UK Charity Commission Directs Mermaids to Rewrite Guidance, Follow Cass Review on Chest Binders
Oct 24, 2024, 07:15 AM
The UK Charity Commission has directed Mermaids, a leading trans children's charity, to rewrite its guidance on puberty blockers and adhere to the Cass Review's findings. The Commission's statutory inquiry found that Mermaids mismanaged its governance, culture, and practices, failing to keep pace with its growing size. The report revealed that Mermaids provided chest binders to children aged 13-16 without parental consent and falsely claimed that puberty blockers were reversible. Mermaids, described as the most influential activist group regarding child transition in the UK, faces scrutiny. The investigation, which took two years, raises questions about the Commission's own effectiveness.
