Mermaids trustee quits over paedophile-group links
 

A trustee of the charity Mermaids has resigned after reports he spoke at a conference organised by a group that promotes support for paedophiles.

Dr Jacob Breslow quit the transgender children's charity after the Times revealed he had attended the B4U-ACT conference in 2011, as a PhD student.

B4U-ACT calls for paedophiles to have the right to live "in truth and dignity".

Mermaids says the organisation is "completely at odds" with its values.

B4U-ACT's website says it holds workshops and gives presentations about the needs and rights of people "with an attraction to children and adolescents", and runs support groups for both them and their friends and family members.

The abstract of a presentation Dr Breslow is understood to have given uses the phrase "minor-attracted persons" instead of paedophile.

Dr Breslow is an associate professor of gender and sexuality at the London School of Economics (LSE).

JK Rowling takes a swipe at woke Emma Watson for backing vile trans "charity Mermaid
 

• JK Rowling said Mermaids had achieved 'unprecedented influence in the UK'
• She said the transgender children's charity had been boosted by celebrities
• The Harry Potter author said 'the red flags have been there for years'

JK Rowling took a thinly veiled swipe at ridiculous woke Emma Watson whose
entire careeer is thanks to Rowling and has done diddly squat since Harry Potter and other celebrities
who backed transgender children's charity Mermaids after a trustee quit over
revelations he spoke at an 'academic' conference hosted by an organisation
that promotes services to paedophiles.

Mermaids trustee Dr Jacob Breslow presented research at an event in
Baltimore in 2011, which appeared to criticise societal understanding of
paedophiles.

The author's comments also came after the charity came under fire amid
accusations of giving chest-flattening devices to young girls against their
parents' wishes.

The Harry Potter author said yesterday the charity had achieved
unprecedented influence in the UK with the help of 'certain corporations and
celebrities' who boosted them despite 'red flags'.

She took another swipe after hitting out at celebrity support for the charity last month.

Cancel Emma Watson ungrateful girl.

Not that i agree with cancelling people.

i dont think she is the sharpest tool in the box, she comes across as very poorly educated

Oh gets rich off the back off who she's slagging off and gets a 'voice' to boot.

Hogwarts doesn't teach the National Curriculum, not her fault :nono:

it would be so easy for JK just to shut up ...good on her for still using her voice despite death threats and intimidation and appalling treatment by people who owe her their dubious ‘celebrity status’

Absolutely. That's a strong woman right there.

Video posted 4 years ago, how spot on was she

seems like the whole bunch are rotten to the core

This is what happens when safe guarding is removed, people take advantage.....

surely not, thought this would never happen!

But, if you're a trans man or woman, you just tick male or female, right? Why the faux outrage :fist:

more people being offended on behalf of others to virtue signal

the boots site is correct

They are a Business

the key words in the question are "at birth"

You can't change your sex, so your sex at birth is your sex now :shrug:

You can pretend and then get angry if other people dont go along with it

or should i say - other people will pretend to get angry on your behalf

another fool who jumped on it before she read the blurb :laugh:

She's overreacting imo.
