Keep Milli Hill as Keynote Speaker at Midwifery Conference

sisterhood and solidarity

Different opinions do not automatically equal transphobic views. Her wealth of experience is too valuable to side line.

Keep her! Her words matter xx

Women - adult human females must be allowed a say about the language we use to talk about ourselves . No other group can impose their feelings and views on us and change our language about ourselves . It cannot be that everyone except actual women can decide this for us .

Milli Hill should not be cancelled or punished for speaking the truth. We should be grateful to her for standing up for women's rights

Keep going Milli! Regards from a midwife in Indonesia. Youre fab and such a great one. Keep noticing that your messages arent meant to get someone or some groups down. I go with you! Really wish Indonesia have one like you here. Chin up!

Milli has skills to explain and articulate verbally and through writing the challenge to reality we see today . I was left confused about what I witnessed and she helped me get clearer and understand the facts around sex gender and birth . She is a campaigner for women’s rights and so it would be wrong to deny the conference attendees an opportunity to hear her presentation because someone opposes her position.

Free speech is still legal. The vicious kind of objection put forward has no place in a democracy.

This is so important.

Millie Hill is someone that can create a huge ripple effect. The ones really caring about birth and the future generation get this

Stay strong Milli. You have my support and gratitude.

This week the Taliban took power in Kabul and in NZ groups want to stop a respected midwife from educating women and birth workers on how best to empower & support women through pregnancy and birth? Let's not return to the middle ages but remain in the 21st century, and empower women to have their best possible birth experience for the wellbeing of all our future families.

Sex matters, in life, in law and particularly in pregnancy and birth. Milli Hill is right. Supporting biological women is not hate speech. It's time to stop conflating sex and gender.

Women = adult human female. Males dont give birth.

Please do not give into this bigotry. Respect Milli's knowledge and tireless work over the years for the welfare of women. Only women ( adult human females ) give birth to children.

Recognising that the term “woman” belongs in conversations about birth is not transphobic. When we remove this terminology we disempower the very group that we’ve spent decades fighting to empower.

I am a retired midwife. Milli speaks for me. So let her.

Women aren’t social constructs. Only females give birth. Stop lying.

Disappointed in Action Station for leaving this petition up for so long, as it seems to clearly breach their own rules.

Millies teachings helped me through my birth. She is about supporting women. It’s inconceivable that she be cancelled for trying to support women!!
