An alert reader noticed something interesting at the margin of that Instagram photo that Susie Green, now-former CEO of Mermaids, posted a few days ago. Green added in the text of her post that the dog was scheduled for neutering at the vet.

Except that she casually, flippantly referred to cutting his “nuts” off. One imagines her saying it in the same tone that she referred to her son Jackie’s micropenis from the early puberty blockade she had installed to ease her husband’s homophobic anxiety about the child’s toy preferences.

Although the background is blurry, you can still make out that this is an actual Disney product. One that seems rather chilling, given her glib attitudes about sterilizing children. It’s a stuffed bear version of Ursula, the underwater witch who offers Ariel, the Little Mermaid of franchise fame, a devil’s bargain: legs to walk on land in exchange for her voice.

My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
To this
True? Yes.
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do

Is this a “breadcrumb,” like Green’s public statements about the family’s reason for transition? Is it a thank-you gift from her grateful son for communicating his situation to the world so clearly? It does not seem likely that she made a deliberate choice to leave it in frame as some sort of message. She does not strike me as that smart, and her exit from Mermaids at the hands of angry staffers telling tales suggests that she lacks self-awareness.

Susie Green groomed her son to be “trans.” Then Susie Green groomed Mermaids to make the world safe for her grooming of Jackie Green. On her behalf, Mermaids and Stonewall groomed governments, schools, and police agencies to enforce a whole new orthodoxy and groom a whole generation of children with her siren song. Poor unfortunate souls.
