My three year old niece would, when she was two, answer the question “are you a girl or a boy” by exclaiming that she was “a boy”.

My sister, her mother, would laugh (which may well be why my niece would say boy) and say “no, you’re a little girl”.

My niece happily acknowledges that she’s a girl now when asked the question. It makes me shudder to think that other children may have been put a course of lifelong misery because they either didn’t understand a question asked of them when 2 or deliberately gave the wrong answer to make people laugh.

Do clinicians faced with an anorexic/bulimic child affirm the child's sincerely held views that they are fat? Do they offer appetite suppressants and arrange stomach stapling operations? Do clinicians when faced with children who slash themselves offer the more efficient knives? I think not. Gender reassessment of confused, unhappy children with mental issues will be regarded by future generations as wicked as full-frontal lobotomies (often carried out as miracle cures with the consent of the victims and their families).

So this is what it has come to: lesbians openly weeping at the idea they have to explain this shit again.

'I want to walk you through the process...'.

We know the 'process'. You mutilated and trans'd your child. Frankenstein's monster!

Thank you. It's Mermaids in this current form that needs to have its charity status removed. How much organisational history have they scraped? Somewhere kicking around at the back of my mind was the 'old Mermaids' then this incarnation of 'new Mermaids' and I hadn't realised they were one and the same. Can we tie 'affirmation only' to a particular point in time, person, and to Susie herself? How that 'small proportion' was boosted to large numbers, a growth of 3000% or 4000% in young girls/Mermen and the concomitant growth in Susie's personal income, 'new Mermaids' raking in nearly a million a year in 'donations' then spreading this in 'training' to ensure further business 'growth' and secure her fat pension.

They are growing and encouraging 'dysphoria' and confusion and labelling all that 'gender dysphoria'. Not 'saving lives' or 'preventative health care'. Where is the evidence for those claims? We have robust figures for other health outcomes yet Mermaids are allowed to make theirs up. I want data, not the telling us how many people they've exposed to propaganda in government and education.

I'd like a further response from the NHS and HEE following her cancellation of that conference earlier this year. How she refused to appear on that panel and managed to cancel all that CPD in one fell swoop. They, 'trans staff' and embedded activists are misusing internal NHS whistleblowing processes and making patently false claims that listening to others and not harming children makes them 'feel unsafe'.

These are the homophobes and the people reinforcing gender stereotypes, this opening the door to even more people wanting to transition themselves and their children. Sickening. And do important to get information like this ( thanks Graham) out there

There is a direct line from Mermaid's destructive 'gender' agenda to Kate Harris in tears having to defend a lesbian's right to self-definition. I'm sure her tears were tears of frustration and anger that the insanity had reached the level of a woman having to clarify in court exactly what is a lesbian. Michael Gibbon KC, counsel for Mermaids

later apologised if he had “raised something inadvertently upsetting”. Inadvertently upsetting? How much more could he possibly minimize his insane undertaking of defending Mermaids' contention that a man can be a lesbian woman?

The course of autism in girls is documented to include discomfort with the developing female reproductive organs during puberty. Many of us recall waking up to breasts, suddenly one morning, as if the little (or big!) mounds had been plopped on our chests by the visiting (not tooth, but puberty!) fairy in the night. We are unprepared for the male attention we suddenly receive. Why isn't this studied, why don't we have more books and films and HELP for adolescent girls?

Susie Green's misinterpretation of her young son's play is beyond stupid. Was it Barbie dolls? Was he fascinated with the over-sexualized doll's profile? She has no idea what he was playing at, and where oh, where is that father today? His relationship with his son (and wife) were obviously messed up.

I'll try to post the 2019 study of autistic girls by the 3 Polish doctors on my blog today. I taught children on the spectrum for 13 years. There are many, many strategies to work on the over-sensitivities and emotional challenges. As a special educator, I am outraged at the coercive exploitation of children with special needs or even "quirks." These Greens will live forever in my personal version of Hell.

Thanks and you're so very right on how Mermaids has changed.

Susie Green just loves being on that stage. She's so smug, wallowing in it.

Not about Mermaids, but the new WPATH guidelines are out.

The Guardian article reports the loaded questions put to Eileen Gallagher, LGBA Chair of Trustees, but none of her answers.

Not biased in the slightest!

Off topic but relevant.

If anyone hasn't seen it yet, the Tucker Carlson documentary 'Transgressive the cult' can be seen for free on this link

https://www.bitchute.com/video/JqGmAFdut7lT/

Whilst it veers into religion at the end, it's a good overview of the whole issue re harm to children so it's good for peaking anyone you know is wavering.

I never thought I'd be recommending anything by a darling of Fox News but we live in strange times!

Cult. It's a cult.

This stuff is so insane and so grotesque that it cannot stay confined to this substack. When the stories of these other 1000 damaged kids come out in court, the story of Suzie Green will come out with them.

A woman (who'd worked in IT for the Citizens' Advice Bureau), has her son castrated because her throwback husband didn't like the toys he played with, and she ends up influencing parents of vulnerable kids to have them pharmaceutically and surgically mutilated. Oh and she admits it all in a prestigious and widely-publicised lecture and nobody objects. This is by far the biggest medical scandal in decades and they'll be trying to fathom how it happened for a very long time.
