The Trans Inclusion Controversy That Took Over La Leche League w/Helen Joyce & Marian Tompson | 198
In this special episode, Sasha and Stella pass the mic to honorary guest host, journalist, author, and feminist campaigner, Helen Joyce, who interviews Marian Tompson, in connection with Joyce’s recent article about Marian in The Times, "Why I Quit the Breastfeeding Charity I Founded Over Trans Ideology".
Marian Tompson, along with six other mothers, founded the global breastfeeding support network, La Leche League, in 1956. In November 2024, Tompson resigned from both the organization and its Board of Directors, believing it had strayed from its original mission to support biological mothers in breastfeeding.
Helen’s conversation with Marian touches on the physiological intricacies of brea...

    I never get a really clear idea of either of these women’s primary objections. It’s as if a nerve has been touched and then there’s a casting about for something objective to take issue with. Personally, as someone who has experienced AGP-type desires and conflicts for a lifetime, I find the simplicity of definition: attraction to a self-embodied image - very helpful to explain and make sense of personal desires and conflicts. That paraphilias are already commonly understood in these terms makes Phil’s statements and terminology in one way pretty redundant in my view, but certainly not objectionable, or even psychologically/psychotherapeutically misleading. I really don’t know what their beef is other than an objection to the word sexuality (as in ‘auto heterosexuality’) which I believe to be unnecessary and possibly confusing, as the Irish lady points out, it’s not a sexuality, it’s a paraphilia. However, being introduced to the concept of paraphilia and how it operates, is extremely useful in clarifying what’s going on internally and Helps to put aside unnecessary soul searching and anxiety when trying to understand these desires and conflicts, and so what if it’s all been done before, and Blanchard was the first to codify it all? That doesn’t mean there’s not some function and benefit to writing about it again. Someone may come across Phil’s book before they ever come across the concept of AGP. Once I understood what my desire was, in terms of what’s going on and how it functions, and accepted that this is a lifelong facet of my personality, then I’m in a position to both accept and where necessary restrain such indulgences without shame, repression or any other unhelpful coping mechanisms. Maybe they’re worried that they’ll be out of a job by virtue of the advertising of this simple explanation of autogynophilia! Maybe they want it all to be so nuanced and complicated, that only a professional such as themselves could possibly sort it out.

    You know it’s impossible to manipulate someone into or out of a gender identity, and to use manipulative language to get them to figure it out for themselves with guardrails where you don’t want them to go is just that. It’s fine to tell them your opinions so long as you believe they are not insulting or threatening or offensive opinions, share your experiences about yourself, and ask them no leading questions about their opinions and experiences. But look it is going to be what it is going to be. Save yourself a lot of trouble and be humble. Realize you may be more experienced in your life or in life in general but you aren’t necessarily experienced with what they are going through or with their particular gender identity, even if you share the same sex (recognized/categorized) at birth.

    “He” use to be a non-binary pronoun and “they/them/their” have always been little known non-binary pronouns used generally to denote ambiguous or unknown genders, as in “the mysterious killer’s (their) car, was found near their gun, which was associated with them when they mistakenly left their bloody glove nearby.”

    People have recently “proved” binary sex dies not exist in the very same way that Goethe proved that leaves flowers and fruits don’t exist. It’s not a binary. No one is the platonic ideal of the man woman girl or boy. but it is very profoundly bimodal. Some are a lot further from that platonic ideal than others, either phenotypically, in terms of purely non-biological gender presentation, and in terms of gender psychology, and narrowly sexuality. We need to accept that.

    Birth sex assignment is at best a rather unscientific thing, at best a certificate of genital sex conformity. Which, I wonder why anyone needs that. It is a reflection of a social obsession with statistics and categories. Nobody is hurt by not having them, unless you harm yourself by making it important in your own mind. But sone having it and not others says something about those who don’t, so either go all in for everyone or limit it to truly ambiguous cases. It should not be simply up to the parents.

    The level of depravity Western societies have fallen into by being too “kind” and “inclusive” is absolutely disturbing. God help us! Emma, thank you for sharing your story and for your advocacy. I will reach out to my MP in Canada to see how I may be able to help them understand the negative impact the trans trend is having on society, and more specifically children. The chest feeding conversation makes me feel physically ill, which I think its a healthy instinctual reaction. As Stella pointed out, it is well established that exposing children to overt sexual content is sexual abuse. Could we classify acting out autogynephilic trans behaviours around children as overt sexual content, and a form of sexual abuse? I Thanks for having this conversation. This talk, and entire channel need more exposure.

    " These doctors don't know the side effects ". That's the biggest lie in medicine. Doctors and scientists have known since the late 40's what synthetic hormones would do. The first scentist/doctor who created them, I can't remember his name, created synthetic testosterone and estrogen in 1947. After WWII when the concentration camps were discovered and the people in them, doctors were racing to find ways to nourish those people quickly and get weight on them. Synthetic hormones was one of the sciences that was used. That doctor had good intentions, but sadly through the years that changed. Through the 70's and 80's they were used for sports enhancement. Sadly this is where I was exposed to it. I'd hang out in a gym and I was the guy with the gear. I was in that life for 20 years. We did our own research because we knew, a drug that could put 20lbs of muscle mass on you in just 6 short weeks had to have side effects that came along with it. I don't even have a college degree and I could figure that out. I say that because estrogen is no different. Test and estrogen work in sync with each other. So if a man on estrogen starts having drastic feminine results and thinks those results don't come with side effects? They are crazy, they are stupid if not insane. Folks, parents, I'm telling ya. Synthetic hormones ain't no joke. Rather, your son is trying to bulk up with testosterone or your kid is going through this gender stuff. Once that needle goes in, it's the point of no return. Once those synthetic hormones are in the body, they change everything . Things seen and unseen. So when your kid spends to much time on tik tok and comes at you saying they think they are the opposite sex? You better think long and hard and like this guy, you better ask questions.

There is no difference between our physical bodies and our so-called souls, we are what we are.

I helped with house work and would do it, but she would come back and find all of her undergarments still in the basket because I did not want to touch it. All other aspects of sexuality were normal though.

    💕 Maia! great conversation! so, maybe tangential maybe not, but Maia seems like every kid who was in gifted class with me (including myself). she even has a similar “literalness” that i have (to this day). We were/are all what ppl these days call neurodivergent. I think at one point we’d have all been labeled “high functioning autistic” or “aspergers” (which has fallen out of favor). And this reminds me of either a post or comment I saw on PITT Substack. It was the mother of a gifted boy who’d transitioned WITH HIS ENTIRE GIFTED CLASS and I think this is something that needs study, discussion, and recognition b/c parents of these kids are heartbroken and bewildered-and the kids will be dealing with the fallout for the rest of their lives. Just throwing all that into the mix: gifted/spectrumy/high-functioning kids are seriously in danger of this.

The numbers of facets affecting this situation are overwhelming to me. I'm a pretty smart and progressive dad, but I'm also over 60, which makes me "one of those" to my 19 year old daughter. Her LGBTQ friends and influence, changing her name, her ADHD, conflicting with my 40 years of sobriety. My divorce, when my kid was one, with her now newer therapist mom, who fully supports her going no contact. The hill seems almost unclimbable. The one thing I have is that my daughter and I were so close until she was about 12 or 13. I'm going to do the things recommended, but the need to be authentic is huge for me. I'm also a recovering New Yorker. Yikes, right? Anyway, this was a really nice discussion. I'm glad to have seen this, and feel a little more understood. Wish me luck...Pete

Not surprisingly we are not close.

    A woman is someone who works mentaly from the outside to the inside ! A man is the opposite. Theory of my shrink number 2.
