The writer's experience is shocking, misogynistic and the new practice abusive to babies - males cannot lactate in any natural meaningful way. Can this letter get wider publicity, in The Times or The Telegraph?
Thank you for telling your story Miriam. Unfortunately, it is now the story of many Leaders in many countries. I suspect that ultimately, LLLI will be the author of its own demise. Marian Tompson (who Milli has also written about), has left a magnificent legacy of empowered women and healthier societies. Fast forward 70 years and what have these cretinous trans and their handmaidens left behind?
Not a single positive thing. When your philosophy is deliberately chaotic and destructive, that's what you end up with: nothing. Escalating your commitment to a non-functioning enterprise is a losing strategy: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/escalation-of-commitment-to-a-losing
I’m currently writing my own ‘story’ about how as is said here, a small group of zealots infiltrated an organisation and changed the language… the good news is ARM saw them off - but a lot of damage was done. Of course these really concerned TIAs have disappeared to wreak havoc elsewhere now… I may even share it on Substack one day.
There is a collective insanity inherent in all of this - I do hope Miriam will continues to offer BF support independently or in conjunction with others who are refusing to toe this increasingly intolerant & misogynistic line - the women will come to where they know they are safe
I hope eventually new support networks will be formed but...it shouldn't have had to come to this. The work was already done by people like Miriam and Marian.
Extraordinary that some of the women Leaders can be bought off with praise, power, money?, whatever it is, to openly hope for the older Leaders to die off. 😣 It's almost like some women almost
become men in their outlook - we've had to be shape shifters due to the patriarchy before this. All the more credit to those women who won't shift and who know what a woman is and how important it is for women to have the support of our sisters at all stages of our lives. Brava to Miriam and to you Milli for giving her and the other LLL women Leaders resisting this most outrageous men's rights attack on women-only spaces and services. XX
Absolutely, very good point about how women shape shift, I guess this is what people mean when they say 'handmaidens' but I prefer your way of putting it. xxx
Cheers, Milli. I see today that AOC has removed her pronouns from her bio. Her shape-shifting on Trans v. Women stung more than most. This shift is promising.
The amount of confusion about basic biology I've seen in the past couple of days on social media is shocking. All of the language stuff just compounds this. It's crazy!!
This is truly heartbreaking for mothers and babies and for those brave women trying to help them become successful breast feeders. The LLLI leadership should be thoroughly ashamed if itself. They are complicit in the destruction of the bonding between mothers and babies ,and society will pay a huge price for it in the future. Thanks ,Milli x
Thanks Karis and Melody for your great points. For me it's about boundaries and principles. People say HAS A MAN ACTUALLY BEEN TO A LLL GROUP and I channel Germaine and say I DON'T CARE! I don't care! The point is HE IS NOT ALLOWED. Even if no man ever rocks up, I want the line to be there in the sand. It's ok for some things to be for women only. End of!

Potentially. Looking into it. x

May the dominos start falling
It's a tragedy it's come to this but yes, that's necessary now.
