Trans charity accused of offering chest binders without parental consent

How did we get to this point that people are saying this is brave and cheering it on?

AIBU - to think it's insanity
YABU - it's "lifesaving" and rainbow unicorns

Mermaids need their charity status removed, and no further Govt or Lottery money given. Their hormone & binding advice to very young girls is flawed and potentially life altering. Many of the girls seeking to transition are autistic, it seems to be the new cutting, anorexia cult from previous decades.

With the latest revelations about a certain mermaids trustee, I think the runny brown stuff is hitting the round spiny thing for Mermaids. Either they knew about his activities (which a simple Google search reveals), and didn’t care, or they didn’t even do basic checks on someone who would be working fit a charity working with, according to mermaids, “the most vulnerable and marginalised children”.

Hear hear. And here’s hoping, fervently.

Fantastic!!!

Yup. Did you see Julie Bindel’s response to it…. Awesome!

FrancescaContini · 07/10/2022 06:29

I can’t read the comments but it’s no surprise that Mermaids are now claiming to be victims.

YANBU - they need to be made illegal!
