So many people have tweeted about this, and there have been loads of threads written about it, so I can’t imagine that the authors of this book haven’t seen it… but they remain silent, which is so incredibly disappointing.
I actually was approached to write a review of this book at the end of last year--- a review I did write & it was blocked bc it was an honest review. Some shady things from the editors.
My review *IS* coming out and it's not whitewashed which is what this incestuous club wants.

I did not have Kirstie Allsopp: supporter of trans rights on my 2023 bingo card, but it is a most welcome surprise
What mystifies me about the trans moral panic is that women outnumber trans women by a ratio so large I can’t calculate it. Transwomen are a minority that’s been excluded, abused, beaten & killed for centuries. It’s the ultimate “they are more scared of us than we are of them”

Watching BBC news right now. They are calling the destruction of Gaza & massacre of its people, “the consequences of war”. Absolutely not. The rules of war are not being followed. This is genocide.
I know most of you don’t follow me for my opinions on Israel-Palestine. But I just can’t turn away from it. It is the worst atrocity of my adult life - 2m people locked in a small area, getting bombed and starved with nowhere to go. Truly horrific. I feel compelled to speak out.

So hopefully this thread explains why it’s actually a hell of a lot easier to avert your eyes if you’re offended by the sight of breastfeeding, than it is for a mother to not do it, or cover up. I’m not even going to mention why a mother shouldn’t have to move elsewhere to do it

Attitudes are changing, thankfully, but when you’ve been up ALL NIGHT LONG & you’re mentally & physically exhausted, & in pain, the very last thing you need is to feel like you can’t do this VERY NECESSARY THING without some idiot complaining about it & making you feel unwelcome.

So why is it important to say that you “support”, rather than “permit” breastfeeding? Because feeling self conscious & like others disapprove is just another reason - from the long list I’ve just given (physical & mental exhaustion, pain etc.) that puts mothers off breastfeeding.

Since then MRO has had to deal with 2 weeks of racist attacks - on her expertise & even her identity. Why would you want those racists to be vindicated by your silence? Why wouldn’t you want to distance yourself from that despicable behaviour by offering her some support?

So, if KLM are concerned about the comfort of their other - non breastfeeding passengers - over those who are doing so, they should probably consider what would be more of an annoyance: a screaming baby in distress, or the potential to briefly see a mother’s nipple.

Breastfeeding is really hard. It does get easier, but the first 3 months are especially gruelling. It can be incredibly painful; it is physically exhausting & it can be utterly relentless. In the early days, each feed can take an hour or more & be required every couple of hours.
