The Queer Birth Club has said that it has also provided training in universities and its courses are embedded in some midwifery and doula training programs.

It promotes breastfeeding by trans women and claims that it is “transmisogyny” to say that the milk produced by biological men is “less”.

This is despite concerns over the safety of the milk, which is produced after taking a series of medications to induce lactation.

Domperidone, the drug commonly used to stimulate lactation, was not intended for this purpose, but is prescribed off-label by doctors. Janssen, which manufactures the drug, has recommended against it because of possible side effects to a baby’s heart.

A small price to pay for the validation felt by the man celebrating his fetish new gender identity.

Concerns have also been raised about the impact testosterone could have on babies who are being naturally breastfed by trans men.

The Queer Birth Club say that their “lactation competency” training, which they advertise with a cartoon of a person breastfeeding with the message “trans joy” covers “inducing lactation, feeding after top surgery, co-nursing”.

Feeding after top surgery? After a double mastectomy? Good luck with that.

Another of their posts on social media shows a drawing of a person with a beard and a pregnancy bump with the slogan: “Boys have babies too.”

The club has previously provided “cultural awareness” training for midwives through NHS England and courses for a number of NHS trusts across the UK. It is listed as a recommended resource on several NHS websites.

JKR’s charity Lumos has, to date, helped more than 23,000 children.

Her sexual assault service Beira’s Place has helped at least 2000 women gain access to support.

She helped fund the rescue of more than 100 females lawyers and their families from Afghanistan when they faced being murdered.

She opened a fund to help women who have been discriminated against due to their gender critical views.

She has given courage to thousands more women to stand up for their sex-based rights.

So lads, we know who you mean by ‘the rest of us’.

It’s men, isn’t it?

s”, has stopped selling Rowling’s titles in response to her new legal fund, created to support “women’s sex-based rights”.

“With this announcement, we’ve decided to stop carrying her books,” the San Francisco bookshop wrote on Instagram, encouraging fans of the Harry Potter series to buy second-hand copies instead….

The move sparked a censorship row on social media, with one person commenting: “So you’re going to curate your selections to only sell books by authors that you agree with politically. Good to know. I’ll be shopping elsewhere.”

Another accused Booksmith of “choosing to silence someone you disagree politically with”.

There's something about the book world that draws in these airheads, as Matilda Gosling showed with her report this week on the state of publishing here in the UK.

Julie Bindel in the Telegraph:

The bookstore is a commercial enterprise that seems quite happy to forego certain profit by refusing to stock such hugely popular titles as the Harry Potter series and Robert Galbraith Strike novels; virtue-signalling is clearly considered much more important. But when it comes to identity politics and gender nonsense, publishing is one of the worst-affected institutions. During a tour in the US to promote my book on feminism, one bookstore cancelled my event at the last minute because a trans activist customer had complained. This was despite the fact that it had sold out.

The revenue from JK Rowling’s books probably funds a good chunk of the publishing industry worldwide, yet these for-profit enterprises would rather have huge display tables groaning under the weight of books by trans activists that barely sell at all….

It would be interesting to know whether this particular bookstore will be ploughing through its thousands of titles to check that all of its staff agree politically with the premise of each and every author and the contents of each and every book.

It looks very much as though this so-called civil rights movement is actually a witch hunt against women – for the crime of daring to assert our rights rather than rolling over and capitulating to misogynistic bullies.

As it dawns on the extremists that they are going down with a sinking ship because they overreached on their demands and bullied and cajoled refuseniks, their rising desperation only makes them look more ludicrous. Some time ago, when yet another trans activist announced on X that he was burning Rowling’s books, she had the perfect riposte: “I get the same royalties whether you read them or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows!”

“the overall mortality risk of [trans-identifying men] . . . was higher compared to men in the general population . . . and even higher compared to women.” Leading causes of death included heart disease, cancer, and suicide. An earlier study found a 51 percent higher mortality rate in trans-identifying males than the general population. Notably, current estrogen use, rather than past use, was linked to these increased risks, suggesting long-term exposure to feminizing hormones may amplify health risks over time.

And that's not all.

Beyond these headline findings, the paper outlines several additional risks. Autoimmune diseases such as lupus and systemic sclerosis have occasionally appeared or worsened following the initiation of estrogen therapy. One patient with a skin-limited autoimmune condition developed life-threatening kidney complications after starting hormones. At the population level, males with gender identity disorders have been found to have a more than sixfold increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis—raising the possibility that estrogen may act as a trigger for autoimmune responses in some individuals.

Estrogen also appears to affect metabolism. Hormone therapy has been associated with increased fat mass, muscle loss, and reduced insulin sensitivity—an early warning sign for diabetes. In one study, insulin resistance rose by more than 80 percent over two years of use. Elevated triglycerides—a type of fat in the blood—have been linked to serious complications in trans-identifying males, including pancreatitis and gallstones.

The authors also review cancer risks. Trans-identifying males on estrogen are significantly more likely to develop breast cancer than non-trans-identifying men. One cited analysis estimated the risk to be 22 to 40 times higher. While breast cancer remains rare in men overall, such increases are noteworthy.

The paper also highlights elevated rates of thyroid and testicular cancers among trans-identifying males on estrogen. Some studies suggest a potential link between testicular cancer and long-term use of estrogen or testosterone blockers. Public drug safety databases in the U.S. and France reflect similar concerns, listing tumors, cardiovascular complications, and brain tumors—such as meningiomas—among the most frequently reported adverse events.

One especially unsettling section explores how estrogen may affect the male brain. A few small brain-imaging studies found that several months of estrogen use led to “an increase in ventricular volume and a decrease in brain volume.” Studies in male rats showed similar effects: estrogen and testosterone blockers reduced brain volume and altered brain chemistry. The authors suggest these changes may result from disruptions in how water is regulated in brain cells—potentially mimicking patterns seen in degenerative diseases.

The paper also notes that levels of BDNF—a brain chemical critical for mood and memory—tend to decline in patients on cross-sex hormones. Low BDNF is associated with depression and shrinkage of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for memory. Taken together, these findings raise the possibility that estrogen may produce lasting changes in male brain structure and function.

Not to worry. It's all part of "gender-affirming care".

To be clear, what we are witnessing is the systematic targeting of nearly all religious minorities in Syria – Christians, Druze, Ismailis, Yazidis, Alawites and Shiites – by violent Islamist factions. To call it ‘sectarian violence’ is to imply mutuality where there is none. Minority victims are not aggressors. They are certainly not the ones who need to show ‘restraint’…..

The erasure of Syria’s Christian presence would not only be a humanitarian tragedy, it would also mark the loss of one of the most ancient expressions of the faith. Christianity has existed in Syria since the first century AD. The Apostle Paul’s conversion took place on the road to Damascus. The followers of Jesus were first called ‘Christians’ in nearby Antioch. Cities like Aleppo, Homs and Maaloula were home to thriving Christian communities long before most of Europe was evangelised.

Facing ongoing threats, persecution and economic collapse, thousands of Syrian Christians are desperate to flee – not from lack of love for the country, but out of sheer necessity. Without immediate protections, Christianity in Syria risks becoming a memory, its ancient churches left as hollow monuments in a country that once helped carry the faith to the world.

Not featuring in a demonstration near you any time soon. No one cares. Israel's not involved.

full surgical transition — would mean detainees could ask for a woman to search their top half and a man to search below the waist.

Brilliant.

They have “been subjected to trans-identifying men being naked in the changing area and showers” and experienced “trans-identifying men taking photographs of women and girls and trans-identifying men topless in the meadow, both of which are not permitted”.

Other women have complained about “trans-identifying men staring at women and girls in the showers and changing facilities”; and “felt violated in what they considered was a women-only safe space”.

The fact that there's a mixed bathing pond puts the lie to any excuse about these men going where they feel comfortable. They're going there to make the women feel uncomfortable. And for a bit of ogling. All you need is a wig, as the Beatles didn't quite say.

One pond user, who wishes to remain anonymous, complained: “I was showering outside after my swim, when a big man with a long wig and a long coat came walking down the path to the pond area.

“This man came and lingered in the restricted area between the outdoor showers and the fence, where my towel was draped. He stood there turned at an angle, looking at me and evidently wanting me to know that he was looking at me.

“I was trapped, because I was naked, and my towel was on the fence behind him.”

In 2019, the pond changed its rules to allow trans women – that is biological men – to use the facilities, claiming it was required under the Equality Act.

When the change was being discussed, Charles Lord, from the City of London Corporation, said: “It shouldn’t be controversial. It shouldn’t be a debate. Trans women are women, trans men are men.”

Idiot.

Even after the Supreme Court judgment, the Corporation put out a statement indicating it would not change its policy, saying: “Any unlawful discrimination will not be tolerated. Our gender identity policy is designed to ensure our services are welcoming to everyone, including all who use the bathing ponds.”

Trans women have been allowed to use the pond since the judgment, even though the signs say “women only” and “no men beyond this point”.

The changing hut at the ladies’ pond contains open communal showers and an open changing area.

Gaza as much as the corresponding total lack of focus on any other terrible world crisis.

“This had not happened for any other conflict”, she said, referring to the protests against her based on her original statement. “Ukraine, the Congo, Sudan, Myanmar – I mean nothing, nothing like that whatsoever.”

In particular, the situation in Sudan troubled her.

“I went to Chad [the neighbouring country] and I had interviews with people from Darfur. I briefed the Security Council, and I was so clear, I told the Security Council, ‘My role is to identify risk factors for genocide and I’m here telling you that every single risk factor for genocide exists in Sudan’. I gave them very granular details of who was killing who in Sudan. And I told them, ‘Security Council, you have to act, because one day you’ll be held accountable for not acting on Sudan’. I then went to Geneva, and I briefed the Human Rights Council in great detail.”

I asked her whether there was any action. “Nobody, nobody”….

It became clear that there was what she described as “media prioritisation”.

“They would ask about Gaza every day, and I would say ‘ok, people are dying in other places too…I was issuing statements about Myanmar, South Sudan, the Sahel, the DRC [Democratic Republic of Congo], places where risk factors for genocide clearly existed, people dying in different parts of the world. And really, I didn’t get a single journalist in the daily press briefing saying she’s been speaking, you know, about South Sudan, or about DRC. It was, ‘why will she not say that there is a genocide in Gaza?’”

Wairimu-Nderitu looks at me.

“You know, South Sudan is actually on the verge of a genocide right now? In terms of Sudan, it is already being perpetrated, in South Sudan they are very close.”

But no one cares unless Israel's involved.

Alice Nderitu previously – I was hounded out.

“I was hounded, day in, day out. Bullied, hounded, with protection from nobody.”

These are the words of Alice Nderitu, the UN’s former Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide. In a shocking article, she details the appalling treatment she endured at the hands of the United Nations—months of relentless pressure to label Israel’s actions against Hamas as “genocide.”

She even received death threats for refusing to comply: “They started sending me threats on my phone. And then they even started threatening me on the U.N. e-mail.”

One such e-mail read: “Filthy Zionist rat, you will burn in hell forever for supporting the rape and torture and murder of little kids by your bestial masters.”

Nderitu exposes the UN’s blatant bias against Israel: “It’s instructive that this never happened for any other war. Not for Ukraine, not for Sudan, not for D.R.C., not for Myanmar. The focus was always Israel.”

Exciting updates on Glastonbury:

Glastonbury bosses have declared Kneecap is “welcome” at the festival despite calls for the Irish republican rap group to be banned.

Emily Eavis, the festival’s organiser, said: “Everyone is welcome here,” in response to Sir Keir Starmer calling for the trio to be deplatformed.

Liam O’Hanna, one of the three Kneecap members, appeared in court this month accused of displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November last year.

He also allegedly shouted: “Up Hamas, up Hezbollah,”…

Also:

A Palestine Action activist is set to appear as a speaker at Glastonbury Festival.

Francesca Nadin, who described herself as a former “political prisoner” and contributes to the Revolutionary Communist Party website, is listed as a speaker at the festival.

Is there a chance that there'll be mass chants?…"Free Palestine"; "From the river to the sea"; "Globalise the intifada"; "Zios not welcome here". I believe there is.

Remember the Nova festival? Israel, October 2023? Brutality on an almost unimaginable scale…slaughter, rape, abduction. And here we are, at another music festival, celebrating the perpetrators…
