A trustee and PR director of Britain’s oldest breastfeeding charity has resigned after it introduced an inclusivity policy that allowed men to attend support groups.
Miriam Main is leaving La Leche League GB (LLLGB) after a diktat from the global organisation elicited fears that volunteers would have to give advice to transgender women.
Directors at the charity’s British arm have already requested that the Charity Commission intervene over the inclusivity policy, which permits biological males to seek support from the organisation.
Main resigned on Monday, saying that she refused to help biological men “perform a poor imitation of breastfeeding”, which she said put babies’ safety at risk.
Her departure came as Marian Tompson, 94, an American and one of the founders of the La Leche League in 1956, quit last week over the decision to admit men.
In Main’s resignation note, she spoke of “bullying, lies, and cruelty of recent times” and said that this had been “unreasonably hard to endure”.
Helen Joyce, a director at the gender-critical campaign group Sex Matters, said yesterday: “The situation at La Leche League is one of the starkest examples of how gender-identity ideology turns organisations upside-down.
“By including men who want to breastfeed in its services, LLL is destroying its founding mission to support breastfeeding mothers.”

This is pure perversion forced out of the bedroom and into the public realm.
And enforced by bad laws.
It is as though Picasso was tasked with interpreting gender based legislation…
Not a new policy or a surprise to her. All breastfeeding charities in the UK the same inclusion policies going back a decade. She’s just miffed no one complemented her ushanka, probably.
It is a pity it has taken this long for many women to develop the courage to speak out. But it is great to see the tide finally turning. Hopefully this will end a decade of deceit and betrayal of women and children during which the word ‘inclusion’ has become double speak for exclusion of those who possess rationality, courage and integrity.
