Trans children charity shares pictures of Mr Men books with gender neutral terms
The charity showed its support for trans women in sport amid the ongoing row, which came to light after swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender person to win a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I title in March.Since then, a number of sport governing bodies have banned transgender women from competing in female events.
Mermaids, a charity which supports transgender children, posted pictures of the beloved Mr Men characters with phrases such as 'trans women belong in sports', showing its support for those who are trans. In a tweet with the caption: “Which Little Miss Mermaids edition are you?”, the charity changed the names of some of the children’s book characters.
