The Lisa Bourne article Breastfeeding organization welcomes transgender ‘nursing men’
commences:SCHAUMBURG, Illinois, May 19, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – A venerable breastfeeding advocacy group is floating the notion that men can nurse children.
So there you have it: “cultural understanding of gender” is now official code for “community acceptance of the meaninglessness of concepts”. The ultimate dishonesty is to strip words of their meaning. The word in question here is “men”. The article goes on:
Nursing is not just for moms anymore, according to a blog post from the National Catholic Register this week that included a policy statement from La Leche League International (LLLI).
“As the cultural understanding of gender has expanded, it is now recognized that some men are able to breastfeed,” the organization also stated.
LLLI has accommodated the idea of breastfeeding men since 2014 when it changed the policy, because “the cultural understanding of gender has expanded.” Therefore “it is now recognized that some men are able to breastfeed.” The Illinois-based international organization has provided breastfeeding support for more than 60 years. Three years ago, it began allowing “men who otherwise meet the prerequisites for becoming a volunteer applicant” to be breastfeeding counselors.
So that’s it: the word “men” doesn’t have an objective meaning; it can be made to mean whatever any individual wants it to mean.
Those prerequisites are organizational experience, personal experience breastfeeding a baby for at least nine months, and a demonstrated commitment to La Leche League philosophy.
That’s no misprint — men with “personal experience breastfeeding a baby for at least nine months” can apply to be a breastfeeding counselor.
“Of course, men can’t breastfeed,” author Glenn Stanton wrote in the post. “But many women who believe they are men ... keep their uteruses and breasts, giving birth and nursing their babies like any other women.”
How can a civilization or culture that subscribes to such a dishonest philosophy survive?
