"Let's let this creepy person we found on the internet come take pictures of you in the swimming pool." If they really cared about Jazz he wouldn't have his own YouTube channel, but there's money to be made. They disgust me.

Ok, question about those tails. If you needed to, say, stop swimming and stand up, could you? There doesn't seem to be enough room there to allow that. Do you get out of the pool by hoisting yourself onto a seat or ledge and swinging around? I wouldn't worry about adults, but I see these two kids just swimming around and realize... I don't trust a single adult there to timely intervene if one of those two kids had a swimming emergency.

The whole mermaid thing is so absolutely repugnant to me that I can barely stand to look at it. What is a mermaid?

A mythical creature

Sexless

Helpless

Sub human.

Used as a metaphor for the doomed, sexually engaged woman in one fairy tale after another. Hans Christian Anderson's little mermaid wanted to get it on with a Prince. She ends up voiceless and eventually dead.

Oscar Wilde's mermaid was loved by a fisherman and it ended up killing both of them.

Usually, when you see them mentioned, they're washed ashore more often than not as dead creatures, tangled in ropes of kelp. Are you getting the fetish vibe here? It's intentional. Mermaids are fetish objects. They have no soul, literally, that is the thrust of most of the stories about mermaids. They are fascinated by human sex. And they will allow any man to do whatever he wants to them.

HOW IS THIS REMOTELY ACCEPTABLE AS A ROLE MODEL FOR ANYONE?

It's interesting that the two creatures the trans movement seems to place among its most favored symbols are the mermaid and the unicorn, which famously have in common that they do not exist.

isn't it?

The main thing that occurs to me is the phrase from the old tale, when the mermaid gets legs, that every step she takes is akin to ' walking on knives' i.e. incredibly painful. Seems apt for the chronic pain and suffering trans bottom surgeries seem to inflict in patients.

great observation, I forgot all about that part

You'll be horrified to learn the main trans-affirming advocacy organisation in the UK is called Mermaids.

They came to prominence under the leadership of a woman named Susie Green, who is basically the British version of Jeanette. She transed her son when he was a child and flew him to Thailand on his 16th or 17th birthday (forget which) so he could have his penis inverted. There's a TED talk by her from years ago where she admits the kid was an effeminate little boy and her husband didn't like that. God forbid he grow up to be gay, so she started dressing him as a girl and claimed his trans.

I already knew about Susie Green. I've followed the events in the UK since 2010. And Mermaids is such a disgusting, reprehensible organization I will admit, I try not to think about them.

If people are sending death threats because of pretending your son is a girl, if you care about your son, stop the ruse of being a girl

Seeing JoJo as a 5 year old and knowing he’s going to end up doing porn to pay for surgery is devastating me on a whole new level this morning.

Can you imagine a 7 year old really trying to kill themself? What they gonna buy a gun? They gonna go down to K and A and buy smack to over dose on? Please tell me the method a elementary school chikd would try to kill themselfs with. Absolutely ridiculous. If they want to kill themselves, send them to a behavioral health hospital. Get them into counciling. Do not remove their genitals ffs

Hanging. Been the odd case where I live in very young kids. They get the instructions online though. I imagine a certain number of US households have guns enough that a child can access them for one reason or another, school shootings or self harm. Didn't a six year old recently shoot a teacher over there?

Expand full comment

Yes in florida. The teach warned the principal that the boy put the gun in his pocket and they were told "he has little pockets" the teacher knew it would happen and the principal was busy with his fingers in his ears and his eyes closed
