CBeebies Inspirational Mums… can you guess?

Not only 2 males included but apparently they pimped out the children who lived there.

Not inspirational

Not mums

What is the shared womb thing?? A baby that was gestated in two wombs?

I’m not in the UK and can’t use the link. Can you say who the Mums are?
Thanks

It's like in vitro fertilisation, but instead of going directly from petri dish to implantation in the woman who will carry it, the fertilised egg is put into a capsule and 'incubated' for 18 hours in another woman's uterus before implantation.

No idea if there's any medical justification.

Several perfectly reasonable ones, the shared womb mums I've just linked, and the 2 drag queens who didn't throw the first brick at Stonewall.

The whole thing seems totally inappropriately pitched for cbeebies.

Why is it inspirational for any woman to have paid extra for something to be temporarily put in your womb that isn’t medically justified? It sounds painful to insert and remove and like it could pointlessly damage the cervix (how big is this capsule?) and it makes other people having IVF who couldn’t afford this thing feel lesser.

1. Remit
The remit of CBeebies is to offer high quality, mostly UK-produced programmes to
educate and entertain the BBC's youngest audience. The service should provide a
range of programming designed to encourage learning through play in a consistently
safe environment for children aged 6 or under.

My italics.

What a deeply strange list.

It is a strange list. Who or what is it for? It's no tool for children and there's no context to give it any point at allfor adults.

For what it's worth while I understand the 'mother of the house' concept in club culture it has absolutely no place on the CBeebies website (and, once again, Marsha P Johnson wasn't transgender). I don't even know what the shared motherhood programme is so why would they include it on this list without explanation?

And to put Maya Angelou side by side with Holly Willoughby seems completely absurd. I'd previously defend CBeebies to the death but this is bonkers.

Holly Willoughby, Maya Angelou, Stacey Solomon, Michelle Obama, Sojourner Truth, Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, Irena Sendler and Jasmine and Donna Francis-Smith.

IVF carries enough risks to the embryos without introducing a medically unnecessary step just for the feels. I don't know what's happened to the medical profession, they seem to have abandoned science altogether.

And as for equating Rivera and Johnson to mothers, madams or traffickers would be more appropriate. The Star house only ran for a few months and was basically a brothel for runaways.

Aside from the rest what's inspirational about Holly W? She's deeply privileged and doesn't have to 'juggle a career' in the same way as most working women. It's not relatable. Referring to other women as 'the mummy brigade' is rather belittling.

No disabled or carer mums on the list unless I've missed it?

What an absolute batshit mental list.

What a disappointment modern life is again.

The most ridiculous list I've read in a long time. Bad enough putting Stacey Solomon and Holly willowhatshername on the same list as Maya Angelou but adding two blokes...

And they weren't even trans.

CBeebies is for little children. Why do they meed this nonsense? Even if all the examples were perfectly fine, children don't need this IWD stuff. Someone in the BBC DEI team had time on their hands. Just let kids be kids!

This is awful. Who put this together? The BBC is becoming a parody of itself - why are drag queens in absolutely everything????

The shared motherhood protocol is awful (I had to go and read up on it as I'd never heard of it). It is of absolutely no benefit to the child and is just to satisfy the vanity of the adults. Sometimes I despair of the medical profession - what has happened to their ethics?

The shared motherhood thing is extremely odd to include and the drag queen mother example is commendable on the face of it (however a poster above seems to know more about it and it's not as it seems ) but I can't see how it's relevant to the majority of the mums whose kids watch cbeebies. Very odd article.

I'd rather have seen Dr Hilary Cass, for protecting children from harmful medicines.

And Nurse Sandy Peggie for standing up to a bullying male and an authoritarian system.

And while I'm growling, although I have nothing against either HW or SS, it's depressing that they have been selected as inspirational. There is already an issue with young people wanting to be influencers and celebrities and it would be great to encourage children to see women as professionals in their chosen fields.

This strikes me as being written by an intern and not by anyone who has any experience of real life motherhood.

It's weird. I am in Germany and also get a very short glimpse of the article and then an auto direct to the cbeebies start page.
archive.ph also only has the main page archived under the link given upthread (with a note about auto redirect) .

Could someone in the UK try to archive the article again?
