Mermaids sponsored by Starbucks.

And anthrax. And coronavirus germ warfare. And nuclear bombs too.

Oh and stand by for rumours about razor blades under the stickers 🙄

I'm near SOAS so am expecting the rallying call at some point...

I saw some in Central London too this morning, Lordfrontpaw. They brightened my day.

Not heard any screaming sirens yet though.

I've seen some shots of cafes near my office (central London) with the stickers on them (no, it wasn't me).

Now, this is Woke Central so I await the police vehicles to roll up any minute. Possibly a portacabin safe space.

I don't know who made this logo, but I salute them

I am totally shocked by this, because I regard it as open, unashamed, support for child abuse.
This is instruction to schools from an organisation posing as a charity, it is reprehensible.

Unlurking to post info on the photo from Mermaids website posted above. Looks like the kid is posing with 'Scaredy Kat' from Drag Race UK. Suspect it would have been taken at a 'meet and greet' at a Drag Con event. (Not that it makes it any better, thought context may be interesting.)

Here he is in the same outfit:

Under age healthy children.

I'll say it again.
Not mentally unwell.
Not physically unwell.

A physical 'issue' that is aided and abetted by Mermaids.

Not a mental illness.
Not a physical illness.
This is genderism on demand - for under age children.

I'm anti breast binding. Which they have recently said was ok. For a 10 year old.
I will not pretend Mermaids is to Childline what "Help for Heroes" is to the British Legion.

Besides - mermaids doesn’t consider it a mental health issue - more of a physical issue that can be ‘fixed’ with medication and surgery.

So you’re anti a help line for people struggling to come to teens with feeling different and possibly having mental health issues because of it? Odd

No
It's not odd.
The World Health Organisation don't even recognise gender dysphoria as a mental health issue.

Please don't conflate genderists with people who have genuine mental health problems.

Douglas Murray spoke about boycotting Starbucks over this. I think if companies leap aboard a woke bandwagon, then the most effective way to register displeasure is to stop consuming their products. Can't say I was a fan before this, but I am going from rare to zero. Doubt I will be the only one.

That’s very organised - it’s even in corporate colours.

I wonder how many kids they ever tell to wait and see how they feel when they get older - or do they always tell them that they are 100% right and can change gender now and sex later?

They don’t support - they lobby. They go into schools and tell children all sorts of (old fashioned) stereotypical nonsense. They encourage kids to question ‘If I like pink am I a girl then?’ and normalise the medicalisation pathway. They tell
Kids they can change sex - they make it, well ‘sexy’ for want of a better word (also easy and reversible). They endorse a struck off doctor (struck off for writing prescriptions like they were sweeties).

They get ££££ and it’s a business. No transition = no business.

I saw this and turned around and left. Disgusting.

@Strongmummy they don’t advocate for coming to terms with gender dysphoria; they advocate for invasive medical procedures, untested puberty blockers, sterilisation and life long medical problems.

They don’t even hide it, it’s there open agenda.

Strongmummy it's not really helping them to tell them that they might have been born in the wrong body but they can take powerful drugs and have bits of their bodies chopped off to make them better.

So you’re anti a help line for people struggling to come to teens with feeling different and possibly having mental health issues because of it? Odd

The second picture is really upsetting - remove the transgender aspect, children are not sexualised dolls.

I have 3 daughters and I wouldn’t let any of them anywhere near that cos play. It’s not freedom of expression it’s a wet dream fantasy.

DD went though a pink phase. She’d learnt that she was a girl and other children told her that her colour should therefore be pink. By Jennie’s aged 11 she had very much grown out of that. And the huge pastel teddy!!!

Freaky picture. Knowing look from the adult - it's about the adult not the child - why is the child part of their accessories?

The look Rreminds me of those 70s paintings of the children with huge dark eyes.
