Sheep may safely graze
All is not well on the trans progressive front. Nobody is progressive enough or trans enough or safe enough. There are no safe spaces. There are no space safes. All the wheels have come off, even the ones that never touched the ground.
Mermaids is refusing to let staff see a report into ousted boss Susie Green’s leadership because there are not “safe spaces” in which to read it.
You can’t trust anyone – not Susie Green, not staff, not Mermaids – no one.
Last weekend, a whistleblower told The Telegraph how Ms Green faced a staff backlash over her “incapable” leadership, culminating in the “nail in the coffin” report, seen by trustees.
Trustees. You can’t trust them either. Where are you when you can’t trust the trustees?
But on Monday staff were told that the board of trustees felt “we can’t safely share the EDI [equality, diversity and inclusion] report today as we had planned”.
You can’t even trust the EDI report!
Citing media reports and an “unacceptable risk” to the authors, Mat Maddocks, a Mermaids trustee, wrote in the email that “our first priority is the well-being of our staff and given these events it isn’t possible to create the safe spaces for processing the report that are vital”.
Can you keep track of all these different categories of people who need safe spaces and can’t find safe spaces and say that safe spaces are vital? Because I can’t. I picture a building full of distraught people all trying to prioritize the well-being of everyone else while at the same time preventing everyone else from reading anything written by everyone else.
Oh wait, there’s another set of people.
The audit by the Social Justice Collective (SJC), a diversity group, follows staff complaints about alleged racism, safeguarding after a trustee spoke at a conference sympathetic to paedophiles, and Ms Green “shoving her head in the sand” over scandals.
A diversity group! That’s a social justice collective! Added to the mix! How do they keep track of who is telling which set what to do and who is obeying?
Did any of them ever touch the ground?
Is the report written using Novichok laced ink on sheets of plutonium that give off sarin gas? JFC. IT’S ONLY WORDS, PEOPLE.
Would this report be available to the Charities Commission investigators? I’m sure they’ve got a nice, safe space in which they could read it.
Hah, another episode in the annals of Violence Literal Violence.
Obviously the excuse is a pathetic lie, but I wonder if the leadership even realises what it implies. If the report is is dangerous to staff mental health when read, it must be pretty fucking damning.
Meanwhile, from further on in that article:
Huh. A group wanting representation of their own at the top. But when the female sex agitates for the same thing, they are told to be content when the person at the top is not female, but claims to be one anyway.
