British Child-Transition Campaigner Steps Down

Susie Green, head of the British child sex-change charity, Mermaids, has quietly stepped down after six years in the job.

She is an example of how damaging it can be when a person adopts deranged political causes to justify their own poor decisions.

Green’s son, Jackie, struggled with gender dysphoria. Green took him to Boston for hormone treatments when he was twelve years old, and then to Thailand when he was 16 years old to undergo a genital surgery that is illegal for minors in the U.K. — and now in Thailand as well.

As chief executive of Mermaids, she also oversaw the appeal against the Charity Commission’s awarding of charitable status to LGB Alliance, a charity promoting gay rights which is skeptical of gender ideology. The Times reports that, “It is believed to be the first time one charity has attempted to strip legal status from another.”

Green came under fire most recently for appointing Dr. Jacob Breslow, who has argued for a “science-informed understanding” of “minor attracted persons” (aka pedophiles), as a trustee for Mermaids.

Green called the police on Kellie-Jay Keen, the women’s rights campaigner and mom of four from England, after Keen criticized Green on social media for having her son “castrated.”

Mermaids, under Green, also tried to influence NHS health-care policies in the treatment of gender-confused minors. The Times also reported how Mermaids attempted to “overturn an NHS ban on under-16s being treated with cross-sex hormones, which cause permanent body changes and compromise fertility.” In a Twitter spat with an NHS psychiatrist, Green wrote, “You need to f*** off. You know nothing.”

The organization was investigated by the Charity Commission after journalists at the Telegraph revealed how it was handing out breast binders to girls as young as 13, even against parental wishes.

Green’s legacy is that of a campaigner for what can only be described as child abuse. Good riddance.
