Enraged and frustrated are inadequate words to describe just how angry I feel with these people who continue to erase women( in language) without considering how insulting this is to the majority of the population !! So much for the " inclusive " society. The hypocrisy here is off the scale. Thanks ,Milli x

It's really hard to get your head around isn't it. X

The more that ignorant people bang on about the importance of "inclusivity", the more I feel like excluding them from my life. Oh, for those ancient days when marketers used the word "exclusive" to entice purchasers to their products...

You didn't need to tell me that LLLI would only allow comments that support their view that men who buy babies off the internet need to be supported to use them as gender affirmation props. There has deliberately never been any discussion about this allowed; for those of us purists who signed up to provide mother to mother support, LLLI is only too happy if we resign, or they are just fine with booting us out because of "bigotry" and "transphobia". It doesn't really matter how we twist ourselves into knots to pretend that "everyone" can "human milk feed" a baby, it isn't true, and the removal of this safeguarding is wrong. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/performance-art-street-theater-virtue

I’m suspicious of those men. What’s their motive? It’s ridiculous.

I think 2 weekly is fine Milli - maybe compromise by making it a wee bit longer. It’s such an important archive.

If these people can prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that any MALE has ever had an abortion, I'll consider backing messages like "people of all genders have abortions." Until then, it's a no from me.

Very grateful as always that you are doing this, Milli, and admiring of your excellent use of gifs! So of course, I’ve “liked” the post as usual but at the same time it has made me so furious I hardly know which example to rant about first. I think I’ll go and set about Sunday lunch in a particularly pan-crashing and emphatic fashion, chuntering to myself the while! Happy Sunday, all x
