A trans charity has had to take action after receiving an “intolerable” amount of abuse.
Mermaids, a charity that supports gender variant and transgender youth up and down the country including Liverpool, have closed their helplines and webchat services for two days after receiving hate. The group have also decided to reduce their opening hours next week as well as a result of the abuse.
The advocacy organisation, which was founded in 1995 by a group of parents of gender-nonconforming children and became a charitable incorporated organisation in 2015, took to social media to share the news.
