Some shit is about to come out. They’re getting ahead of it.

Given how shameless Mermaids are it's difficult to think what it could be

They’ve got a neonatal rape dungeon?

Yeah, that would do it!

Well, they'll say THAT.

Much more likely it's "someone can actively prove they are doing everything they say they want to do" and they're about to find out "no, even the people on your side barely accept it when you hint you want pedophilia to be okay with some specific examples, but if it can actually be proven you are engaging in pedophilia every person who still has a soul will be right there to send your ass to the woodchipper."

Possibly some abuse shit? If it's a fetish to the people involved, and they work with kids who are on that path.... Well.

But the pseudo voluntary sterilisation and tit removal of questioning children is probably the biggest issue.

There's definitely some weird shit going on. Between tweets being deleted, them not even having a replacement lined up (or even an interim until they can find a more permanent replacement) and the well wishes from the usual suspects not being forthcoming.

Apparently her son has also deleted a whole bunch of previous tweets from his account. Here's hoping he's realised what was done to him and is about to go public

Yeah, that would be devastating to The Cause!

Is that the poor kid she flew to Thailand to have castrated or something? Wouldn't that be absolutely amazing if he realized he was abused and mutilated and turned on his mother.

Yep, puberty blockers at 11, castration at 16. And then she had the audacity to laugh on camera about how the puberty blockers didn't leave the surgeon with enough to work with. Vile woman

Wait, what. That's horrifying. What's her deal? Munchausens by proxy?

Proto Kai Shappley. Husband objected to his son playing with dolls, she feared he was gay and they went down the route of having a straight "daughter" rather than a gay son. I'm convinced she's only taken the route she has to assuage her guilt over castrating her own son. One castrated gay man is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic

Ah, the middle eastern approach. I'll be very curious to hear what he has to say once he gets the courage.

Saw this on Graham Linehan's substack. The terse wording has made people suspect Susie Green was forced out. After all, the charity was relatively sane before the child-castrator took the reigns.

Mermaids has been heavily criticized for being influential over the Tavistock's treatment (or lack thereof) of dysphoric youth, as well relationships with sketchy 'doctors' prescribing illegal hormones to underage kids.

They weren't though. This is a myth that seems to have creeped in over the years. The fact is Mermaids have always had a close relationship to the Tavistock and the man who set them up was also influential in setting up GIDS at the Tavistock.

There was no explanation of what triggered the unexpected announcement.

My guess: expect a report soon that there are pics of this guy with his 'girldick' shoved up some child's butthole.

She's gone rogue, as a merman...

OK the gloves are off it seems. Good. The dam is breaking. Also lol at them going after LGB alliance.

Glinner talks about the news regarding Susie Green, including rumours as to why it is happening.. Sounds very much like something is going on regarding her son - potentially desisting and reverting to he/him.

[–]bife_de_lomo[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

What has happened to her child is the saddest part of this story. But it's exactly why the safeguards that Mermaids tried so fervently to destroy should be in place.

If he is desisting then I can only hope it causes self-reflection at the very least, and penance/ children's rights advocacy as a good first step.
