The UK Charity Commission Is Investigating Mermaids For Breaking The Law

Following an unsuccessful effort to bring Mermaids into compliance with British law, the Charity Commission has begun a “statutory inquiry” into the organization, according to the Times of London.

Mermaids “has not provided the necessary reassurance or satisfied the commission at this stage” regarding “newly identified issues” of “governance and management,” according to the Commission.

CEO Susie Green left Mermaids last Friday after leading the organization since 2016. Under her tenure, Mermaids drew worldwide acclaim from politicians, celebrities, and activists. Funding was generous.

Critics were systematically silenced or shouted down. Then this year, Green sued to have the charitable status of a completely different organization, the LGB Alliance, overturned, resulting in one of the greatest legal fiascos of all time.

One after another, the witnesses for Mermaids admitted total lack of expertise in medicine, child development, or any scientific field related to pediatric transition.
