Breast-Feeding Dad

We had better arrest political correctness right now before someone
figures out how to push depraved liberal social engineering even
farther than this

:

Breastfeeding advocates and parenting gurus are voicing support
for a transgender Winnipeg man [sic] who nurses his [sic] infant son
in the wake of a motherhood support group’s refusal to allow him [sic]
a leadership role inside the organization.

“La Leche League Canada’s decision is discriminatory,” said Annie
Urban, who writes the popular parenting blog PhD in Parenting
<http://www.phdinparenting.com/> . “It is time for La Leche League to
update its guidelines and recognize that breastfeeding is not
exclusively a mother’s domain.”

What the… what did she just say?

La Leche League Canada (LLLC) recently informed Trevor MacDonald
<http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1243822--la-leche-league-canada-rejects-breastfeeding-dad-s-bid-to-become-lactation-coach>
, 27, he [sic] could not lead support circles or serve as a
breastfeeding coach because he [sic] identifies as a man, which
contravenes the organization’s policy definition of motherhood. Only
women can serve as leaders, according to LLLC policy. (Trevor uses
“MacDonald” as a pseudonym.)

Per the pashas of political correctness, this will not do.

Elisabeth Sterken, director of INFACT Canada, a non-governmental
organization that promotes breastfeeding, called LLLC’s policy
“unacceptable.” …

[Moonbat social engineers] question LLLC’s binary understanding of
“motherhood” and “fatherhood,” terms that are increasingly
interchangeable in a world with a growing number of gay and
transgender parents.

“I think La Leche League is holding on to some very traditional
definitions of motherhood and fatherhood,” [chides] Andrea Doucet,
Canada Research Chair in Gender Work and Care at Brock University.
“What this case shows is that we really have to see these (roles) as
fluid [so to speak] activities. If a man is breastfeeding, he’s
breastfeeding.”

I really don’t think we want to go where this is heading.

Health Canada and the Canadian Paediatric Society recommend infant
breastfeeding for at least six months. In addition to nutritional
benefits, experts say breastfeeding helps tighten the emotional bond
between child and parent, be it a man or woman.

In the grotesque alternate world the liberal elite has been attempting
to impose on us, there literally is no difference between men and
women. Liberals are so used to getting their way by bossing everyone
around that they think they can boss around reality itself.

They are delusional, they are twisted, they are completely out of
their minds, and they have been steering the course for our
civilization — causing literally every problem we have.

Enough stalling. You were warned — here’s Ms. Trevor MacDonald:
