Police in West Yorkshire are investigating after the UK’s largest charity supporting transgender children received a stream of abusive messages online.
Mermaids UK reported a sharp rise in abusive and threatening comments on social media, saying it had been forced to block 20 people a day on Twitter.
The charity, which supports transgender children and their families, said it had been falsely accused of “enticing” children by attending recent Pride UK events.
One tweet sent to the charity included a poster that described Mermaids UK as a “dangerous cult”, saying staff planned to “groom gay kids”.

Green said: “[It’s got worse] because of the massive changes in the US, for example Donald Trump’s recent ban on transgender people serving in the military ... we have also attended double the number of pride events ... so we are becoming more visible.”
And the internet has giving them the anonymity for them to spew their hate.
