Children In Need and Mermaids

[PerverseConverse]

Can anyone tell me more about CIN and Mermaids please? As in do CIN give money to them? I'm sure I've read somewhere that they do in which case I do not want to support CIN and will give to individual children's charities that aren't involved in the trans agenda instead.

I don’t understand why they cut the donation to the rape crisis place when it was only £35,000. Surely, they could have just taken that from the mermaids donation? It wouldn’t make much different for them to have £90,000 instead. I mean, I’m sure there are much less trans children compared to women and girls that are raped.

Because it doesn't include men. That's the bottom line. And bite little boys in a tutu and lippy are more photogenic than a woman whose been raped and had seven bells knocked out of her.

Bite? That should have been cute!

If you add up the amount of money raised for charity by dress up days I am sure it is much less than the amount of money spent on dressing up.

Ironic when there was barely a news room in the 90's that didn't know about the "Asian" sexual grooming gangs raping thousands of girls across the country but chose to not cover it.

Upper primary children in ( what seems like) trans heartland.
Mine too!
Well, one of them- the other in lower secondary.
My intention had been to not let them know my GC views, but it's been impossible not to let them out!
And I'm glad I have.
Neither of my kids has encountered the transgender trend yet but I feel it's only a matter of time and at least they'll be forearmed with information (though I realise that peer pressure can be far more intoxicating than parental approval)
and I absolutely do not want anything to go to Mermaids!!

There must be more than one heartland shimmy, I don’t think a secondary school age child could miss the trans thing round here. Sigh.

oh blimey, Golden- even the younger ones?
I do know of a non-binary group of kids- who would previously have been called girls/females!- at my son's school, but my son is blissfully ignorant of this older group
We're in West Yorkshire- possibly not the best place for the gender critical

Two trans teenagers on my street! Ones a girl now and the other is a boy now. The secondary schools are so woke it hurts.

Coming from good northern scum stock myself I can imagine

oh crikey- scary stuff!
i'm in leeds- i don't think that's particularly outing!
but it's home to mermaids, mesmac and whole lotta love for trans activism- i expect much of the bullshit is down to southern resettlers!
I'm from the south, so I can say that :)

I wonder if having two trans teens on my street outs ME? I almost hope so.

Yawn. Oh it's getting old hat now. I remember when being a rebel and member of a sub culture shocked the horses - it was a bit edgy.

It's not edgy if you can cry 'it's not fair, stop picking on meeeeee! I'm calling me maw and the polis!'

Sadly I don’t think the teen that’s now a boy feels like that. He looks totally depressed. So very sad.

The one that’s a girl now looks like Barbie and doesn’t seem very down-trodden.

Anyhow. CIN. No letters home about a mufti day so maybe I don’t have a decision to make this year. By next year it will all be sorted ...

I won't be donating to CiN.

I see that £9k went to Swansea YMCA. I know for a fact that this group went into a local comp and did a Trans talk some years ago. I heard from a teaching colleague that they delivered a "girls have penises and boys have vaginas" talk in 2016, with no parental consent sought nor any prior warning.

I've emailed both schools that my children attend to explain my issue with CIN and neither child will be taking part in any fundraising tomorrow.

I’m not sure what I’ll do if it’s a non-uniform compulsory donation though.

Donations are by definition non-compulsory. So your dc can go in non-uniform, and not bring a donation.

In practice, though, if you have sent your child in non-uniform it’s accepted that the quid pro quo is paying a donation. I understand what you mean, but would find it difficult to place my child in an awkward situation. Luckily for me the school isn’t doing anything for CiN at all! This is a relief in its own right after all the spotty clothes and superhero dress up that has been required in previous years!

Schools are turning into a bit of a hot spot for fund raising - my school is in a particularly poor area and I hate it when kids are put on the spot. General gripe for me, this is.

Will there be a Mermaids segment tonight? Each charity usually gets a five minute slot?

I won't be watching.

My child might be the only one not in non uniform today but she knows why and won't be afraid to say it either.

So CIN and CR off my list then. This year we are supporting a local church who are providing Christmas Day food and fellowship for the lonely, disadvantaged etc. Thank goodness they are out in the community just doing good and not encouraging division.

Wow! I have always supported CIN. I had no idea Mermaids were benefitting from the funds.

I wonder why they don't include clips of children wanting hormone blockers and sex change operations as per their clips of children in heart wrenching situations?

I wonder.... 🤔

Now I know Mermaids are benefitting I won't be supporting CIN any longer.

Dc2 had a non clothes day with donations of spare change. So I sent about 50p in.
Dress down at work (£2) too, but I didn’t and annoyingly no-one asked why not!

"Educate and celebrate" also deliver pro trans assemblies in secondary schools - I withdrew my daughter from school for the day and explained why in great detail
