          The article that gave the 'right side of history' view was by @ambermb but she apologised almost as soon as it was published being the wrong kind of person (as a bog standard female) to write an article about whether women's toilets should be made unisex.pic.twitter.com/3joGqkgcAO

          Apologies and non-apologies..... back in June the @nscpcc appointed Munroe Bergdorf as an ambassador, and then quickly changed their mind when they realised they had not done their due diligence on Bergdorf's suitabilityhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48643467 …

          This was a failure by @nspcc. It was right they they apologised to Bergdorf for their mishandling, but their first priority must be children, not celebrity hurt feelings, or rainbow brandinghttps://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-we-do/news-opinion/munroe-bergdorf/ …

          Concerns about Bergdorf being linked to the children's charity were serious: inviting children to make contact directly, and promoting sexualisation of children as 'drag kids'.pic.twitter.com/ILcbWS47yg

          150 NSPCC staff responded with a letter saying they were "deeply disappointed about the treatment of Munroe by the organisation" - they said the concerns were pressure from “a relatively small group of people” and they condemned the decisionhttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jun/11/munroe-bergdorf-nspcc-staff-condemn-decision-to-cut-ties-with-trans-activist …

          Let that sink in. There are 150 staff at NSPCC who see nothing wrong with an adult inviting vulnerable children to contact them by DM, and in saying kids are never to young to engage in sexualised behaviour for adult's entertainment. No problem at all.... https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/43329/1/munroe-bergdorf-desmond-is-amazing-drag-kid-interview …pic.twitter.com/Vczj3Y2n4l

          What they found out was that the person responsible for booking Bergdorf was an NSCPCC employee with a rubber fetish who posted obscene videos of himself filmed in work toilets and business trips & linking this with his professional Linked-in profilehttp://uncommongroundmedia.com/nspcc-employee-films-himself-masturbating-at-work/ …
