Hello I've nc'd for this as it's outing and sensitive.

My local Autism support group has recently aligned itself to Mermaids, their logos are everywhere. I was surprised to see that the support group is now taking advice from Mermaids. There are families on their books who have very vulnerable teens with ASD & Gender Dysphoria. I'm uncomfortable that this v vulnerable group will now be pushed down an ideological & surgical path.

How do I get the group to reconsider their allegiance? Any links to articles, info and stats will be most welcome. I remember another group being recommended as a balance against Mermaids but I can't remember their name. I have to be v careful how I word my email to get my points across & not cause offence. Thanks.

Ugh that's awful I'm sorry.

The Bayswater group could help, also Gender, a wider lens, being run by Stella OMalley and others.

Transgender trend although they may get smeared for transphobia.

There was a good piece on asd recently actually.
