Mermaids is a Transgender Lobby group that specialises in giving information about Transgender children. They have been noted to spread regressive gender stereotypes and misinformation about the 2010 Equality Act; and they reinforce debunked statistics about suicide rates.

They are a lobbying group not an impartial advisory body and are not being held accountable for the misinformation they spread. They have no place training employees of the state such as teachers and police officers. Mermaids should no longer be allowed to run training for public servants.
