Former Mermaids Chief Vows to Defy Puberty Blocker Ban at New Trans Clinic

by Will Jones
21 December 2024 3:00 PM

A former Chief Executive of the charity Mermaids, Susie Green, has vowed to defy the nationwide ban on puberty blockers at her new trans clinic by importing the drugs via the EU. The Telegraph has the story.

Susie Green said Anne Trans Healthcare, which describes itself as helping “trans youth of all ages” to access puberty blockers, would continue to provide “legal routes to gender-affirming healthcare”.

Last week, the Government announced a nationwide ban on the drugs, which stop the onset of puberty and had been routinely given to children questioning their gender.

In April, the Cass Review, led by the paediatrician Baroness Cass, found there was “remarkably weak” evidence to support their prescription for children with gender dysphoria.

Ms. Green, who was Chief Executive at Mermaids until 2022, co-founded Anne Trans Healthcare in 2023.

The organisation’s website claims that it offers a “legal route” for under-18s to access puberty blockers by organising prescriptions from doctors based abroad. They are then collected and brought to Britain from European Union countries by the person with the prescription.

Jolyon Maugham KC, the Director of the Good Law Project, backed the method of procuring puberty blockers earlier this year.

He wrote on social media: “So you can get your EU prescription fulfilled at an EU pharmacy and lawfully bring those puberty blockers back into the U.K.”

Ms. Green said puberty blockers had a “positive impact” on children with gender dysphoria and that her charity would still help children access them despite the ban.

She told the Times: “We will continue to do so despite a U.K.-wide ban. We do it because to do otherwise would be morally and ethically wrong. The ban is cruel, prejudicial and frankly inhumane.” …

Mermaids was reprimanded by the Charity Commission in October for a series of controversial decisions, including its promotion of puberty blockers and chest binders to children.

Worth reading in full.

Just what kind of evil demons drive these people?
How blind must they be to believe that what they are doing is good?
Are they insane?

It’s more like a secular religion. This particular aspect of it involves a secular equivalent of the transmigration of souls – male to female; female to male. But male and female in this religion have been reduced to abstract entities completely divorced from biology. Hence the madness of believing that drugs – puberty blockers – can replace and defy any kind of underlying reality.

It’s the woke mind virus that is responsible for the de-feminization/de-masculinization of society. Anyone on board with this toxic ideology is sick and twisted, certifiable, in fact. Most certainly a danger to society. And I don’t know if it’s just me or not but why is it almost always white people pushing it and white people who are jumping onboard this particular bandwagon? That’s my observation, anyway. Mind you, that’s also my observation around the climate nobtards. Try finding a non-white face next time you view any footage of them being a public nuisance. Whether it’s gluing themselves to the road or chucking soup/orange paint over things, it’s always whities. Answers on a postcard for why that might be because I’ve no clue.

Decadence in Nietzsche’s sense of choosing the thing that will destroy them. I appreciate that this idea pushes causality back a stage – because after all, why would they choose self-destruction? Why choose death over life?

Yes, which is why the Leftards and Islam make such suitable bedfellows. It’s about the fragmentation, division and ultimate destruction of society as we know it. I know I’m preaching to the choir but name any of the government-pushed agendas and it’s always the Leftards that are driving/enabling/supporting it, and none of these agendas are for the betterment of the people. On the contrary. Lefties + Islam is a toxic combo that works well together for their purposes. Though it’s noteworthy that although you’ll see loads of trans activists at these pro-terrorist/anti-West demos, you’ll never see any Muslims at the trans demos, or who are even trans themselves.

Nietzsche is stronger on and subtly different from that: The decadent lacks the vitality and nobility of spirit to embrace and live life despite its inevitable end and therefore, he actively seeks out what will not only destroy him but everything else as well. A philosophical Herostratus, so to say, who seeks glory by denying others what he can never become himself.

I do think a lot of humour, much like sarcasm, is lost by many in this place. We’re going to have to start being less subtle and put up symbols or emojis ( “lol” “sarc” ) in order to give people a heads up.

Sarcasm doesn’t travel well over the ‘net. In a sense, we’re all completely masked here as neither tone nor facial expressions can be communicated. Because of this, it’s better to always mark it as such.

It does appear to always be white, usually middle class (even if they dress like hobo’s) people, and its also the same in those decrying racism, white privilege and attacking those who want to preserve our language, culture and traditions.

It seems to always be white councilors calling to ban Christmas and nativity plays, because it somehow offends other religions, who don’t seem to be the ones doing the complaining

She took her son to Thailand at age 16 for “gender affirming surgery” (presume that’s code for having your cock and balls chopped off and replaced with a fake vagina, and being given fake breasts, presumably backed up with a cocktail of female hormones).

She clearly has ‘issues’ and needs to be stopped before she ruins another child’s life.
I think they invert the cock to form a vagina as so many want to change back when they get bored.
Not sure if they sew the balls back into the abdomen so they do not lose these for good.

Thanks for that info – didn’t know the details…

Presumably sent to Thailand because it would have been illegal here. Taking a minor out of the country to have something done to them which is illegal here sounds questionable to me.

Apparently he was bullied at school for being effeminate. Trying to become a woman seems like giving in to the bullies to me. Can’t really get my head round not being able to accept you’re an effeminate man and what other people say about you says more about them than you, but somehow resolving that by “becoming a woman”. Seems to me just saying “I am a nancy boy, f*** off and get used to it, I don’t care what you think” would be easier.

I am not so sure they have to go to Thailand as they can pull ‘the suicide threat’ and say unless the child is mutilated they will commit suicide.
After Savile we all said how could this happen in plain sight. It is and it does and I think it is about the control of vulnerable kids for sexual exploitation.
No normal or loving parent would behave like this.

Apparently he was bullied at school for being effeminate.

Code language for: Got hounded by teenage homosexuals because he was smaller than them. I know this story all to well¹. I’ve meanwhile settled on a definition of Can’t resist the urge to molest other men for homosexual, because if you aren’t, you don’t do that. Life is too short to waste it endlessly with other people’s weird pretensions.

The mother is obviously the absolute horror.

¹ As in Being forced to parade naked through a group of howling so-called boys by threats of serious violence during a boy scout camp. Being somewhat stubborn in nature, after this didn’t work to get the morons off my back, I stopped yielding to their demands. Violence duly occurred and was duly overlooked by all so-called adults but it proved tolerable. And I sometimes even managed to get someone who was himself small enough that I stood a chance against him alone. Oh, the joys of youth!

I find being a parent very difficult, but I don’t think I would have done what she did. I bloody hope not anyway. Helping your kids to deal with the world as it is rather than run away from it has surely got to be better.

I’m usually reluctant to speculate about other people’s hidden motivations because this is fraught with uncertainty but this was her first child and my guess would be that she had really wanted a daughter instead. Being convinced of the truth of so-called millieu theory¹, she thus set forth to create the daughter she didn’t birth.

It’s bad news for a child when the mother ‘questions’ its gender.

¹ A German term which apparently doesn’t exist in English. It’s the theory that humans have no nature but are totally socially constructed and that every human being can – principally – become anything other human beings desire it to become.

You may well be right. I think most/all parents to a greater or lesser degree project their desires onto their children. I know I did/do. It’s not a good idea!

I had not heard the phrase “milieu theory” before. It certainly fits with the way thinking seems to be getting further and further detached from reality.
