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.

Isn't that a great article ? "...the queering of breastfeeding support"

Yet agin, hard to believe that all this is having to be said.
