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). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63137873 |

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'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...y-Mermaid.html She took another swipe after hitting out at celebrity support for the charity last month. |

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’

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