Children’s transgender charity Mermaids is using characters from the Mr. Men and Little Miss series to promote its harmful and anti-scientific gender ideology to young children. MailOnline has more.
Mermaids, a charity which advocates for and supports transgender children, posted pictures of the characters with phrases such as “trans women belong in sports”.
It also changed the nouns for some of the characters from “Little Miss” and “Mr.” to “Little Mx” – a gender neutral title for people who [claim to be] non-binary.
The unexpected crossover, which was posted on Mermaids’ social media yesterday, has prompted fury online with people accusing the charity of using the characters to appeal to children.
It comes after Stonewall was forced to row back on a tweet in which it claimed children as young as two could be transgender, something that prompted a wave of criticism.
This furore did not stop Mermaids, which is the largest child transgender charity in the U.K., posting mock ups of Mr. Men characters which have become a common sight in family homes across the country.
In a tweet posted yesterday, the charity revealed pictures of the characters with the changes and the caption: “Which Little Miss Mermaids edition are you?”
It included four pictures, with “Little Miss Tiny” changed to “Little Mx Trans Women Belong in Sports”, “Mr. Perfect” changed to “Little Mr. Protect Trans Youth”, “Mr. Marvellous” changed to “Little Mx Trans and Fabulous” and “Little Miss Hug” changed to “Little Miss Support Trans Rights”.
This prompted accusations that the charity is using the beloved children’s characters to promote its gender ideology to young children.
Nikki da Costa wrote: “Last week we had Stonewall advocate that two year olds can be transgender. Now we have Mermaids co-opting Mr. Men and Little Miss typically aimed at two to six year-olds. What message does this send about preserving the space for children to be children?”
Sanrio, the Japanese company which owns the Mr. Men brand, did not immediately clarify whether its use for this purpose is authorised.

I never met Roger Hargreaves, but I’m not sure he’d approve of his characters being sexualised in this way.
Assuming I’d walk up to one of the many enormously overweight people out there and tried to talk them into accepting that their external appearance is just not right and that they’re responsible for getting it fixed according to my aesthetic ideals, how would the woketards call this?
Assuming the woketards approached (vulnerable) young children and tried to talk them into accepting that the biological sex of their bodies is just not right and that they have to get it fixed according woke aesthetic ideals if they ever want to live a wholesome life, what should this accordingly be called?
Surely they are in breach of copyright, Roger Hargreaves died in 1988, his son took over but Roger Hargreaves is still named as the author.

I have contacted the mrmen website asking for their opinion on the use of Mr Men and Little Miss imagery.
Not once did it cross Mr Happy’s mind to declare his pronouns, and he lived happily ever after. Mr Topsy-Turvy, however, had always been confused about his gender, until he changed his identity to Little Mx Trans and Fabulous. Now everyone respects him more, of course. This infuriated Mr Angry, while Mr Forgetful couldn’t remember whether he was born a boy or girl.
Meanwhile, Mr Sensible suggested to everyone that the children reading about all of them should perhaps be exposed to slightly more innocuous, less sexual stereotypes until they were older. Everyone stood agape. This was the best idea they had heard all day!
Little Miss Support Trans Rights moped off with her tail between her legs and an existential crisis.
The End.
“Little Miss Support Trans Rights moped off with her “Cock between her legs.”
I hope you don’t mind the rewrite.
Deserves a second comment spelling this out in more detail: I can hardly (not at all at the moment, actually) imagine something more thoroughly perverted than claiming to affirm a child’s identity by telling it that its body is just wrong for a reason it doesn’t even understand and that it needs to be fixed by strange adults, possibly secretly, as its evil parents might disagree. Many things people can get very much worked up about leave me pretty cold but this abyss of horror literally makes me shudder, both when thinking about that I could have had to face it or a child of mine (I’m childless and single will very likely remain this way) could have to.
…yes I agree entirely…what is also specifically terrifying is that lots of ‘ordinary’ parents don’t see a problem, and in the name of modernity even back the ‘rights’ of people to spout this nonsense…and don’t oppose their children being subjected to it…that acquiescence is just utterly abnormal from a parent…..
I can’t believe I live in a world where mothers don’t protect their kids from the evils of the world anymore..my mother would have died to protect me, literally….. it seems like the last straw to me…
Only perverts who want to molest children would do something like this.
