This is already running on two threads

Totickleamockingbird · 12/08/2020 19:00

Thanks for posting this. I have asked on the other thread. It looks quite confusing at the moment.

@Glinner thanks! I’ve been a bit mystified too to be honest! Loved all your shows btw!

Thank you. I have been keeping an eye on the other threads but wanted to say I only recently found your interviews and have been enjoying them immensely. I wondered what you were up to after your twitter exile... following what was happening to you with SH's ego trip hounding you to court was one of the first things that made me aware how much transition the TRAs had gained.

I'm confused, because Stonewall is clearlyy still mentioning Mermaids if you search for it, mabye Mr Glinner is confused about that?

Isn't sunlight wonderful Graham? Thank you for what you do for children and keeping women's spaces male free.

Stonewall and Mermaids are both trans lobby groups, Pumpkin, so they back each other up. The interesting news is that big organisations like the NHS and BBC are backing away from them.

There are old blog posts that talk about Mermaids, but Stonewall's dedicated Mermaids page looks like this: www.stonewall.org.uk/organisations/mermaids

Mermaids is trending very high on Twitter tonight, after a Times article tells how the high court banned Mermaids from contact with a family who followed their advice and forced a boy to live as a girl.

Still looking for a share token.

Thanks Graham.

WhoWants2Know · 13/08/2020 03:32

Actually, that may have been an old article. But it looks like Stonewall have possibly removed links to Mermaids as well.

The Baronness has her own views and she is definitely right about the fear.

The NHS still link to them and recommend them.

There's a link from this page to a site called 'Tranzwiki', which is part of GIRES. From that page is a link to Mermaids.

According to the NHS, "The charities listed in the TranzWiki are there to help you".

As above.

You can count me as a sycophant too, Skyliner001!!

Big fan, Glinner. Huge.

That's an interesting piece rabbit but I'm not too sure everyone is deleting with the vigour he implies. However, we live in hope.
