It is a daily fail link (complete with sad face photo) - www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7643251/Charity-hounds-birth-coach-post-saying-women-children.html

Summary - a GC doula has been kicked out of the organisation for gender critical views. She has said exactly what I feel and what I would want a doula to say if she were supporting me through pregnancy and labour. About 20 TRAs wrote to the organisation to complain about her sparking a four month suspension and before she was found to have breached their guidelines.

If you would like to contact Doula UK, the PR is Sarah Robinson and her email is [email protected]. She is listed as the main contact and I can’t find details of anyone else on the website.

@MissLawls I'm so sorry for the many tragedies your family have suffered. Thanks
You are so right though.

Have they ever had a real problem? It's a First World issue. It's middle class and usually white. It's a class issue as someone pointed out on Twitter.

It shouldn't need personal disasters to bring a sense of perspective.

@StopThePlanet Top post. My thoughts entirely but much better expressed. Star

Thank you very much @FannyCann I appreciate that. Most families have tragedies and most people do. It's part of life. Real problems that shatter you, for a while, but you can come back, a bit sadder, obviously, but stronger. And there's comfort in that. Worrying about hurt feelings over identity is not of the same order but I've got into trouble sometimes for saying that. Doesn't stop it being true. Thanks again x

And thanks @Doula007 for your imput. That's good to hear.
