Fish Out Of Water: Mermaids Charity Flops Onto The Unfamiliar Shore Of Accountability
Stop the Presses - 30 September 2022
Mermaids, the charity that did more to create the child sterilization fad than any other organization on the planet, is finally being held accountable. In just two weeks, their star has plummeted to earth. First, they tried an ill-advised lawsuit against the LGB Alliance that got all their witnesses exposed in court as thoughtless, child-sterilizing cretins. That case has not even concluded and the damning testimonial record is already catching up to them as consequences.
This week, the Times of London reported on the Mermaids website offering binders to underage children without the consent of their parents. Yesterday, they reported that Mermaids will be investigated by the UK’s Charity Commission, the same body where they are suing the LBG Alliance. (In a delightful self-own, Pink News denied the report yesterday only to have it confirmed hours later by the Charity Commission.)
The whole house of cards is coming down now, and not soon enough. Everyone who took part in it must be held to account. Everyone. They knew better, or else they should have listened to Susie Green’s TED Talk years ago and figured out from her own admissions that Mermaids is a homophobic hate group sterilizing LGB kids.
ACCEPTANCE WITHOUT EXCEPTION: When Maj. Jamie Lee Henry, the “first openly trans US Army officer” does treason, it is only fair that the resulting headlines should read “first openly trans US Army officer does treason.”
According to the eight-count indictment, Gabrielian and Henry conspired to cause harm to the United States by providing confidential health information of Americans associated with the United States government and military to Russia. Specifically, the indictment alleges that beginning on August 17, 2022, Gabrielian and Henry conspired to provide IIHI related to patients at Medical Institution 1 and at Fort Bragg to an individual they believed to be working for the Russian government in order to demonstrate the level of Gabrielian’s and Henry’s access to IIHI of Americans; their willingness to provide IIHI to the Russian government; and the potential for the Russian government to gain insights into the medical conditions of individuals associated with the United States government and military in order to exploit this information.
Of course, the person they met turned out to be an FBI agent, because these geniuses thought they could do treason with the Russian embassy via the internet, LOL. From their remarks reported in the indictment, both are clearly nuts. Remember, the whole reason we are supposed to sterilize the kids is because this man exists.
HE GETS TWO TITLES: Because he is the most marginalized and oppressed white man ever, you know.
IS THIS A ‘BREADCRUMB’?: An Oklahoma children’s hospital stopped sterilizing children after the state legislature moved to intervene. When the usual suspect at the ACLU complained on Twitter, “he” added this cryptic afterthought:
At the risk of over-reading this, isn’t it interesting that someone of such, um, stature has tried to put an air gap between these two things? Is Matt Walsh living rent-free in Chase’s head? Is Chase acknowledging that “gender identity” issues neatly split the Democratic Party electoral coalition? Or — and this would be amazing — is Chase now hearing back from people on “his side” of politics worried that enough is enough with the child-sterilizing cult, already?
LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS: A generation ago, modern women were told that they could have a family and a career in equal abundance with equal ease. This unrealistic expectation has made countless women miserable. As Megan Murphy argues, it’s also now pushing women towards the false and dangerous promises of commercialized reproduction.
During that first episode, the whole Kardashian family seem concerned that Khloe seems “detached” from the process, as though they are unaware that she is quite literally detached. The mother-baby bond is an incredibly powerful thing — for a reason — and to attempt to trick yourself into believing that doesn’t exist because it is your egg, and because you paid this woman to hand off her baby to you, strikes me as insane.
ANGRY MEN, MAKE THEM WOKE: French feminists demonstrating their support of abortion access got attacked in the street on Wednesday, but not by pro-lifers. No, this gang of angry young male chauvinists wore lipstick, which makes that sort of thing permissible, now.
Today, in France, women who are going to demonstrate during the international day of struggle for abortion are being attacked by transidentitarians with complete impunity and with the complicity of the organizers of the march.

TWITTER PROTECTS GROOMERS: Chaya Raichik aka Libs of TikTok was locked out of her Twitter account again. This time, her thoughtcrime is tagging the FBI to a video of a drag queen putting a child’s hand on his crotch and holding it there. Raichik says she will sue if Twitter suspends her permanently. Twitter is already being sued for actively supporting child pornography.


One of these days, legal discovery is going to uncover just what has been going on at the blue bird app, and it will be ugly.
THIS IS NOT HEALTHY: We have no idea how many people will ultimately be affected by this medical fad, or in how many ways.
