Women accused of breaking law for criticizing man’s attempt to breastfeed.
Two Australian Women Accused of Breaking the Law for Criticizing Male Breastfeeding
Two Australian women, Jasmine Sussex and Leah Whiston, were recently notified by Twitter that they had violated Australian law by criticizing a male who identifies as a woman and was attempting to breastfeed a baby. The news was first reported by the media outlet Reduxx, which is known for being “Pro-Woman, Pro-Child Safeguarding, Anti-Bullsh*t.”
The Controversy
The male in question, Jennifer Buckley, had announced online that he had induced lactation and had begun breastfeeding his newborn son, who his wife had given birth to. Sussex was heavily critical of this, stating that “men shouldn’t breastfeed because breastfeeding [is] for the baby,” and that “there is no evidence that any male-induced milk is equivalent to mother’s milk.”
Whiston, on the other hand, is the representative for the Standing for Women Queensland (SFWQ) page. She had posted a Twitter thread on the page, revealing that an LGBT lobby group had allegedly given the Australian Breastfeeding Association $20,000 for them to create an educational booklet about “chest feeding.”
The Fallout
Both women were contacted by Twitter on May 16, notifying them that they had violated Australian law in several of their tweets. The platform told the two that a “government entity or law enforcement agency” had informed them of their alleged crime, and that the platform had been forced to hide the content from Australian users.
It’s unclear at this point what law the women violated. However, Sussex was reportedly fired from her job as a volunteer breastfeeding counselor in 2021 for failing to comply with the adoption of “gender neutral” language in breastfeeding care. A year later, she was removed from the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA).
Whiston demanded accountability from the ABA, questioning why they would allow “men to use babies as props for [their] sexual fetishes.”
Conclusion
The controversy surrounding male breastfeeding has sparked a heated debate, with some arguing that it’s a natural and healthy practice, while others believe it’s inappropriate and potentially harmful to the child. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s clear that the two women involved in this case have been unfairly targeted for expressing their opinions.
