Who is that, I've never heard of this person? A trans rights activist? Off to Google...
Whittle is a particularly rapid TRA. There is a very interesting article here covering her whole history and involvement in the trans movement.

Children’s wards are not single sex.
I mentioned the flags too on my submission!
So did I! If we all did that independently, let’s hope a whole load of people have raised that point in the survey. I can’t believe its come to this really, where NHS buildings, which should be the epitome of neutrality, are conveying solidarity to a particular ideology, especially one that seeks to dismiss the importance of biology. Mad!
I had to balance my answers that is adding extra feedback on non gender related questions (so that I wasn't written off as a tErfy lOoN with only 1 agenda)
Much more succinctly put than mine.
Don't need to read the document, just need to go through all the questions but I'd say it pretty straightforward, and didn't take too long to complete
They contextualise every question by giving the relevant info so no need to have read the whole document beforehand.
Here you go!
Can I ask why you object to women inducing lactation, such as those who have children through adoption or the non birthing mother? It’s largely done through stimulation, taking the pill and then stopping, and sometimes a drug like domperidone (which mums may also be prescribed after birth to help with milk supply, as it’s a known galactogogue meaning it aids milk production). Once this initial stimulation/medication has been done, these women can produce the same amount of milk as if they’d given birth and fully feed an infant if the demand continues (ie regular feeding or pumping). I’m struggling to see the issue? A friend of mine in a same sex relationship as her wife had insufficient glandular tissue, meaning she would have struggled to make enough milk and supplementation was likely. This way the baby was able to avoid formula (which was important to them). Honestly as someone who struggled with feeding, if I was in a same sex relationship I’d have loved the idea of sharing the breastfeeding!
I really struggled with breastfeeding my first and received little to no help at all. Waiting lists were so long that I had to start formula feeding as my baby was starving. There was no way back after that. However the formula feeing was totally fine once I had gotten over my feeling of failure as a mum. I had already had IVF so I felt that this was another failure to add to the list.Here you go!
