1./ 🧵Was everyone who supported the "trans child" charity Mermaids a predatory scumbag, like Neil Gaiman? I suppose most were like Amanda Palmer. They knew what was happening and were more than happy to be accomplices.

2./ This surreal image is of Gaiman and Palmer as King and Queen of the annual Mermaid Parade in New York. In a creepy Sandman type twist the Parade has a special place in the trans mythology the couple supported so publicly, including financially.

3./ One of the key texts used to promote trans ideas to kids is 'Julian is a Mermaid'. In thousands of schools it's presented as an uplifting tale of a young boy who finds "his true self." Let me tell you why it's actually a profoundly disturbing book.👉

4./ After Julian spots a group of cross-dressing men heading to the same Mermaids Parade he tells his grandmother he wants to dress up and go too. Instead of warning him no boy should be hanging out with a crowd of drunk cross-dressers she agrees. Why ..mermaids though?👉

5./ Author Jessica Love said she chose mermaids after learning of their significance to trans people. "Who knows if that's because they're magical creatures who can live between two realities or because they don't have any genitals." Her comment hints at a dark obsession.

6./ Mermaids have long been a transgender icon precisely because they have no genitals. But should schools be encouraging children to imagine themselves without their reproductive body parts? Or suggest being a eunuch is a liberating identity. The book is not alone in doing that.

7./ At a trans conference in London in 1998 a representative from the charity Mermaids explained their name came from the fascination many "transwomen" felt for these mythological creatures because they"were sexless from the waist down." The fascination soon went global.

8./ The parents of Jazz Jennings, the "trans child" star of US reality TV, were advised by Mermaids in London how to transition their son. Jennings confirms here his connection with mermaids, the creatures, is "deep because mermaids have no genitals."

9./ Yes but it was creepy adults who sold Jazz (Jaron) on the idea of mermaids and their mythical lack of body parts. He has been left psychologically damaged, sterile and unable to have any sexual feelings. The myth he was sold was no more real than mermaids.

10./ Yet Jazz's little film about mermaids was commissioned by the Smithsonian (of all people) for an exhibition about Girlhood (of all things). A morbid adult sexual fantasy cheerfully being promoted to children by a major institution. In plain sight.

11./ The truth is Mermaids is a charity that exists for one purpose: to normalise the sterilisation of children. They distract from this horrific reality by doing exactly what Neil Gaiman is alleged to have done: hiding their crimes behind a smokescreen of progressive homilies.

12./ @NYMag presents a picture of a man without moral boundaries whose inexhaustible sadism lurked behind a welter of kind words. No wonder he was drawn to an organisation like Mermaids who advocate the drugging, mutilation and psychological manipulation of kids.

13./ 'Julian is a Mermaid' is part of this same child harm cult. When Gaiman reviewed the book he said, "I read it and teared up!" The people who should be tearing up now are those who applauded monsters like Gaiman and the morbid fascination for creatures without a sex.
