Congratulations to BYM staff for removing Mermaids from their list of 'useful organisations' "supporting the families of children and young people who are experiencing gender identity issues".
I expect they have done so in light of this year’s controversies surrounding Mermaids: their ex-trustee, Jacob Breslow, and his links to a paedophile group; being investigated by the Charity Commission for allegedly sending ‘breast binders’ to young girls against their parents’ wishes; and taking LGB Alliance to court, falsely alleging that its “real purpose is the denigration of trans people”.
I hope that BYM staff will now add Transgender Trend to their list of useful organisations on gender identity issues.
Note: Mermaids was listed in Journeys in the Spirit, Youth Edition, Issue 36 of June 2019, which is on Woodbrook’s Being Friends Together site. Page 8 included Mermaids under ‘Links to other useful organisations’ as: "An organisation supporting the families of children and young people who are experiencing gender identity issues".
