https://twitter.com/BluskyeAllison/status/1299448309472468998 Allison Bailey talks about it

adult concerns about trans activism cannot conceivably be a risk to children‘s mental health, such as to cause suicidal feelings, unless they are being manipulated by the adults around them, planting & then reinforcing that message.

if an adult parent used & maniuplated a child in this way, social services would be called immediately. No organisation tasked with caring for children should be allowed to deploy suicide in such a nakedly offensive way. This is an emergency. This cannot be ignored.

Suicide is very socially contagious. It's extremely dangerous to push the narrative that 1) that the only choice is to transition or live a miserable life on the brink of suicide because you're not the gender you were "supposed" to be and 2) that suicide is an expected result when somebody critiques the trans movement.

Mermaids are being extremely irresponsible and are transducing a narrative that's extremely harmful to children, young people and other vulnerable populations.
