So mumsnets favourite "women's" officer has been twittering about how t**fs can correctly gender mermaids - given mermaids have no genitals.
One plucky, soon to be blocked respondent amused me greatly with this reply:
"They likely think, that like the mermaids themselves, their gender is make believe. Like yours"
I wonder if mermaids produce any slime ointment that can be used on that burn?
