So, that's nice.

If I could swish my hair I'd celebrate with Munro, but, I am a common-or-garden type of woman who's too busy doing stuff to work on my femininity.

Oh! 😂 I have been defending Munroe as well on this, but I see that the word 'integrity' is not one Munroe is familiar with!

Like others have said, I guess the draw of attention and money is just too much for Munroe's principles!

happydappy2 · 10/06/2020 11:11

Hmmmm, I think Mermaids will be shut down extremely soon which will leave L’Oréal very red faced. MB is no friend to women, if L’Oréal think we’ll buy products they promote in this way, they are very mistaken.

Enderthedragon · 10/06/2020 11:11

I assume that first on Munroe's list of things to do in this 'new relationship' will be to get Loreal to stop selling skin whitening products?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/06/2020 11:16

Goodness what is a Mermaid's 'gender'?

It's just Mermaids

Perhaps the real mermaids are suing them for copyright 🧜‍♀️

Oh, undoubtedly.

Check out the comments on this YouTube clip from Suzy Green talking on Talk Radio yesterday. Overwhelmingly negative. Can't see any in support.

SunsetBeetch · 10/06/2020 11:26

I think 'Mermaids Gender' is their twitter handle?

TooSadToSay · 10/06/2020 11:31

Whaaaat? How can she justify working for them again after all the hoo-ha? Handing over 50k is hardly changing the culture of the company.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/06/2020 11:32

Yes it is, but the name of the organisation is Mermaids. Not "Mermaids Gender".

crumpet · 10/06/2020 11:37

Mermaids is fine - any merman can identify as a mermaid, so it’s all good.

SunsetBeetch · 10/06/2020 12:30

That Talk Radio discussion was great. SG did not come across well. I was at times annoyed and at other times laughed out loud.

BaronessFloralBunting · 10/06/2020 12:35

The use of 'mermaids gender' by the L'Oreal spokesperson is an indication that the company have only done a cursory looksee at the info MB has supplied, presumably in a rider about what they would need to do to appease MB so that they can stop the bad publicity. They've probably just read the Twitter handle, and nothing more.

I do hope that's going to bite them squarely on the arse soonest.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 10/06/2020 12:38

Are any of the people who set up Mermaids trans?

SunsetBeetch sunlight on this issue is all that is needed. Nobody in the comments is buying it at all.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 10/06/2020 12:45

I like Susie Greens idea of 'biological existentialism '. We could start a whole philosophy.

SunsetBeetch · 10/06/2020 12:48

Exactly, Baroness

And yes indeed Campervan. Outside the weird woke bubble of twitter, nobody does.

SunsetBeetch · 10/06/2020 13:05

Also I love how this always goes

Susie Green didn't set up Mermaids originally. Does anyone know who did?

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 10/06/2020 15:48

No, can't find that info. I think it's changed hugely from its original founding, though?

'Formed in 1995 by a group of parents brought together by their children’s longstanding gender incongruence, '

The CC website doesn't give very much info, either:

'CIO - FOUNDATION REGISTERED 20 FEB 2015 AMENDED ON 21 SEP 2016'

wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 10/06/2020 15:52

I'm shocked, I tell you.

StrangeLookingParasite · 10/06/2020 16:13

The LIES Susie Green says in that interview "No transwoman would ever attack a woman" Jesus wept, how many examples do you need.

FFS.

Lying hound.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 10/06/2020 16:15

They is the wrong type of trans, though, Strange.

Not brave and stunning ones at all.

Proper trans people are ok.

I did like his response which was a polite "so, how can we tell the difference?"

I'd love to hear what the Duke of Edinburgh would say about all this.
