It's so, so counter-productive for mermaids. It makes them woefully unprofessional and desperate.

Yes. It really doesn’t look like the action of a responsible charity, above reproach, does it ?
Frankly creepy and disgusting.

Has this link been posted? It's about Ethan, the young person featured in the advert and is the usual kind of back story. Tomboy, internet use, same sex attracted, unhappy at school, parent wanting them to be more girly by wearing dresses, LGBTQ group, Mermaids.

And if you are reading Ethan I am not trying to mock or denigrate your experience, it's just that it sounds very similar to my childhood and that of many others I know who have grown into happy, healthy adults without needing to transition.

“i can definitely say without mermaids, i wouldn’t be at the stage I am today “ .....

“i can definitely say without mermaids, i wouldn’t be at the stage I am today “ .....

That's a sentence that takes on an entirely different meaning when it's the wrong side of history 🙄

SirVixofVixHall · 10/10/2019 22:14

Yes. My thoughts too.

CiN do fund Mermaids.

As do Big Lottery (as your googling confirmed).

This ad is appearing all over the place for me.

SirVixofVixHall · 11/10/2019 22:23

Hmm, have they somehow linked it to searches via cookies ?
