Seen in Newcastle today.

You can even get a 'cute' biscuit to dunk in your vat of coffee.

I'm anti breast binding. Which they have recently said was ok. For a 10 year old.
I will not pretend Mermaids is to Childline what "Help for Heroes" is to the British Legion.

A physical 'issue' that is aided and abetted by Mermaids.

Not a mental illness.
Not a physical illness.
This is genderism on demand - for under age children.

Under age healthy children.

I'll say it again.
Not mentally unwell.

Unlurking to post info on the photo from Mermaids website posted above. Looks like the kid is posing with 'Scaredy Kat' from Drag Race UK. Suspect it would have been taken at a 'meet and greet' at a Drag Con event. (Not that it makes it any better, thought context may be interesting.)

Here he is in the same outfit:

I am totally shocked by this, because I regard it as open, unashamed, support for child abuse.
This is instruction to schools from an organisation posing as a charity, it is reprehensible.

I don't know who made this logo, but I salute them

I've seen some shots of cafes near my office (central London) with the stickers on them (no, it wasn't me).

Now, this is Woke Central so I await the police vehicles to roll up any minute. Possibly a portacabin safe space.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/02/2020 13:17

I saw some in Central London too this morning, Lordfrontpaw. They brightened my day.

Not heard any screaming sirens yet though.

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 13:20

I'm near SOAS so am expecting the rallying call at some point...

SunsetBeetch · 26/02/2020 13:26

Oh and stand by for rumours about razor blades under the stickers 🙄

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 13:28

And anthrax. And coronavirus germ warfare. And nuclear bombs too.

Boireannachlaidir · 26/02/2020 13:38

So Starbucks "welcomes you whoever you are, or want to be". What a joke!

FFS its insidious isn't it.

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 13:48

Who needs their coffee anyway - its dreadful.

I saw them around Oxford Circus so sounds like they’re fairly well spread!

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 14:16

I saw one off Cavendish Sq and the other was - where was it again? Somewhere between here and there anyway.

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 17:32

Phew

Not getting these though... pal (that’s a declaration of war where I come from ‘listen... PAL...’) and I don’t eat my friends.

The more the merrier!

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 17:51

I walked past the one at Marble Arch but didn’t spy any. I didn’t see any frankencookies either. It’s a very Arab attended one so I can’t see them going down too well there.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/02/2020 20:45

I’ll watch out again tomorrow.

Lordfrontpaw · 26/02/2020 20:53

Just nip in and use the loos (assuming they aren’t unisex). If you see a woman, blue raincoat, furtively peering at the biscuits and muttering ‘boycott Starbucks’ (but definitely NOT snapping all the frankencookies in half), that’ll be me.

Where, where, where can I buy these stickers?
