Mermaids do phenomenal work helping young trans people and those around them. The fact they’ve been harassed by transphobes to the point of temporarily CLOSING shows the state of transphobia in this country. It’s devastating, please keep fighting for trans people 🏳️⚧️
Due to intolerable abuse, we have made the decision to close the helpline and webchat services for the rest of today and tomorrow. Next week, to enable us to take all volunteers off the rota, we will reduce hours to 9am to 6pm only.
