Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...wing-men-identify-female-attend-meetings.htmlA breastfeeding charity has sparked outrage by allowing men who identify as female to attend meetings for mothers struggling to feed their babies.
The British branch of the La Leche League (LLLGB) is offering to provide breastfeeding support to transgender women, who were born male.
The charity – founded in 1956 by a group of mothers – runs 80 local groups across Britain where a La Leche 'leader' and mothers will exchange advice.
The support is also there for transgender men, who were born female but identify as male, and non-binary people who do not classify themselves as either gender.
A statement on the charity's website says: 'Trans men, trans women and non-binary individuals may choose to breastfeed or chestfeed their babies.
'You do not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed, as we can also see in the experiences of those nursing adopted babies.'
Chestfeeding is a term used to avoid causing offence to women who have transitioned to become men and feel uncomfortable using the word 'breast.'
LLLGB advises that transgender women can 'stimulate their milk supply' by going through a lengthy process of taking birth control hormones and an anti-nausea drug to induce lactation.
But this week a former La Leche League leader told how 'alarmed' she was at the prospect of trans women joining meetings with other mothers in a post on Mumsnet.
She wrote: 'I was a La Leche League leader for many years and am very upset to see how the organisation has lost its focus on the mother and baby.
'LLLGB should not be promoting the idea that males can induce lactation to feed a baby.
'There is no evidence to say this is safe, only an anecdotal example of a case where a doctor in the US enabled this to happen using off label drugs,' she added.
Another Mumsnet user wrote: 'It is really depressing that a breastfeeding charity isn't prioritising breastfeeding.
tl;dr
1. Be charity that is focused on breastfeeding and helping women who struggle.
2. Also invite trannies.
3. Forget Step 1
Did the world go fucking mad?
