Posie: truthcrime harassment continues

3 replies

Pratchet · 06/05/2018 08:42

Susie Green from Mermaids has appealed against the CPS decision not to pursue Posie.

Posie described truthfully what Susie Green did to her child in Thailand at the age of sixteen: surgery involving the removal of genitals, a decision so shocking to the Thai government they raised the age bar for such operations to 18.

A woman is being pursued and harassed for telling the truth. Can we show as much support as possible please.

Hi there - we've posted over here about how to discuss the issue of transing children on Mumsnet. Please do make sure that you're all clear about where the line is in terms of the discussion of individual children's anatomy (absolutely not okay in any circumstances), or discussing the anatomy of children in general in what can appear to be intrusive detail.

@therealposieparker

So we cannot discuss the fact that in Canada children aged 13 are having double mastectomies? ?

Yes, but not in relation to individual children, or when discussed in detail with a view to shockin or jolting others, rather than in the context of a measured factual discussion. In the latter case, it would become intrusive and/or inflammatory if it were repeated several times.

@QueenOfQuacks

Hang on a minute.

If someone has gone on national television and given numerous interviews about their actions regarding their own child, and made public details of their child's anatomy and genitals - why can't the facts that the parent chose to put in the public domain be discussed?

Because we don't think it's right to discuss children's genitals on social media, but unfortunately we can only control what goes on on Mumsnet.
