In a move some decry as Orwellian, two Australian women report being cited for a crime because they criticized a biological male who forced an infant to suckle his breast.
The legal infractions were first reported by Reduxx, a “Pro-Woman, Pro-Child” media outlet.
The two female lawbreakers, Jasmine Sussex and Leah Whiston, were contacted by Twitter administrators on May 16 — informing them their tweets had violated Australian law.
Reportedly, a “government entity or law enforcement agency” notified Twitter of the alleged crime and ordered the platform to censor posts critical of Jennifer Buckley, a male who identifies as female.
Whiston and Sussex criticized Buckley after posting that after several years of transitioning from male to female, lactation was possible and that he was attempting to breastfeed his newborn son.
The women told the U.K. Daily Mail that “men shouldn’t breastfeed because breastfeeding [is] for [the health of] the baby” and that “there is no evidence that any male-induced milk is equivalent to mother’s milk.”
The women added: “We have no idea if the substance is even milk. It’s absolutely a human experiment on babies.”
Following the interview with the Daily Mail, Sussex, a breastfeeding counselor, was fired from her job for failing to comply with the adoption of “gender-neutral” language in breastfeeding care.
Reduxx reported that the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) later removed Sussex from their roster.
“I was sacked for. … ‘Engaging in Sectarian Controversy’ in breach of the ABA constitution,” Sussex told Reduxx. “In other words, continuing to talk about the dangers of gender identity ideology for mothers and babies, including how men were forcing their way into the breastfeeding relationship by attempting to induce lactation.”
Whiston, a Standing for Women Queensland (SFWQ) representative, posted on Twitter that an LGBT lobby group allegedly gave the ABA $20,000 to create an educational booklet about “chestfeeding.”
In the Twitter thread, Whiston asserted that the ABA group had put “profits before ethics & safeguards for babies & mothers” and that individuals were “using babies as props for male perversion.”
SFWQ suggested that Buckley’s “obsess[ion] with making his wife’s newborn baby suck his nipples” amounts to “child abuse.”
Whiston complained to Reduxx: “I see that women are silenced all the time now for speaking out about the wrongs of child abuse. Child abuse seems to have been totally normalized these days. I’ve been horrified ever since. Mainly worrying about [the] safety of his wife and child.”
