Milli Hill is staying on the program and our request was honored. I am completely overwhelmed by how many of you stepped up to make this happen. Please just take a moment to be proud of yourselves because this outcome belongs entirely to you.

The Coalition for Biological Reality – Australia & New Zealand condemns the hate campaign initiated by New Zealand’s Rainbow Midwives Alliance against respected UK author and birthing educator Milli Hill.
Rainbow Midwives Alliance has called upon the New Zealand College of Midwives (NZCOM) to cancel Ms Hill from speaking at their event, despite her exceptional contribution to midwifery including nine years running the UK grassroots organisation, The Positive Birth Movement.
Ms Hill is not ‘transphobic’ nor has she shared ‘hate speech toward gender minorities’ as claimed by Rainbow Midwives Alliance. On the contrary, Ms Hill merely shares the concerns of the majority of New Zealand women (and men) around the LGBTQIA+ lobby’s erasure of women and women’s language from the birthing world.
Pregnancy, birthing and lactation are inherently female qualities determined by sex, not gender identity. In some cases trans ‘men’ and non-binary people get pregnant and give birth because they are female, not because they are men and not because they are sexless.
In a democratic society such as New Zealand, Ms Hill, and indeed all women, are free to express and discuss their concerns about the attempts to make birthing and pregnancy a ‘gender neutral’ endeavour. This should not result in anyone’s ‘cancellation’ nor make them the object of defamatory and hateful accusations depicting them as ‘actively perpetuat[ing] harm within rainbow communities.’
The Coalition for Biological Reality and our signatories stand with Milli Hill and we encourage respectful debate on these issues. We condemn the totalitarian stance taken by Rainbow Midwives Alliance and the outright bullying demonstrated by the organisation.
We call upon the New Zealand College of Midwives to support Milli Hill, to continue centring women in birthing language whilst offering tailored support to trans and non-binary parents. Milli Hill has proved herself an expert in the birthing world and is an ideal woman to be NZCOM’s keynote speaker at their upcoming conference in November 2021.
We also call upon New Zealand activist organisation, ActionStation to remove the petition started by Rainbow Midwives Alliance to have Ms Hill deplatformed. The petition breaches every core value that ActionStation purports to hold, in particular, ‘MANAAKITANGA: Hospitality, kindness, respect, generosity and care for others without expecting anything in return.’ There is nothing kind about deplatforming a woman for centring women in what is fundamentally women’s business: the business of birthing.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have gathered here to defend Milli Hill. Seeing the count climb toward one thousand makes me realize this movement belongs to all of you. If you can help us reach that number today it would send a message that could not be clearer.

I would live to have had Milli around when I had my 2 sons 30 plus years ago. And absolutely agree that women's biology is the determining factor of their sex. Solidarity to Milli for extraordinary work centred on women's functions & experiences.
The attacks on Ms Hill are defamatory & baseless. Ms Hill has been & remains a champion for women, & her work & views could only be construed as "transphobic" if contemporary trans activism is rooted in misogyny - disregard for & hatred of the female sex class.
Signing becauseI am a woman, wife, mother, grandmother. And daughter and sister of two wonderful midwives who spent their whole lives caring for WOMEN. No man was ever in their labour wards! Midwives centre women, first, last and always.
The attempt to erase biological sex in matters of birth of all things, and to punish those who deal with it rationally, is obscene. Cancelling those who merely speak about biological reality should not be part of any free-speech centered, democratic society.
It's disappointing that the LGBTTQIA+ communities vision of 'inclusion' is exclusive of women - half the population! Good on Milli Hill for speaking up against this - language can be inclusive for all without the need to erase women. So over this cancel culture!
My wife says, I have more hair on my BALLS then on my HEAD!
The Borg collective turned Sharon Horrocks into a tactical drone, she was fat and big when she was human. She has big tactical armor over her chest and shoulders and they grafted big Borg abs on her stomach. I get horny licking her Borg abs. I have the hots for Borg women!

Cancel culture shouldn't be tolerated in the birthing world. Women have fought long & hard to have their voices heard & centrally placed during birth. Now is not the time to silence their voices under the umbrella of gender neutrality.
