verbal abuse in bathroom

As someone who 5 years ago was attacked and sexually assaulted by a stranger (male) whilst alone, it changed me greatly, in that I no longer feel safe without a friend accompanying me. Until recently I was okay sharing/using spaces with trans women (Heck one of my friends is a trans woman, albeit post-op and up until 2 years ago I would have been on the side of the activists saying that they aren't a threat). That is until I had a rather badly passing trans woman, possibly transvestite, aggressively threaten me and my friend (same as mentioned above) in the toilets that they would "rape" us dumb bitches with their "lady dick", because we were in their "way"... This was despite there being enough room to manoeuvre around me and my friend who were washing our hands chatting about the film we had just seen. It brought back flashbacks to the man who had attacked me 3 years prior, and since I had not felt confident going into a changing room or bathroom without a friend or family member present. I'm not sure whether the individual in question would have assaulted me/us if my friend I was with hadn't made a snide comment that the individual wasn't the only one with a lady dick, here...

drug treatment facility

For the sake of my mental wellbeing I'll keep this short. I admitted myself to a women-only treatment facility for a reason, as did every other woman there. Our lives has been devastated by men. Joining us was a man with split personalities - one was "Tinkerbell" who loves nail polish and the color green. The other was "Bob" who had been responsible for heinous crimes against children and women. He would recall stories of his "old self" that triggered all of us. He would follow me into the restroom just to see me my wash my hands, or close the stall door. He began stalking a woman who left treatment because of him. Nobody involved felt safe giving a statement because the social repercussions of doing so were too great.

breastfeeding volunteer support organization for mothers

The Australian Breastfeeding Association is under attack from within. A small group of influential breastfeeding counsellor volunteers are trying to force a change in the organisation's mission from mother-to-mother support for breastfeeding to "lactation support" for “parents”.

This language change will create space for men who identify as women to be affirmed and supported by trained ABA volunteers to chemically induce male lactation.

The female volunteers who are desperately lobbying head office to become a male inclusive lactation organisation are also trying to coerce gender critical counsellors to use “parenting” language by launching coordinated concocted complaints against mothers who call themselves mothers.

Only women who have breastfed for at least six months are eligible to train as peer support breastfeeding counsellors. They are not trained to support men wishing to induce lactation as part of their trans sexual identity.

The ABA is currently struggling to stave off this coordinated attack. The Association of Breastfeeding Mothers in Britain has co-opted transgenderism to appease the gender identity activists. La Leche League has long since welcomed men as potential lactators without any studies done on the safety of male breastmilk for men or babies.

Will the Australian Breastfeeding Association be the next great sex-based support group to fall?
