Mermaids being investigated by the charity commission

[MajorieEks]

“hoisted by their own petard” never seemed more apt, if true

Agreed. We simply clarify that just as breast ironing a girl's breasts is a safeguarding issue, so is breast binding. And then all the creepy adults facilitating this in Mermaids, Lush, all the adult queer theory groups etc can get a visit from the police who can consider whether it's a criminal offence to aid and abet mutilating other people's children.

Yes. Behind their backs and against their expressly stated wishes.

These people have truly abandoned all sense of decency, along with reality.

Thanks, Clark nails it:

Gender-affirming care is a scam that keeps second-rate researchers and corrupt LGBTQ+ organisations in business. To keep this disgusting show on the road thousands of kids are being gaslit so they willingly offer up their bodies to go under the knife. It's a global disgrace.

Absolutely!

That's absolutely astonishing.

I can't really just paste the text as the screenshots need to be seen.

I always want to scream when I see mermaids statements banging on abkut gender diverse children.

Children should be gender diverse. What do they want? Mindless zombified clones of children? Its not enough to have already got your claws into distressed dysphoric children now you want to recruit those who don't conform to your gi Joe /barbie stereotypes and make them.feel there's something wrong there too? Ffs

I keep waiting for the day when the battle against this ideology can’t possibly get any worse. Not today.

I didn’t think we’d ever see anything quite as egregious as the NSPCC rubberman piss fetishist wanking in his work toilet and uploading the accurately captioned footage to the internet (porn profile found by following the trail of links from his professional Linked-In account) …

And just like that, Mermaids completely eclipsed all the fuckery at the NSPCC by actively recruiting an academic with a specialist interest in ‘the queer life of children’s desires’ and expertise in ‘pornography’ as a TRUSTEE!

Okay, I remember this clown, and the stuff surrounding him.

Do we have definite confirmation he's become associated with Mermaids though? Not seeing a proper reference.

Seems too bad to be true.

Okay, no, there he is:

Thread on a Mermaids trustee

The subtext is rapidly becoming text.

Jacob Breslow appears there. Not Mat Thompson, the knife-to-women's-throat guy - the thread says he's 'connected' to him, as a student?

I see they have a Mx on the roll there. Funny how the only other people with a title are ‘Dr’ (of what I cannot guess). How tiresome.

No, it's not quite that bad. But I do remember those pieces on Breslow.

Interesting list of funders...

And half those trustees are new eh?

Not surprising really, you'd have to be completely devoted to the ×××× to sign yourself up for that....

Trying again....

Who the fuck thought ‘oh yea, academic known for writing about dodgy sex stuff and the queering of childhood? - Perfect for trustee of a charity working with vulnerable kids and teens!’

At least Rubberwankman didn’t list his hobbies directly on his CV!

or at least, I hope he didn’t.

Shocking - as is the 4W article the tweets link to: 4w.pub/childhood-studies-safeguarding/

Dr Jacob Breslow seems to fall into the ‘well dodgy’ category based on that thread

one of the chapters in his book is entitled ‘desiring the child’. It it he looks at a child performing sexually explicit dance moves and finds himself ‘caught up in exhilarating waves of memory, identification and desire: a wish’

and now he’s trustee of a children’s charity

i’m not sure there’s an expletive that covers this

Oops, that was the wrong 4W link: 4w.pub/lecturer-claims-children-perverse/

And he works in a university gaslighting young people there and promoting his dangerous views about children. 😡

Who the fuck thought ‘oh yea, academic known for writing about dodgy sex stuff and the queering of childhood? - Perfect for trustee of a charity working with vulnerable kids and teens!’

I suspect that his anti-T*RF credentials outweighed any safeguarding concerns.

It depends what Mermaids aims are doesn’t it?

if the aims were something like keeping gender questioning children safe and making sure they have the best possible long term outcomes, then he’d obviously be a ‘hell no’

So the Chair is the longest standing trustee, and she was appointed in 2019. Half the rest were appointed last year and the others in July this year. That looks surprising to me, and also worrying. Wouldn't it be more usual for people to come and go at different times, and for a charity that's been around for a long time now to have some old hands still involved? I seem to recall there was a point, maybe two or three years ago, when quite suddenly Mermaids was down to about two or three Trustees. Nobody seemed to blink an eye about that either.

Don't the people making these massive grants to Mermaids do any due diligence?

The Chair is the woman who gave evidence against LGB Alliance, yes?
