Stonewall drop Mermaids?

[ScrimpshawTheSecond]

Seems Stonewall used to direct young people to Mermaids. But the link has been removed from the page?:

www.stonewall.org.uk/help-advice/coming-out/coming-out-young-person

And the page that used to be on there appears to be blank:

www.stonewall.org.uk/organisations/mermaids

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, y'all.

I would suggest that people who know how to do it start archiving pages supporting this organisation.

They will be needed.

and I can't remember how to do it no matter how many times I am told

Holy moly. Somethings a brewing!

Archive.is

Then copy& paste the web address from the search bar.

WTF
🍾

Are the wheels finally coming off the wagon? It's about time.

Kids Company all over again, I reckon.

Thanks, Melroses. It really sounds very straightforward. I can do this! What needs archived?

BBC? Already been cleaned, hasn't it.

Government departments?

NHS?

That is really significant. They must know something we don’t (I mean they presumably already knew what we know which you would have hoped would be bad enough).

Did they not put in the complaint about the BBC dropping Mermaids or am I confused?

This archiving website is easy to use but might not be available in the long term:

archive.fo/

This is a much better long term bet but attempts to archive a webpage often fails:

web.archive.org/

Usage is straightforward. Copy the address of the "target" webpage you want to save, open the archiving website, paste the address, and if an archived webpage is generated you'll be given a specific address that will link to the archived webpage, and can be used in the future even if the "target" webpage has been deleted.

Jesus your right!

Yep I think a lot of ‘no that never happened’ and deletion of pages ect.. are going to happen!

🥳🥳🥳

There is still a link here

www.stonewall.org.uk/about-us/news/lgbt-inclusive-organisations-you-should-know-about

Still numerous mentions when you search though. These might be worth archiving:

They still promote Gendered Intelligence.

I reckon Mermaids, having been useful being run by a mother, is being thrown to the wolves to protect the greater infrastructure

What I don't get is why its happening now, when the awful IT breach last year barely raised a whisper. Plus, for years we've been trying to raise awareness of their promotion of suspended doctors and drugs for children.

Is it because there's a domino effect of people not wanting to be the last ones standing when everyone leaves, or is there something new that we don't yet know about?

They are too far down the rabbit hole to back away now. Must be an error.

I know - such a earworm

Still a link on their organisations to know about page.

I think I've archived that page, Doyou.

Hopefully that works?

Why is this happening all of a sudden? Who (that is being listened to, since women are ignored) is spreading the word that is making everyone act?

Gosh, I’d love to know!!!!!!! Feels like something’s brewing.

I found this on Instagram - I think the relevant pages have been deleted. A 'two-spirit' person 'calling out' Mermaids for - well, who knows. God knows if it's relevant. Mermaids really don't seem to be doing very well right now - pissing people off left right & centre.

That is one crazy instagram post.

Hmmm I do hope this is a deliberate attempt to distance and step away from the madness!
