store milk. And they’re working and paying taxes so they can go to a grocery store and buy formula if that’s what they choose! Plus their taxes are going to pay for a lot of other things the clueless people of this country enjoy.
Not every woman can breastfeed, no matter how hard she tries. There are many reasons to use formula, including if the mother has to take medication that can get into her milk. However, if a woman works, pumping her breasts and storing her milk is a lot of work.
The TRUTH is neither misinformation, nor meanness..
It is simply the TRUTH !
This man, IF I’m allowed to use that term anymore….whom I have never heard of, is an idiot !
WTF has happened to this country ?
Are we all Fucked up ?
Had enough yet America ?
Woke idiots who were indoctrinated at their universities are causing this.
Women are women period! Men are men! When someone is dug up there are only two sex’s that can be applied period. Your bone s only show weather your a man or women no matter what you have done to yourself! Until you can be identified from your bones differently I’ll call you what you are, not what you THINK you are!
