Birth, breastfeeding and gender ideology

Do people know (or care) that volunteers with new mothers are part of this ideology? Surely birth and breastfeeding are tied with being female yet the volunteers are science deniers.

The video won’t play.

Despite that, I will respond to what you have written and say yes many of us are aware that there are many women who are volunteering in birth and breastfeeding organisations but who sell out women by using desexed language and putting inordinate efforts into pushing gender identity ideology and “queering” resources making them accessible only to an elite group instead of keeping things in plain English aimed at the mothers of 600, 000 babies born in England and Wales each year.

There can be no rationale except ideology as to why language and resources are being tailored for the minority of gender identity believers to the detriment of the majority. There is no data to support it.

Instead of reaching the greatest number of mothers by remaining politically and ideologically neutral these women, often university educated and middle class seek to restrict reach to their own people, ignoring those from other backgrounds and with different challenges. They have infiltrated and taken over all the birth and breastfeeding charities in the UK as far as I am aware.

It was breastfeeding that peaked me. I had an utterly traumatic time and it hit me like a freight train that womanhood wasn't something it was possible to identify into or out of, and, while my body was trying desperately to feed dd, there was nothing about my brain that gave me any aptitude for the 'womanly' task of looking after a newborn.

You can’t “chest feed” a baby you have to have special organs called “breasts” just like you have lungs, a heart and a uterus amongst many others.

It is beyond belief, isn't it? I was just reading about Rotavirus (new vaccine introduced in 2013) and how breastfeeding helps protect the baby against it.

As many female relatives won't have breastfeeding experience now, new or inexperienced mothers need guidance. At other times, advice may be needed. I was going to give an example about wanting to know if certain medications are dangerous. However, some of these breastfeeding orgs seem to be ok with a baby being the recipient of any old sh*te when it can validate the feelings of a male. Why would organisations founded with the aim of encouraging and supporting breastfeeding in mind, prioritise anybody or anything else? Or, allow women to be made feel uncomfortable?

They have one thing to do.
