Change of CEO at mermaids…

You’re right @Boiledbeetle have you been doing the same research? We can do peer reviews. 😂😂😂

Let me guess, pink aura = women's, beige = women's blue = women's

And I don't know if your research showed the same results as mine but I found one drop of cat nip mixed with 10000000000000 million drops of water had me praising the bathroom ducks as I gloried in my middle aged spinster euphoria last Tuesday.

Although I may have tainted the experiment by having a rather large joint beforehand.

Released late on a Friday to try to minimise it. Can't blame them!

Maybe they know something's afoot? Got to reverse that ferret.

As to SG: oh dear, what shame...

Oh I will. Just off to use the right Twitter buzzwords to make sure I’m in the public eye. BRB. My article on knowing how peoples auras are a true signifier in which bathroom they use and the role of homeopathy on gender euphoria will be out next week.

Didn't someone, on a thread somewhere, once post the early, original mermaid approach - pre Susie Green. If anyone still has that it would be great to look at it again? It was much as you described Ben, as I recall it

Yes, noticeable they seem to have been the first media outlet to report on this?

I hope so. With every bone in my body.

@Happylittlechicken the jobs yours, I just know it, but better safe then sorry so make sure the correct articles come up in the top few searches as you know if it's sixth on the page they'll miss it.I

They don't just know it in the ovaries you know recent research shows they know it since that female they reside in was just a twinkle in her daddies eye.

I agree entirely. There are young people who need support not stereotypes and binders.

Maybe we could all do a job share 🤔

Wouldn’t it be great if this meant Mermaids could get back to being a truly supportive charity for gender questioning and non-conforming children? A charity that advocated for watchful waiting, therapy to explore other possible root causes, and which was clear that sex is immutable. A charity which encouraged young people to smash gender stereotypes, not reinforce them.

Unfortunately I think there is so much shit still to hit the fan here that it’s unlikely the people with the knowledge and strength to turn the Mermaids ship around would be attracted to the challenge. As PPs have said, could it be more of a poisoned chalice?

I will be listening to Radio 4 Today programme tomorrow how it is going to be reported. Justin Webb and Nick Robinson are GC, for sure.

Little Owen’s head must’ve exploded - those articles are LITERAL VIOLENCE

Of course. They’re all on my Instagram under my real name. I’ve also done talks on how medicalising children is the only way to save their souls and that eggs in the ovaries know their gender.

This didn't age well

Bloody hell - what do the Guardian know!! That is a real departure for them.

Interesting that the Guardian has even commented - they normally draw a veil over all the safeguarding outrages. And it's Amelia Gentleman who wrote the gentle article about the numbers of girls thinking that they're boys as they hit puberty. So that's 2 articles in the Guardian this week that don't fly the trans flag.

@Happylittlechicken I presume you have the requisite published online for all to see pornographic photos of you as demiboy grey sexual furry available to any 12 year old with an internet connection who care to search for you. And that you have joined the eunuchs UK chatroom in your known name of chi chi grey fursquiggle

'intense public scrutiny' from.....who exactly? eh? eh?

The article in the guardians a bit different from the last one….

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Brilliant!

In recent months, the charity has found itself under intense public scrutiny, partly as a result of Mermaids’ own decision to launch an appeal against the Charity Commission’s awarding of charitable status to LGB Alliance, which has been critical of “gender ideology’’. It is understood to be the first time one charity has attempted to strip legal status from another.

No shit Sherlock.

It's going to be interesting to see which way they go with the interim and then the new CEO.

Do they choose someone more impartial?

Do they choose a transperson? And if so will they have internal arguments as to wether it's a transman or a transwomen. Should it be someone who knew from the second they were conceived what their gender was or someone who settled in their new gender at 55 after a high flying career in IT? Should it be a trans person who requires a support dog and support human?

Do they go full board the other way and hire Maya or JKR?

It's going to be fascinating watching this in the coming weeks and months.

Interesting note, I just tried to read the statement on Mermaids website but our BT Parental Controls have blocked the site! TERFS in the IT Department at BT? 😜
