@ThisIsMyGCname Balenciaga did a photoshoot involving young children posing with what can only be described as teddies in bondage gear. They’ve “apologised”.

Thanks @CaveMum .

I hope the child realises what has been done to him and gets whatever help he needs.

Her child is an adult in their mid 20s now I believe, with no association with MM. Let's leave them out of this - they have a very very low profile on SM as it is.

A steady hand is needed to steer the Good Ship Mermaids out of choppy waters before it completely founders.

Cometh the hour, cometh the woman

Step forward...

I hope that Stonewall et Al have started to realise, post Cass, that interfering with children (and I recognise the nuance) is not a good look. Perhaps Mermaids have outlived their usefulness. It was alway mad that organisations such as the FCA picked Mermaids as a corporate charity. It started off, pre-Susie, as a parent support group for parents whose children had a relatively rare gender dysphoria, and where the approach was ‘watchful waiting’.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 25/11/2022 21:43

I predict that Mermaids will fold within 12 months

Baaaaaa · 25/11/2022 21:38

Oh... mimmymum and suzie green are not the same person.

I'm getting my zealots confused.

I wish there was some means of compensating Jackie - and the other victims.

Suing the mother for personal injury, procuring bodily harm through puberty blockers, followed by a coercive operation in a foreign country, where the child could not reasonably have been a consenting party.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 25/11/2022 21:36

Whatever my personal views on Susie Green and her behaviour - her child deserves privacy and dignity and I do hope that they are OK.

Happylittlechicken · 25/11/2022 21:35

Maybe Jackie Green is realising, like Jazz Jennings, just how much this has blighted his life. jazz is on record as admitting he’s never had an orgasm or even dated anyone seriously. He’s starting to realise he’ll never have a romantic life, the drugs he’s on have caused him to gain weight exponentially and as he ages, he looks more masculine. These poor poor kids.

Yes. Green has obviously been aided by various people with more nous and power than she has herself.

Agree entirely. Mimmymum is a foot soldier, not a general. It's still great news. The mermaid edifice is crumbling.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 25/11/2022 21:32

I'm sure she'd be great - look at her credentials - taking a trans woman to court for transphobia (and losing spectacularly).

I may have mentioned that to Mimmymum on twitter once or twice 😂

SapphosRock · 25/11/2022 21:31

Omg this is massive!

Just had a look at the trustees and they seem to be fairly new. Bobbi Pickard must have left.

I also hope her kid is okay.

ResisterRex · 25/11/2022 21:27

Forgot - I do wonder what happens if you use that word over in the Dog House board!!!

I hope her kid's okay.

Me too. After being paraded all over the media a few years ago, Jackie went very quiet a couple of years ago. I wish Jackie all the best. It can’t have been easy having their private life discussed so publicly.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 25/11/2022 21:27

I hope the child realises what has been done to him and gets whatever help he needs.

ResisterRex · 25/11/2022 21:27

There's been speculation that word is an auto-delete. I think I used it when I copied a paragraph of text from the Telegraph.

If that's the case, it's a rule that should be revisited regardless of tonight's developments. Because it's pandering to people no one should be pandering to.

Very good point, especially in light of deleting their tweets. I think the woman’s actions are utterly reprehensible but her child is an innocent in all this.

The “something is going to happen” is clearly speculation but it seems significant if J Green’s tweets have been deleted

I wonder what’s going on? I suppose it’ll come out in the next few day

GrabbyGabby · 25/11/2022 19:43

Wow, so i was deleted for using the correct medical terminology for what Susie Green did to her child on their 16th birthday.

Slightly behind the times there MNHQ

Many, many women have had deletions, strikes and bans for criticism Green.

Depending on how this situation shakes out, The Eyes that lurk and report us to MNHQ might find they’s controlling power somewhat diminished.

i wonder if Miriam Cates’ parliamentary question re: a police investigation into Mermaids has now been actioned?

This.

Abhannmor · 25/11/2022 21:21

I disagree that she is unemployable. She could handle social media for the Iranian government.

dropthevipers · 25/11/2022 20:47

Green is unemployable (bar shelf stacking at tescos, and wouldn't be to hopeful about that either). Think we can expect to read a "where are they now?" article in 5 years about her new career drinking meths under a bridge.

Show quote history

Don’t be harsh, she can fall back on her IT skills and knowledge of data secur- oh shit.

Meths under the bridge it is then.

BreadInCaptivity · 25/11/2022 19:14

I'm interested in who they will appoint.

Quite frankly who the hell would want this poisoned chalice?

A certain fox murdering kimono fetishist?
