HSE funds lobby giving information on breast binding and testicle tucking

Thread from May 9th 2021

Nonsuch High School sixth-formers told girls, 11, how to bind breasts

A leading grammar school has been reported to the Department for Education after a newsletter, sent to girls as young as 11, explained how to bind their breasts

Sian Griffiths, Education EditorThe Sunday Times

Letter was compiled by sixth-formers at the school.

Where

    would

       sixth-formers

          get

             such

               ideas

                  from?.....

Could schoolchildren be influenced by lobby groups such as TENI here in Ireland which offers "lifehacks" advice on binding and tucking?

Is it appropriate @HSELive @roinnslainte to be funding a lobby group that promotes this? @morningireland @NTBreakfast @KatieGHannon

Is this safe or healthy @roinnslainte @HSELive @ICGPnews ?

Has any medical advice been sought on possible risks?

Is it appropriate that the State funds advice on how to "Push the testicles back up inside"? @IMT_latest @MedCouncilIRL  @DonnellyStephen @rodericogorman @irishdailymail @IrishSunOnline @IrishTimes @Independent_ie @RTE_PrimeTime @PatKennyNT @RadioBrendanRTE @drivetimerte

@SianGriffiths6 It's not sixth-formers promoting this here in Ireland, it's a State funded lobby group: https://teni.ie/lifehacks/
