Six trustees of a nationwide breastfeeding support group have been suspended for demanding that biological men be excluded from their services.

The British wing of <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/H8gDN/www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2022/04/01/nhs-thrall-deranged-progressive-ideology-harming-mothers-babies/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">La Leche League (LLL), which gives mother-to-mother support to those finding it <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/H8gDN/www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/what-i-really-wish-id-known-about-breastfeeding-that-might-have/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hard to breastfeed, has been told by its US-based board of directors that the service cannot be single sex and they <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/H8gDN/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/08/shouldnt-men-breastfeed-too/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">must support “male lactation”.

The suspended trustees have now complained to the Charity Commission, saying the charity’s demand that trans women were admitted was against UK law because single-sex places are protected.

Kemi Badenoch, the equalities minister, has asked members of the public for examples of state bodies misapplying the rules on single-sex spaces.

How did the breastfeeding communities fall for this nonsense? Of all the things? Of all the communities?

It really does make you wonder what is going on. Did someone pay them to do this?

They've apparently broken their own rules and procedures to do so.

Bizarrely two other GC trustees have not been suspended.

I hope LLLI told to do one by the charity commision. LLLI have been disgraceful globally over its treatment of leaders who just want to support mothers.
