La Leche League Erases Mothers | The charity that taught me how to breastfeed is eliminating women by calling it ‘chestfeeding.’

The La Leche League is/was a "mother to mother" group that provides breastfeeding training to new mothers.
But it's gone woke:
... Meanwhile, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, a guidebook by La Leche League that’s been around since the 1950s, is being rereleased in October under a new title: The Art of Breastfeeding—erasing the word woman entirely. So here we are, in the run-up to Mother’s Day, watching an organization that once celebrated motherhood cave to political correctness.
When I asked La Leche League if they would explain why they’ve made these changes, they declined to comment. ...
The comments are a good read, too:
... institutions can be captured by a small but vocal minority to the determent of the majority. ... Yes, but they can be taken back by larger and more vocal majority. See Vox Day's "Corporate Cancer" for a blueprint for how to do that: https://arkhavencomics.com/product/corporate-cancer/
One mother who was a member complained about this and:
... I then was kicked out from the group, but only after receiving a warning from a leader which stated “This is an inclusive group. Transphobia is not allowed. We are happy to support you in your journey, but this group may not be the right fit for you.” They also stated I had engaged in hate speech and bullying. ... This is about women abandoning women, throwing us to the wolves for not complying with their games, forgetting why they are there in the first place. Lactation support isn’t just about milk supply and latches and weaning-it is about seeing one another as fully actualized women who are integrating the female experience. In inviting men into that space, La Leche League is turning their backs to real women who need the witnessing required to work through hard motherhood moments.
Absolutely. I feel the same as you. Wonderful and warm memories, especially now that they are grown. We did the right thing, the good thing for our babies.
I took one sip of baby formula and said absolutely not; I'll breast feed. Those were some hard time financially for us but we got by and now they are fond memories.
