Mermaids. Munroe Bergdorf. Announced this morning. They’re a walking advertisement for the amazing transformative power of thousands and thousands of pounds of cosmetic surgery. Well done!

Just another bit of evidence for the inevitable enquiry, of how entirely unsuitable SG is to be anywhere near a children’s charity.

Who? Was that the previous pipe smoker of the year?

Before working in the banking sector, [Hannah] commanded a unit of 85 soldiers and is responsible for the recovery, maintenance and repair of a variety of equipment including the Army’s main battle tank.

Action Bunce.

MB has an uncanny nack of attracting publicity. I hope they’ll make a very fruitful partnership in that respect.

Lordfrontpaw · 04/04/2020 19:20

I think it’s a meeting of minds - like attracts like and all that.

Youve got a way with words LadyQP.

Life is full of patterns. Turds too.

LadyQuarantinaPluckington · 04/04/2020 19:10

I don't know why anyone thinks this isn't likely to be a long term proposition. For a start, I'm not quite sure what could possibly make Bergdorf too toxic for an org with the MO of Mermaids. But also, this one of those written in ths stars team ups that gives the observer the same feeling as happening across a real life dog turd that looks exactly like the emoji.

happydappy2 · 04/04/2020 18:55

I''m not sure what's more inappropriate.....Mermaids approaching MB or MB approaching Mermaids-either way this is a terrible decision from a safeguarding point of view, but good in the long run as will show Mermaids have not got a clue about safeguarding children.

Don't forget TRAs want Mermaids to be run by solely trans adults....mostly male inevitably.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 04/04/2020 18:45

Hmmm - ignorant, anti women, anti science, undermine child safeguarding, bully women, advocate for porn and drag queens .... I'd say they're the perfect match.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 04/04/2020 18:11

I know that’s the usual pattern but this is Mermaids. They don’t give a flying fuck about safeguarding or children’s welfare.

Datun · 04/04/2020 17:48

Wait for Bergdorf's inevitable controversial comment, then stand back and wait to be ceremoniously fired.

That's a definite pattern.

Dances · 04/04/2020 17:46

Excellent news

WrathofFaeKIopp · 04/04/2020 17:43

Bergdorf is a player.

WrathofFaeKIopp · 04/04/2020 17:42

Interesting.

If Bergdorfs recent employment history is anything to go by, it looks like Bergdorf won't be staying at Mermaids 'childrens' charity much longer than a week.

Wait for Bergdorf's inevitable controversial comment, then stand back and wait to be ceremoniously fired.

One week then...
Kerching!

MoleSmokes · 04/04/2020 16:52

That was what I thought very interesting too Datun

It is what made me think that the tenure with Mermaids might be short-lived, as Bergdorf seems to have a knack of hitting the self-destruct button asap after being taken up by an organisation and then makes the ensuing shit-storm all about them.

Datun · 04/04/2020 16:18

That was an interesting video MoleSmokes.

If rose of dawn is right, contrary to most people, Monroe's success does not depend upon the longevity of their tenure. In fact, it might depend on its brevity.

Binterested · 04/04/2020 15:51

Good. More sunlight on the inappropriateness of everyone involved in this.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 04/04/2020 15:50

I don’t think MB will change I think mermaids have very low standards

StealthPolarBear · 04/04/2020 15:49

Dangerous organisation takes on dangerous individual.
Lock up your children.

MoleSmokes · 04/04/2020 15:46

This is edge of the seat stuff - the countdown to when Bergdorf goes splat yet again!

For anyone needing a catch-up on previous exploits, this is a good primer by Rose of Dawn:

"Munroe Bergdorf | Pillars of the Community"

"Meet Munroe Bergdorf; a figurehead in the British trans community, who takes professional victimhood to the next level."

WrathofFaeKIopp · 04/04/2020 15:40

Is there anyone in Mermaids with medical training?
No.

Encouraging healthy children into a lifelong dependency on artificial hormones, not to mention surgical castration for boys and double mastectomies for girls.

Mermaids will make sure you will get it.

What the adolescents want
the adolescents get.

R0wantrees · 04/04/2020 15:17

Is it really a childrens charity? Seems like a good fit to me to be honest.

Its a good question.
Neither Munroe Bergdorf or representatives of Mermaids Charity demonstrate an understanding of Safeguarding responsibilities.

Charity Commission:
This section of the Register is the trustees’ summary, in simple terms, of what the charity actually does as opposed to what their legal objects allow them to do:

"MERMAIDS OVERARCHING AIM IS TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE GENDER DIVERSE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BE THEMSELVES AND THRIVE; TO THIS END, OUR GOAL IS TO RELIEVE THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL STRESS OF ALL THOSE AGED 19 YEARS AND UNDER WHO ARE TRANSGENDER, NONBINARY AND GENDER VARIANT, AS WELL AS TO PROMOTE EDUCATION AND AWARENESS."

Hmm
Datun · 04/04/2020 15:02

This is will be interesting. If bergdorf has to speak on behalf of the charity, there will be ample opportunity to ask lots of questions, presumably. Or if there isn't, ample opportunity to ask why there isn't.

The more chances Bergdorf gets to speak in public, the better.

Cos homophobia is a must with trans ideology isnt it?

Perfect for MB
