So that's why Susie Green left

By proper kindness, I mean the truth about changing sex

Popcorn for the corporate and celebrity squirming . Head in hands for the number of kids and their families messed up by the dreadful lack of proper kindness

Frankly, it's a toss up for me.

I can't be the only one who hopes Bell sees fit to consult the author of the leading book in this area of law, RMW.

In fairness to the bbc they weren't responsible for Butterflies...

Bandwagon passed a while back. They've all cambered on another.

The bbc report also interestingly described Mermaids a s a charity that “aims to help transgender children”< not that does.

If I was Belinda Bell I would be picking my lawyer very carefully.
Thank you all for posting links.

Watching these rats - these corporates, the TV producers with the their rainbow washed specials, the celebs like Watson and Radcliffe, orgs like Girl Guiding, and the "journalists" that have refused to apply any critical thinking skills to MM (BBC the worst) - flee the sinking ship will be edifying. But they must not be let off the hook. This all happened on their watch and with their complicity, while they betrayed girls, women and mothers and allowed them to be abused and screamed at and branded as bigots.

No they mustn't be let off the hook, they must be forced to face what they bought into, promoted and supported and what they did and said to those who raised concerns.

I'll say it again a full Public Enquiry is needed here.

I decided this morning not to dick about on MN today so totally missed this! That's me learnt!

The parallel with Kids Company that I think that will come out, is the unthinking corporate bandwagoning of whatever the IT charity of the day is, preferably one lauded by celebs, liberal politicians and lickspittal journalists. I remember the managing partner of my firm was desperate to climb on the KC wagon whilst having not one clue what they stood for - and certainly not giving a fuck about poor kids of colour and their lives. It was all for image. They all scattered when the shit hit the fan.

... well. Are all those people who signed the anti- Suzanne Moore letter going to walk now?

They are backing away and the denials they supported them will be coming along soon, unfortunately for them the internet never forgets and people have collected the receipts.

We are definitely going to be treated to we didn't know/weren't aware/if we had known shit coming from some celebrity quarters soon.

What I notice about the Mermaids statement tweet, is how little traction it’s getting. Very few likes and I would put good money on a percentage of few quote tweets being critical.

Have all the TRAs and their Handmaids realised the jig is up?

IcaketherforeIam the tweet you shared sums up the whole hideous state of affairs, very sad and poignant.

That's true.

SG wouldn't be welcome there, the Thailand Government changed their laws regarding SRS on the back of what SG did to her child in their country.

The wording is indeed interesting: the safeguarding disasters were bad enough (ONE of them would have been bad enough) but it sounds like much more and much more fundamentally concerning things, have been discovered.

That struck me too. The stuff already in the public domain is awful. But it sounds like there’s even worse to come to light.

It would be good if we (as a society) could learn how important it is to interrogate the things we assume must be good. So much is covered up by fig leaves people are scared to challenge (because they’ll be torn down as a transphobe or far right stooge or whatever).

Yup, that's my assessment too. They have no defence. No explanation. Nowhere to run

Hope the cat ones are good today then.

And thank you for the exceptionally quick response.

Ooft. That really lays it all bare. There's a reckoning due & I expect it to be fully inclusive of everything & everyone. No exceptions.

Total silence.

We need your tra/cat video data with regards the latest mermaids news

How's it looking

Of course not! Because the one group of people you can rely on to do the right thing is sex offenders. Any fule no that.
