‘Birthing people ain’t all women’, claims group that runs lactation classes across UK
NHS midwives have been trained by a trans workshop that promotes male breastfeeding, The Telegraph can reveal.
The Queer Birth Club runs “LGBTQ+” competency and lactation classes, using the tag line “birthing people ain’t all women”.
The group has provided training sessions for NHS England and a number of trusts across the UK, and its founder has given talks at the Royal College of Midwives (RCM).
One nurse who raised concerns about the training is now facing disciplinary action.
The NHS worker told The Telegraph: “The content of these sessions undermines established clinical standards and introduces extreme ideological beliefs that have no place in healthcare settings.”
