“Symptoms of gender dysphoria” a mermaids tweet.

[NellieEllie]

I find this truly disgusting. This is a list of emotions that many teenagers feel. The ref to ASD and mental health issues is appalling.

Are you a government department that consults Mermaids and considers it to be a key stakeholder?

Are you an organisation, public broadcaster, magazine, local council etc that directs readers and listeners to Mermaids for further information and assistance?

If so, can you explain why?

To me it resembles nothing so much as a 19th century ad for patent medicine: "We guarantee our TRANSITION Snake Oil Potion cures rheumatism, lumbago, palpitations, anemia, dizziness, asthma, fainting spells and consumption! Sixpence a bottle."

And it seems to have just as much medical validity...
