The malign influence of Mermaids is becoming increasingly clear

While I was writing about the latest scandalous revelation involving the children’s charity Mermaids and the Tavistock Gender identity development service (GIDS) it occurred to me that readers of these pages will already be familiar with the key planks of this terrible tale. You will doubtless have seen countless articles critiquing gender ideology and the medical treatments on vulnerable children over the years that have become normalised, and will be aware that gender ideology has seeped into pretty much every key institution in the land.  

The consequences of gender ideology for women as well as children have been grave, as it has led to the push for men to legally be able to self-identify as women and invade single sex spaces such as refuges and Rape Crisis centres, prison wings, and changing rooms. It has also led to gender clinics handing out toxic hormones to children as though they were Haribos.

There should be real consequences for those that have allowed so many children to be pushed through this medical conveyor belt

Now it has been officially revealed what many of us have known for some time: the Tavistock has been taking instructions from the charity Mermaids.
