This is not good. An obvious scam that caters to pedophiles and fetishizes children should not be given charity status.

But then again, I suppose Mermaids got charity status too. The UK is great at defending child abusers, huh?

I am involved with LGB Alliance and meet with them regularly, are you accusing me of being a paedophile?

scam that caters to pedophiles and fetishizes children

I think I already know what the answer will be but, got any proof?

Proof?

I've heard you mention your concerns before about LGB Alliance being overly influenced by radfems, and I'm inclined to agree that that's very concerning. But I don't know of anything they do involving child fetishizing...

He may be referring to the LGB Alliance Iceland article where they made a weird comment coming out as pro-surgery on the bodies (genitalia) of intersex kids, which that plus radfems plus pro-LGB everything is an anthema to our resident Salty Emo Lizard.

But as I’ve said before in my mind they need to drop positions that have nothing to do with LGB or they only hurt their cause and I do wonder where the hell that position came from that it was relayed so casually and randomly like that in an article on LAGN.

Ah gotcha, thank you. That does help clarify, lol.

Totally agree. (*hurt, I'm assuming)

My guess about the intersex position, is that they also made the mistake of assuming "intersex = trans" and were then like, "doing surgeries on kids you think are transgender is bad! Therefore surgeries related to intersex conditions..." must be good...? All right, never mind, I don't know.

Yes *hurt 😝

The more I tried to understand that statement about intersex kids the less it made sense. Like if they’re against unnecessary surgeries on “trans kids” why not the same on intersex kids? They didn’t frame the surgeries as “medically necessary.” Just that it would give them a higher quality of life. Seems a lot like gender ideology logic to me!

Yeah, exactly!! Really strange. I'll be keeping an eye out for that claim if I see it again. Another possible parallel between radfems/TRAs, I guess...
