Wow, hopefully it will go through.

All these changes have been dizzying, but do people think they will be overturned when labour gets in ?

Well that's cheered me up! Should never have got to this stage but finally sense is creeping back in to society.

I recommend The Word is Woman where Milli Hill documents the crazy erasure of the word 'woman'. La Leche League is one of those so desperate to be inclusive that it seems to overlook who does the vast majority of breastfeeding.

Common Misconception
Myth: "Exclusive bodyfeeding is what every family should do"

Fact: Families should be supported to feed human milk in the capacity they desire, are able to attain, sustain and enjoy.

Oh, thank Christ!

Good. It’ll take some doing, lots of vested interests in the NHS, but promising she’s trying.

how long before we look back at all this and think "what the fuck was that about?" 5 years? ten years?

Great news. I hope this approach remains after the election.

Good, let's end the madness. Chestfeeding, uterus / vagina / cervix havers, menstruators.... the whole lot of it can just fuck off! I hate it!

Thank god. If nothing else milk is produced by breast tissue which males and females have. You don’t call it chest cancer if a male has breast cancer.
