The absolute nerve of them to even have brought this case against them in the first place!
A TRANSGENDER rights organisation has lost its case to have the controversial LGB alliance stripped of its charitable status - in what is thought to be the first case of its kind in the UK. The group, Mermaids, launched the appeal in June 2021 arguing that LGB alliance "shouldn't be recognised as a charity because it was focused on hostile anti-trans activism and not (as it claimed) on the promotion of lesbian, gay and bisexual rights". The case was heard from September to November 2022 and the tribunal's decision was given today.
LGB alliance celebrated their victory in the case on Twitter, saying: "We are delighted that the tribunal found in our favour and that Mermaids and the LGBT Consortium have failed in their bid to remove our charitable status." Mermaids have released a statement on their website following the ruling today. The group argued the outcome of the case still puts a "huge question mark" over the charity's status as judges were "split" on the decision - one arguing in favour of Mermaids and one against.

Wrong decision, it’s very obviously not a charity, it doesn’t help anyone, it’s a hate group, who’s members are vastly straight, who’s only focus is to eradicate trans people from society

The last thing Mermaids needs is people looking in their direction. Serve the creeps right if it ended up with them losing theirs.

Which of their "policies" or actions lead you to that conclusion? What information do you have that eluded the tribunal?

You clearly believe the propaganda over the actual evidence the court decided was sufficient

I believe their actions and their words, their only goal is to harm and strip away the rights of trans people, like I said, the vast majority of the ‘members’ are straight people, the organisation has got nothing to do with gay rights

The court beg to differ Liam. I see a massive split in the LGBT community lately since the more traditional groups like Stonewall have decided to change what homosexuality even is. Same sex attraction is suddenly transphobic. There's an absolute need for new charities who still believe in that surely whether you believe it or not?

There isn’t a need for an organisation that purposefully targets trans people no, because trans people aren’t destroying anything, the bigots who don’t like trans people are trying to create the divide so they can get their own way

There was a split decision?
One of the judges ruled in Favour of the trans group so there must of been some truth to the accusations |

We promote the rights of lesbians, bisexuals & gay men, as recognised by
biological sex. "We are proponents of respectful free speech and we seek dialogue with all to present our views and to learn from others. We lift up LGB people by preserving their history, celebrating their achievements and by working to create the conditions in which lesbian, gay and bisexual people can thrive to enjoy happy and fulfilled lives." |

It came out in that case that more than 70% of the members of the organisation are straight, she’s the one that admitted that iirc. No, she’s a bigot for setting up an organisation founded on the belief that trans people are lesser and don’t deserve rights and dignity in society

One could argue that a very large portion of the LGBTQI ++++++ groups are straight too

People have repeatedly asked you to justify this or provide any sort of example of it and you haven't been able to. At some point you're going to have to accept that you're just a resonance chamber for other people's opinions. You can't back them for yourself because you didn't reason them out for yourself. All I can say is, one day, at least try. You might come to the same conclusion but at least you'll be able to back it when asked.

Or, I just don’t feel the need to justify myself or my opinions to people who have no actual interest in listening to anyone other than the people who dislike the same people they do.
I’ve learned my lesson to not get involved in discussions with people who have no real outputs other than ‘trans people bad’ now I just post my opinions and leave it at that
