For in [de Sade’s] vision of the world, nature is criminal. Thus he writes to us: "those murders which the laws punish so rigorously, those murders which we assume to be the greatest outrage which one can do to Nature, not only . . . do her no wrong; they become useful to her." And elsewhere in de Sade, we read: "Nature lives and breathes by crime," or "hungers at her pores for bloodshed"; we hear that "Nature is weary of life."

We do not rise up with love for the world from de Sade's vision. He tells us nature's eyes are "sick of seeing, her ears heavy with hearing," and we sicken as she sickens, grow heavy as she does. Nature is not, in de Sade, bent on joy, but rather she "yearns for cruelty." And spelling out for us the pornographic ideology which would turn eros into death, he writes: "she kindles death out of life, and feeds with fresh blood the innumerable and insatiable mouths suckled at her milkless breasts."

Here is an ideology which appears an exact mirror image of the miraculous initiation which seers experienced from the goddess Persephone at Eleusis. For at the apex of this transforming ritual, when a sheaf of grain was held up to the open eyes of the initiate, the initiate was supposed to have understood that there is no death, that life and death are one, the soul is immortal, and thus to have taken into herself (or himself) the secret of rebirth. But where this mystic vision sees life, de Sade sees death; where this vision sees rebirth, de Sade sees an interminable cycle of meaningless cruelty. And where the Eleusian mystery embodies a vision of both woman and nature, in the figure of a goddess, as sacred, in de Sade's mind woman and nature are embodied by a figure of cruelty who mocks every idea of the sacred in the human imagination with her avid and terrifying hunger for death.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women have everything they eat and drink scrutinized yet the Australian Breastfeeding Association is ok with a man feeding a baby “milk” tainted with chemicals. 🤔 What’s the difference, could it be that ….. “On May 12, Standing for Women Queensland posted a Twitter thread on the Australian Breastfeeding Association having received $20,000 from an LGBTQ lobby group to create an educational booklet about “chest feeding.”

Reduxx has learned that two women in Australian have received notices from Twitter informing them they have broken Australian law after tweeting about a trans-identified male who has been breastfeeding a child.

Jasmine Sussex and Standing For Women Queensland (SFWQ) were both contacted by Twitter on May 16, with the platform informing the two accounts that specific content they had posted would be censored to Australian users in order to comply with Australian law.

Twitter sent two emails to each user, the first explaining that the platform had received “official correspondence” from a “government entity or law enforcement agency” which had claimed that their content had violated Australian law. A second email was sent shortly after to each user advising them that the content was going to be withheld in Australia.

Sussex had one tweet withheld, while SFWQ had five tweets censored in total. All of the content referred to an Australian trans-identified male who sparked backlash last year after publicly declaring he had induced lactation and was breastfeeding his own biological son.

Speaking to Reduxx, Sussex explained that she was horrified when she first received the notice from Twitter.

“I was appalled that it was claimed to be in violation of Australian law to criticize what I and most Australians consider to be a cruel and medically dangerous experiment on newborn babies,” Sussex said.

Sussex is a veteran advocate for breastfeeding mothers, and found herself fired as a volunteer breastfeeding counselor in 2021 after pushing back against the adoption of “gender neutral” language in breastfeeding care.

The following year, Sussex was removed from the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) after 18 years of membership.

“I was sacked for. … ‘Engaging in Sectarian Controversy’ in breach of the ABA constitution,” she explains. “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.”

But it was while she was still a member of the ABA that Sussex first came across Jennifer Buckley, a trans-identified male who had begun to participate in motherhood discussions on the ABA’s Facebook page.

Buckley, who began transitioning in 2017, first induced lactation in 2019 in en effort to breastfeed his biological son after his wife gave birth. The 41-year-old paramedic said he had wanted to “experience what it was like to be a mum and breastfeed.”

But Sussex was disturbed by his decision, and had witnessed him participating in motherhood discussions on the ABA Facebook.

“Buckley [had been] boasting about making ‘colostrum’ for his newborn son as a transgender ‘mother.’ I didn’t respond to him directly … but I did raise with the ABA that ABA Counsellors are entitled to a safe workplace and that what appeared to be a man identifying as a woman was on the page boasting about making colostrum. Only the birth mother makes colostrum,” Sussex explains, noting that she was swiftly penalized for raising her concerns about him.

“I was blocked from the [Facebook] page and sent an email that afternoon saying it was a breach of our code of conduct/ethics for me to even raise this as a workplace health and safety issue with the ABA.”

Sussex says that she received an email from the ABA’s National Training Manager the next day removing her from her service on the National Government Funded Breastfeeding Helpline.

In May of last year, Sussex attempted to appeal to the ABA’s board on why she shouldn’t be expelled, directly referencing her concerns with Buckley.

“I raised my concerns as [I felt it was a dangerous medical experiment on humans, and due to safeguarding issues for counsellors and breastfeeding mums and babies. I also said that supporting fathers to breastfeed to affirm their gender identities is antithetical to the work of the ABA in supporting its first and only priority as per the code of ethics and constitution – the breastfeeding mother and baby partnership.”

Sussex’s attempt to convince the board to reinstate her membership has so far been unsuccessful. But since then, Sussex has had multiple interactions with Buckley through social media.

On May 12, Standing for Women Queensland posted a Twitter thread on the Australian Breastfeeding Association having received $20,000 from an LGBTQ lobby group to create an educational booklet about “chest feeding.”

The organization wrote: “Profit before ethics & safeguards for babies and mothers. Babies are being used as props for male perversion.”

To emphasize their point, Standing For Women Queensland posted a screenshot from a May 2022 Daily Mail article profiling Buckley’s decision to induce lactation and breastfeed his son. The article was fully redacted by the Daily Mail in late 2022 after Buckley complained about his representation in the piece, but archived versions of the report still exist.

In response to the tweet by SFWQ, Sussex responded with a link to another article featuring more information on Buckley, writing: “This is Buckley’s delusional queer theory take on his experience ‘breastfeeding.’ Silver lining of this awful start to life for baby Auden is that he was almost exclusively formula fed thanks to his mum.”

Days later, both SFWQ and Sussex received notices from Twitter informing them that an official entity was claiming that they had violated Australian law for the tweets, and that the content would be restricted in Australia.

SFWQ also had five additional tweets from May 5 censored, all of which featured screenshots from the now-deleted Daily Mail article on Buckley.

While the notices sent by Twitter did not specify which government or law enforcement agency had demanded the censorship, Sussex says she “strongly suspects” it was the office of the eSafety Commissioner.

The Commissioner is an arm of the Australian government dedicated to combatting “cyber abuse,” but has recently come under widespread criticism for using its power to censor media outlets, websites, and individuals at the behest of trans activists.

Earlier this month, Reduxx was contacted by the eSafety Commissioner and advised to censor or delete an article naming trans activist Riley Dennis as having been the subject of complaint after allegedly injuring female players during a women’s football game. After the article was released, the eSafety Commissioner contacted Twitter and advised them to withhold the content in compliance with Australian law.

Ovarit, a pro-woman Reddit alternative, as well as an individual gender ideology critical activist, were also contacted by the eSafety Commissioner at that time.

Sussex has submitted a Freedom of Information request to the eSafety Commissioner to concretely determine if they were the “government or law enforcement agency” behind the censorship, but does not anticipate a response for weeks, if not months.

Reduxx also reached out to the eSafety Commissioner with questions on the Twitter action against Sussex and Standing for Women Queensland, but was told the office would not comment on individual cases.

Leah Whiston, a member of Standing for Women Queensland who operates their official Twitter account, admits she was “taken aback” when she received the notice advising her that her posts on Buckley had violated Australian law.

“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,” Whiston says.

Unlike Sussex, Whiston had only become aware of Buckley months ago after a friend first informed her about his story in the Daily Mail. More recently, Sussex connected with Whiston on the subject and shared more information.

“I’ve been horrified ever since. Mainly worrying about safety of his wife and child,” Whiston explains, noting that she has never personally interacted with Buckley.

“Being a new mother myself, I understand the importance of the breastfeeding bond between mother and baby in a way I didn’t before I embarked on it myself … I’m still in disbelief about what’s occurred with Buckley and his baby and how this has been allowed to happen,” Whiston says.

“I’m pregnant again, and it has made me lose faith in the institutions that I will likely use again, especially the Australian Breastfeeding Association. It makes me wonder how on earth I can trust the people who are meant to provide ethical care and safeguards to mothers and babies, if they advocate for men to use babies as props for men’s sexual fetishes, and silence the women who speak out about how wrong this all is.”

Sussex shares the sentiment, adding from her expertise as a breastfeeding counselor that men attempting to breastfeed babies is “biologically and psychologically dangerous” for all involved.

“Men who covet female physiology in this way are, in my opinion, either suffering from a serious delusion or sexually motivated by the idea of themselves as lactating women,” Sussex says. “There is no evidence that drug-induced secretions from a male nipple are in any way equivalent to mother’s milk. It is more likely the secretions are akin to galactorea, which occurs when

I thought about dogs and about how Roman aligns with the hyena, the laughing dog (can't see from under the compacted layers of jokes to confront the truth), stalking scavenger and opportunist (always hanging at the edges of meetings and unable to come up with specific moves for the company, slotting in when kendall is unable to and before shiv is ever considered) , biologically close to felines to the point of having barbed tongues (catboy. To me), traits of the wolf but half of the power (the failed last son of Logan), and more often than not associated with negative folklore (Stewy saying everyone thinks Roman is a coked up dauphin/siblings misconstruing his attachment to Mom as an oedipus complex). Maybe they did get him from a hyena farm

#hyenas are also matriarchal and the male has little to nothing to do with raising pups #the oedipus thing though. is my personal feeling. that i believe seeing caroline show ANY favoritism immediately is perverse to them #which is layers of sad bc even roman doesnt seek her affection/understanding the way kendall did #ramble #dog mood tonight

Offline. So many older lesbian spaces were "underground". Lots of the magazines and art and books are still circulating and many of those women are still around. The biggest difference between then and now is that our public sphere is the internet. Entire countries can be omitted. Censorship, down to making a single word illegal, can be carried out with 100% effectiveness, because we do not speak with our mouths but with a "Post" button. It is all so moderated. I find it comparable to the older division of women through houses. We are all in separate boxes thinking "where are the other ones like me?" but we cannot see each other. They still exist. The answer is to leave this false world and seek them out in real life. How to do that requires creativity and resourcefulness. Stickers with a slogan you stand by signed with a secure email address may attract some. Others may be at protests, or in sports. Building your community means risk, work, and time.

unfortunately im talking about a combination of online and offline 🥲 when in the UK, i did make a friend group of like-minded lesbians and it was so great. we’d occasionally go to lesbian events and such but very often it was not lesbian-exclusive and filled with gender-y stuff which is more or less inescapable. we also went to the lesbian strength march and we met women from get the l out back then, before they were as big as they are now. that memory isnt as fond anymore bc it turns out get the l out is a polilez organisation. then in germany, my gf and i went to some radfem events (i could not find a single lesbian event anywhere. there are lesbian organisations but we’ll get to that in a bit) and they were talking about being lesbians. turns out, they’re mainly political lesbians. it makes no sense bc they preach “lesbians don’t like dick!” “lesbians can’t be attracted to men!!” but then actually if u say that and mean it they argue that every woman can be a lesbian. the mainstream lgbt community & lesbian community isnt much better, you’ll find normie lesbians here and there but you’ll also be among many non-lesbians and political lesbians. ive met many lesbians but found no lesbian community. and most lesbians are also pretty into the genderist stuff. so it’s like no matter where i look and go, there isn’t really a place for lesbians to just be among other lesbians. this is not even touching on bahrain where the community is extremely underground, 0 online presence, and u basically find each other through ladies nights or female-only events (when all the bahraini lesbians decide to go out at once) or word of mouth but then when u get to know a lot of them, most have such intense self-hatred that u just end up feeling insecure about being a lesbian as well. or they’re extremely closeted and u have to sneak around. or they’re also very gender-y and can’t talk about anything else.

#i met one lesbian who told me about how she had a gf for many years who just secretly married a man then left her #and when she got upset her bi gf was like ur just mad cause u can’t get a man with how u look #so she married a man that was chasing after her for years to prove a point #which was absolutely insane to me. she was like what 28 at this point? 30? anyways the man dies so she got lucky there #bc he was already trying to pressure her into doing things she doesn’t want. luckily she’s quite strong and could fend for herself but damn #another was telling me she’s a lesbian bc she has a hormonal imbalance and a male brain and a perversion. insanity #i wasnt closeted but i felt so trapped and hopeless bc damn is there no lesbian that realises she’s ok as is in bahrain smh..#i found one that seemed very cool but shes probably a fuckboy so it didn’t get far
