Founder Of Breastfeeding Support Group Quits Over Pandering To Trans-Identifying Men

One of the founders of the world’s oldest and most respected breastfeeding support group, La Leche League (LLL), has resigned due to the organization’s stance on men being able to breastfeed.

Marian Tompson, 94, sent a letter to current senior leadership expressing how the group has become “a travesty of my original intent” and is now “indulging the fantasies of adults.” LLL is headquartered in North Carolina but has a presence in more than 80 countries.

“From an organization with the specific mission of supporting biological women who want to give their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding them, LLL’s focus has subtly shifted to include men who, for whatever reason, want to have the experience of breastfeeding, despite no careful long-term research on male lactation and how that may affect the baby.”

“This shift from following the norms of nature, which is the core of mothering through breastfeeding, to indulging the fantasies of adults, is destroying our organization,” the letter continued, per The Daily Mail. 

Tompson said despite her efforts to redirect the effort, there was “nothing” she could do. The LLL founder added that she’s open to returning if the organization “returns to its original Mission and Purpose.”

La Leche League Great Britain trustee Miriam Main quit earlier this week over an inclusivity policy allowing trans-identifying men to attend their support groups. Main cited “bullying, lies, and cruelty of recent times” as the reason for her departure, per The Times. 

Main said she refused to help biological men “perform a poor imitation of breastfeeding” and put babies’ lives at risk in the process. 

La Leche League was founded in 1956 with the stated purpose of helping provide mother-to-mother support and stressing the importance of breastfeeding through encouragement, information, and education. 

The official La Leche League website has a section dedicated to “transgender and nonbinary parents” that says the organization “supports everyone who wants to breastfeed or chestfeed in reaching their goals.”

“Trans men, trans women, and non-binary individuals may choose to breastfeed or chestfeed their babies. You do not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed, as we can also see in the experiences of those nursing adopted babies.”
