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.
