There's a couple of quotes from the hospital including that they never ment for men to breastfeed babies but were only really talking about lesbians which are completely disturbed by the author of this article by quoting the trusts own guidance 😀

NHS trust which claimed trans women could breastfeed makes U-turn

A leaked letter from within the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust suggested milk produced by trans women was comparable to that produced by a woman following birth.

That Ru Paul clip is gross. Could they make the misogyny any clearer?

Grim isn't it?

I can imagine some families feeling uncomfortable watching it but not entirely sure why e.g. was it just a bit too risqué for the time of day or was there something more that wasn't quite right about it? I'm guessing (perhaps unfairly) that there would have been more dads than mums thinking it was all just a bit of a laugh.

I feel a bit like a leftie version of Mary Whitehouse now but the gradual erosion of boundaries means that many of us are left doubting ourselves. If we feel uncomfortable, we conclude that we're the problem. It's the whole "so open minded their brains fell out" issue. There are lots of clever people who have a sensible take on what's good fun and what's too far who can be ambushed on this one. Also, the answer on what's misogyny and what's not will vary - Paul O'Grady apparently stopped doing Lily Savage because he didn't like the direction drag was going in on this but to some people (I'm a Lily/Paul fan), what he did was already too much... so am I too open minded, with a brain that's no longer in situe, or am I still doing OK? Rhetorical question. Ha!

With all this boundary shifting, the goal is wide open for a whole extra level of grimness re breastfeeding dressed up as inclusion.

Where is their wonderful "BBC Verify" when they need it? With their record on covering up and lying about the abusers in their midst, why should we believe anything they say?
