Abstrakt: There are countless proven benefits of breastfeeding, and the demand for such a right in health for transfeminine people is rarely addressed in the literature, reinforcing inequities in health. The article aims to conduct a scoping review of lactation induction for transfeminine people in the health care context. Systematic literature review in six selected databases, looking for articles with terms related to lactation and transfeminine people. Data were extracted and analyzed, summarizing the main results in tables. Three hundred ninety articles were found. After the exclusion of the duplicates there was a selection by title/abstract and a following selection by the full reading of the remaining articles, considering the pre-determined exclusion and inclusion criteria. Twenty-one articles were included, published between 2018 and 2023. Among them, six are case reports with unprecedented information on the topic, and the others are publications in various formats. Lactation induction was achieved in all the case reports. There is a fragile and recent body of evidence affirming the success of lactation induction in transgender women. There is a necessity to support this demand by health professionals and robust studies to optimize necessary interventions.
