Women also bottle feed. Men bottle feed too. We do not have to buckle to the insanity of the minuscule minority of lunatics who make us feel guilty for not sharing their insanity. \u2018Chest feeding?\u2019 \u2018human milk feeding?\u2019 WTF STOP IT!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was unclear what sparked Alley\u2019s comment, but last week, as The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/academy-of-breastfeeding-medicine-introduces-new-lactation-related-language-human-milk-feeding\">reported<\/a>, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine published new guidelines on \u201clactation-related language.\u201d Among the organization\u2019s recommendations is replacing the verb breastfeeding with gender-neutral terms like \u201chuman milk feeding\u201d and \u201cchest-feeding\u201d because, they claim, \u201cnot all people who give birth and lactate identify as female.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the vast majority of responses to Alley, including nearly 16,000 likes, expressed agreement, she seemed to address the comparatively few critical replies about 15 minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a little tired of the degrading and nullifying of women and their abilities,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kirstiealley\/status\/1426516832488411142?s=20\">explained<\/a> further. \u201cBreastfeeding is one of our abilities. It\u2019s a beautiful and important ability. Knock off the nullifying of women [for] the sake of lunatics. Equal rights does not equal insanity.\u201d A few minutes after that, she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kirstiealley\/status\/1426519743373139971?s=20\">added<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s our personal responsibility to agree or disagree with concepts. My only point here today is don\u2019t let insanity force you to pretend like you agree with the insanity. It\u2019s part of the insanity to shame you into agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her final post on Saturday, Alley denied that her support for former President Trump had any impact on her beliefs about the issue of trans terminology, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kirstiealley\/status\/1426521412353855488?s=20\">saying<\/a>, \u201cMy views of this BS are not political. I have plenty of friends from both political persuasions who SHARE the view of the INSANITIES being shoved down our throats by pervs trying to degrade our society. Don\u2019t be afraid to disagree with people who seek to pervert workable morals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The following day, Alley <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kirstiealley\/status\/1426903516895977478?s=20\">addressed<\/a> another detractor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t need to speak for \u2018cis\u2019 women,\u201d she said to a critic who <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Juice_Foxx\/status\/1426901201539407875?s=20\">argued<\/a> that Alley doesn\u2019t speak for \u201ccis women\u2019s breasts or bodies.\u201d She went on, \u201cI am a woman and feel comfortable just calling myself a woman and having a woman\u2019s point of view. I don\u2019t need to be ASKED to speak Deb. We handled that pretty well in 1920.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Alley\u2019s final word on the subject Sunday, she shared that she prefers terms that acknowledge her own womanhood.&nbsp; \u201cFor the record I don\u2019t care what people call themselves or categorize their identity. Just leave mine alone,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m happy with woman, mother, actress, sister, daughter, grandma and [girlie] \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
