If there had been any medical supervision, why wouldn't you give that evidence?

"Lawyers representing a breastfeeding expert fighting claims she vilified a trans mother will bring medical evidence to court to argue “biological males” could only produce “sweat or pus” from their chest.
Jennifer Buckley has accused former Australian Breastfeeding Association counsellor Jasmine Sussex of vilifying her and transgender women as a group in online posts, according to her complaint lodged in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Ms Sussex is accused of inciting hatred, serious contempt or ridicule towards Ms Buckley, her family and transgender women, through her alleged posts on the then-named Twitter and in media reports, following Ms Buckley documenting her breastfeeding journey.
Responding to Ms Sussex’s submissions, Ms Buckley’s legal team previously stated that she “induced lactation under the supervision and with the knowledge of medical professionals”.
QCAT had determined Ms Buckley’s legal team did not have to hand over medical evidence over the chemical makeup of the fluid given to her child, and that it was not of relevance to whether Ms Sussex had vilified her.
In a QCAT hearing on Tuesday appealing that decision, Ms Buckley’s legal representative Kathleen Foley SC said they would not be advancing a case on the makeup of the breastmilk, whether it was lactation or whether there was medical supervision."
