Trustee of transgender charity Mermaids resigns 'after giving speech at conference hosted by organisation that promotes services to paedophiles'
Daily Mail UK ^ | October 4, 2021 | Jacob Thorburn

A trustee of transgender children's charity Mermaids last night sensationally quit after it emerged he had spoken at an 'academic' conference hosted by an organisation that promotes services to paedophiles.

Dr Jacob Breslow, who at the time was a PhD student in gender research at the London School of Economics, presented his research at an event in Baltimore for the American-based B4U-ACT in 2011.

B4U-ACT lists its aims as supporting and promoting 'a science-informed understanding about people in our communities with an attraction to children or adolescents' on its own website.

Dr Breslow's presentation, titled Sexual Alignment: Critiquing Sexual Orientation, The Pedophile, and the DSM V, appears to criticise societal understanding of paedophiles.

The research, which still has extracts appearing online, promises 'major revisions on how paedophilia is defined, diagnosed and understood' and says it will approach the topic through 'queer and feminist lenses'.

His presentation, in parts, also adopts the controversial phrase 'minor attracted persons', which is used by some people instead of paedophile.

Mr Breslow has been contacted for comment by MailOnline.

B4U-ACT describes itself as a group with a 'unique collaborative effort between minor-attracted people and mental health professionals to promote communication and understanding between the two groups'.

It hosted a 'scientific symposium' in Maryland in August 2011, with concern raised over how paedophilia was addressed by American academic journals at the time.

The Times yesterday reported Dr Breslow, who works for LSE's Department of Gender Studies, was made a trustee of Mermaids in July 2022.

The transgender charity, which has been mired in controversy in recent months and was criticised by Harry Potter author JK Rowling, told the newspaper it was unaware of his appearance at the 2011 conference.

Fixed it.

I’m fine with “services to paedophiles”

Or I guess I am fine with services for peaedohiles after they have been dealt with.

Listening to kids that have de-transitioned I have realized how vicious and dangerous those who populate the trannie world are. They are monsters. Period. Doctors who commit these atrocities should be stripped of their credentials and imprisoned until they die.

Why are they doing this or that?
Why are they saying this or that?

Remember the simple answer:
Because they’re evil and they want to screw kids.
