I saw this yesterday and debated about posting it. Today, I see quoted portions of the resignation letter.
I'm sharing because I feel that the woke agenda is causing professionals to sacrifice valuable support to traditional families who need their support in an era of lost generational wisdom.
I'm still here and will remain to support women and their breastfeeding choices. ✌️💪🤱🤰

The founder of La Leche League resigned: November 9, 2024
I can’t imagine being Marian, and seeing my lifetime of incredible achievements made into a travesty.
Men do not belong in these women’s spaces and Babies do not deserve to be an experiment in this chemically induced secretions from men’s chests.
I am heartbroken for all of the women who are being subjected to the destruction of such an incredible nonprofit, who have helped women from all over the world in their most vulnerable times
“Dear Leaders of La Leche League,
I want to share some important news.
On November 6, 2024, I resigned from the LLLI Board of Directors and from LLL itself, an organization that has become a travesty of my original intent.
From an organization with the specific Mission of supporting biological women who want to give their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding them, LLL’s focus has subtly shifted to include men who, for whatever reason, want to have the experience of breastfeeding despite no careful long-term research on male lactation and how that may affect the baby.
This shift from following the norms of Nature, which is the core of mothering through breastfeeding, to indulging the fantasies of adults, is destroying our organization.
Despite my efforts these past two years as a Board member, it has become clear that there is nothing I can do to change this trajectory by staying involved.
Still, I leave the door open to come back when La Leche League returns to its original Mission and Purpose.
I thank each of you for your years of making this world a healthier and happier place by being there for all mothers needing help with breastfeeding their babies. “
With much love,
Marian Tompson
Founder of La Leche League
