An Aussie mum has been sacked as a breastfeeding counsellor because she didn’t use the gender-neutral term ‘parent’.

Her crime was using the term ‘mother’, which is being categorised as “hate speech” by the Australian Breastfeeding Association, of which Jasmine Sussex (above left) was a member for almost two decades and a counsellor until last year.

She told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings one group of counsellors had complained about another group of counsellors for overusing the term ‘mothers’ in relation to breastfeeding, while she was singled out for saying “only mothers breastfeed” and accused of hate speech and bullying.

“No one who was transgender was ever involved in these conversations… I was giving a history update on the ABA and how it operates,” she told Bartlett on Wednesday.

“The comments were made on a social media page the ABA runs to support mothers.

“This is what happens when you try to be politically correct or meet the dictates of gender ideology I guess.”
