Great post, thank you Lucy. The bullshit is just beyond head-wreaking at this stage, and every time I feel a glimmer of hope that sanity might prevail something crazy happens. It's two steps forward, one step back, but we must keep talking, keep speaking the truth to anyone who'll listen. What an utter disappointment LLL is.
Another brilliant post Lucy. Thank you for expressing so eloquently the anger and bewilderment that so many of us feel. We must not let these people prevail, for their future is not one we can leave to our children.
Bless you Indio. I’m so sorry that we live in a world that did this to your family. We must use all our love and female resilience to fight for a way out. There is no future worth having for our children if we don’t.
I have to echo Katrina Bigg's. Your last words moved me to the core. History repeating itself. This is the saddest part of this "debate" that has turned into a totalitarian style censorship --how can we trust the vision of a "new world" to those who don't care about mothers and babies health? Thank you for your courage to speak up!
It is shocking that you and so many other talented women and men are now having to direct their energies into trying to combat destructive, sick, fetishistic nonsense which should have been stopped at source by any responsible authority. We have other things to do than respond time after time to this sickness. But I am glad you are doing it Lucy, we need you.
Thank you for another great piece of writing. To see the breadth of disconnect and poor mental health, the comments under the mastectomy video are mostly positive; young girls are watching to be inspired to do the same.
Very good last words - “Remember this next time you witness a witch-hunt – often the witch is just a woman telling the truth.” :-)
Birth and breastfeeding are 100% female and belong to mothers. Let's never capitulate to the deceit that pretends otherwise. Shame on LLLI.
“this statement from the LLLI website is false: “If you have had chest (top) surgery you may be able to produce some milk”.
How can they even say this? It’s blatantly false.

Dearest Lucy,
Thank you for an informative, important article. The picture of that
new mother with her baby and seeing her words of regret are truly heart
breaking. Someday, and I hope it is soon, this whole mass of lies will dissipate.
In the meantime, so many have been hurt. My beloved granddaughter was
caught up in this horrendous cult as a young adult. Even with her sad background
of abuse, abandonment and mental issues, I would have never thought of her as
becoming what she has become. I do not know all the circumstances around
her capture, all I know is what I observed before she cut off all communication
with me. She was one of the most loving, maternal children I ever knew, tender
to and protective of her younger siblings, (from her father's two other baby mamas,
both of whom are caught up in this mess).
She was always so kind to any little animal, and to any younger people.
She married extremely young, her husband and her being still teenagers, she
was pregnant and had her second child as my husband was dying from cancer.
She desperately wanted her children and grieved when she miscarried at least
two babies that I know of. After my husband's death, I was not really there for
anybody, even though I babysat her two children whenever she asked. Those
times I was with them, were balm to my hurting soul. She and her family moved
out of the house and I did not see them for a period of time. Everything was a blur
as I survived one day at a time. I was horrified when I saw my granddaughter next.
She had shaved her head partially, she had a scanty beard on her once beautiful
face and she was pregnant once more. I have not seen her since then, but heard she
had another precious little girl. Since then, I have done my research, and now I realize what
she has done. How could she put her baby through this? What has been done to
that innocent child with her undoubtably having taken testosterone to the extent
of growing a beard? How could she do this to her other children, what are they going
through now? Grandparents have no rights at all, and I am the great grandparent.
So I live in wait, for the madness to come to an end. And it will. It is happening with
the help of courageous people such as yourself. Please continue with the truth.
Our prayers will be heard.
Love, Indio
