PC Speak against mothernood

 this caught my eye this morning:     

from Instapundit (a libertarian blog)

 UPDATE NEWSPEAK DICTIONARIES ACCORDINGLY: Not satire: The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine just one-upped the term “birthing person” with “human milk-feeding individual.” 

 

this is, of course, supposed to be about not upsetting trans girls (i.e. psychologically immature females who are planning to become men) who nevertheless decide to have a baby (thereby endangering their developing baby with all the male hormones they take to transition) and then they decide they want to breast feed that baby. 

But when those who head large societies of professionals to impose the PC beliefs of a small minority on society, it is a problem.

First, because most of the time, these society officials never bothered to ask their members about this.

In the future, when you read "woke" policies supported by the AMA, remember this: They were bullied and taken over by woke activists early this year, so will probably continue to bleed membership due to members figuring why pay a thousand a year to help them push an agenda that is anti science.

The elites have an agenda that is extreme, and don't you dare say anything against them, even though the majority of folks don't agree.

Indeed, I suspect that the average Bacla or tomboy or trans doesn't support that extreme agenda either: Because most of them are part of a family by birth or choice, and recognize the importance of that when things get rough.

Second: Every time an official society promotes such PC policies, it enables the mentally confused to impose their PC beliefs on society, meaning those with traditional belief systems face pressure to conform, or worse, might lose their job over a real or imagined faux pas.

This is being exploited as a way to destroy strict Christians, but the dirty little secret is that the Hispanic and other immigrant communities also reject such nonsense

As for doctors:

Attention PC tyrants: The average doc meets all sorts of people, and although there are racial, religious, and social prejudices in most physicians we sort of keep them out of our treatment plans: unless, of course, like the above problem where their chosen lifestyle endangers their own health or the health of their baby.

However, that said, I should add that yes, there are breastfeeding men: Actual men. 

In Africa, in remote tribal villages in the past, if a mom died in childbirth, often the child was nursed by a relative or even a post menopausal grandmother. And in rare cases, there are reports that the father did this out of desperation, since alternative sources of milk were not available. 

This was a life and death situation and done to save the baby's life.

And of course, there are webpages for fathers or mothers with adopted newborns on how to breast feed their child. 

In these cases, it is about loving the child, not about fulfilling one's desire at the expense of the child (and destroying those around you who disagree).

and as for the term "mother": just because some of us are mothers by adoption, it doesn't mean we reject having that term used for those who give birth.

here in Asia (as in Africa, and among my South American relatives, and even in my own ethnic family in the USA) family is important.

It's a Catholic thing: here in the Philippines the extended family includes the baclas, tomboys, drunks, drug addicts, second families, ete because although the standards are strict, the mercy of God extends to those who can't keep the rules.

The family, not the individual, is the center of society.
