Why Are We Funding ‘Breastfeeding Men’?
In the Sunday Times, Gillian Bowditch slams the SNP for pouring taxpayer cash into crackpot causes — from “breastfeeding men” to a Swiss celebration of whisky and cheese — while women’s rights and public services go begging. Here’s an excerpt:
Just when you think the madness of the transgender wars has subsided and the very real threat to the rights of women is receding, we are asked to consider the legal protection of “breastfeeding men”.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in April that the words “women” and “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act refer to “a biological woman and biological sex” is as definitive as it is simple. The case brought by For Women Scotland and backed by the author J.K. Rowling was a watershed moment that, in theory, turned the tide on a decade that looked set to herald a new dark age. …
It should have been an awakening from a form of madness, and it was no coincidence that it was three Scottish women who sought legal clarification. The battle was national, but in Scotland it was state-sponsored, which made it so much more dangerous. …
Last week, Scottish Trans, a taxpayer-funded trans rights charity, said that the Supreme Court’s ruling damaged the legal protections of men “who are able to breastfeed”. These are, apparently, men who identify as women and who use hormone therapy or drugs to stimulate a form of lactation. …
Why are we indulging these flat-earthers, let alone funding them? Breastfeeding men are an oxymoron – a feature of an Orwellian dystopia that the Scottish National Party and the Greens have attempted to will into existence. The Equality Network, of which Scottish Trans is a part, has received £2.5 million in public money over the past five years. Its funding is ongoing.
More pertinently, why are natal men who believe they can feed babies using drug-induced lactation not being routinely investigated by social services for this grotesque and dangerous form of experimentation? …
It’s not the only example of state-sponsored profligacy in the last week. There were reports that “financial irregularities” at the Scots Language Centre, a charity that has been state-funded for the last 15 years, and promotes “the mither leid”, had left the language body facing collapse. …
On the same day Scotland’s nine international offices were revealed to have spent £1 million of taxpayers’ money in five years on 300 parties and events, including a ceilidh on a Brussels roundabout, an event in Beijing on the theme of “period dignity” and a Swiss celebration of whisky and cheese. …
Yet another revelation on the same day, described how the SNP had breached public-sector pay rules to pay the Scottish Labour peer, Dame Helena Kennedy, £1,000 a day – more than £100,000 in total – to chair a working group into outlawing misogyny in Scotland, ordered by Sturgeon and signed off by the former First Minister Humza Yousaf, despite civil service guidelines capping daily pay rates at £438. The proposed law was later shelved, despite the cost being more than three times the £36,000 originally budgeted.
Meanwhile, NHS Fife revealed that it had spent more than £220,000 of public money defending itself in the employment tribunal brought by nurse Sandy Peggie, who was suspended after complaining about having to share a changing room with a biologically male transgender medic. …
This utter waste of public resources would be infuriating at any time, but in an administration which has imposed the highest rates of income tax in the UK, and at a time of economic uncertainty, it is verging on the criminal. It doesn’t matter how often it is called out; nothing changes. …
From costly quangos to underperforming charities and spendthrift departments, there are few brakes on this excess. Even where wrongdoing can be proven there are no prosecutions and the guilty parties often leave with payoffs.

Maybe there is a mental health crisis in our society after all.
There is ,amongst the governments!🤒
Easily cured with rope and lampposts.
We face an existential problem; increasingly low sperm counts and low birth rates while the population is being replaced by marauding Islamists, yet the debate is on breastfeeding for men.
Interesting short article, which just further confirms my opinion that there is no such thing as ‘gender dysphoria’. It makes you wonder how many of these poor people, who were sold a lie, have gone on to detransition. Body modification is seldom going to alleviate wounds left over as a result of unresolved trauma or other psychological problems; ”Walt Heyer lived under a female identity that was never truly his for decades. His story—marked by childhood trauma, confusion, and surgical mutilation—now serves as a warning to those alarmed by the spread of gender ideology, especially among minors. In a recent conversation with europeanconservative.com, Heyer, a well-known critic of gender ideology, shared his testimony and denounced the medical, psychological, and societal consequences of what he describes not as a form of help, but as a lucrative industry. It all began in childhood when his grandmother dressed him as a girl for the first time. What may have seemed harmless at the time was compounded by physical and sexual abuse from his father and uncle—experiences that shaped his development. As a teenager, Heyer began to secretly identify as a woman. In his thirties, he sought a gender therapist in California, who was then… Read more »
Form the point of view of the state bourgeoisie – the parasite class that regards the rest of us as hosts – there is no such thing as financial profligacy, because the concept implies that there should be a limit to the exploitation of us. The state bourgeoisie thinks of us as a sort of natural resource – hence the state bourgeoisie’s vast effort spent on inventing new ways of extracting income from us.
Having an infant suck a man’s nipples is child pornography.
This entire ideology makes my skin crawl because not only does it work to target the most vulnerable in society ( children, but also those already suffering from mental illness ) with regards to brainwashing them about gender identity and how you can be born in the wrong body, but it serves as a very convenient front for legitimate, highly dangerous predators. One of the striking things about the sick f**k below is that his own mother reported him to the authorities when he was 15yrs old for sexually abusing another child. No intervention was forthcoming, so is it any wonder he got away with what he did for so long? ”Disturbing new information has been released in the case of the prominent French left-wing LGBT activist who ran an international pedophile network. Pierre-Alain Cottineau, 32, was arrested in September of last year after being traced back to the horrific sexual torture of a 4-year-old disabled girl. Cottineau first became a target for investigators after OFMIN, a branch of the French police specifically focused on crimes involving children, became aware of a violent child sexual abuse video being exchanged through Telegram. The video appeared to show a disabled girl being… Read more »
I have to say, looking at the title picture sends shivers down my spine; there is something grotesquely disgusting about it.
That’s an excellent point
Absolutely spot on. That photo is nauseating, and I had to look away.
Where is the welfare of the baby taken into account by any of these people. A baby is being fed chemicals by being made to such on a man’s nipple, in order to give him a sexual high. in other words a babies health and welfare is secondary to Scottish state sponsored child abuse.
Frankly all involved from the men abusing the baby, to those who have facilitated it, should be bought before courts, and as a minimum all put on the sex offenders register.
The baby cannot consent to being photographed and the identifiable image is permanent. Normal breastfeeding acts on the female reproductive organs, repairing them after childbirth and preparing for future pregnancies. The sheer ignorance and malevolence demonstrated in this abominable and depraved scene should constitute medical negligence.
Men who use their own infants as accessories to indulge their sick delusion are perverts and child abusers.
The clue, to put it crudely, is in the word ‘spunk’. It’s a fetish…
Yes, I shared this story the other day. The baby is a mere prop, and the mother who allows this to happen to her child is complicit in the abuse of her own baby. It’s grade A disgusting and perverse. And look at the state of that photo above. He’ll be having a ‘euphoria boner’ and everything.😖🤮
The drug induced discharge that a man can produce for a baby to supposedly suckle is of no nutritional benefit to the child and is of untested safety to the child.

He’s got something over his fingers in the picture. If you zoom in you’ll see it more clearly. Is it a condom? Looks too thin and stretchy to be a teat from a bottle.😕🧐
Good spot. He could be using a pacifier/dummy to create a fake image, a sexual fantasy. What is the source of this photo? Another factor is that an infant is guided by pheromones and instinctively would know to suckle from a female breast.
It’s a tube because the person in the photo is a trans-he who was a she and gave birth to this baby but cannot breast feed the baby successfully due to having had a mastectomy. 🙄

It is more complicated than that. The ‘father’ pictured in the photo is in fact a trans-he who was born a she and gave birth to the baby being fed (IOW is the baby’s mother).

Not sure if the author realises what ‘spunk’ means in the UK, but spunk and breasts in the same paragraph brings some images to mind.
The Scots have got the (moronic) government they voted for.
Rather like the Welsh.
But the Welsh do now appear to be finally learning the lesson.
Some years ago,precocious, women’s hour radio4 had an item on men breast feeding its is overdue a replay. Peter Kay would be proud to have written it.
