Members of 'Mermaids' have taken legal action against the LGB Alliance, accusing it of 'transphobia'.

Abstract:

Excerpt:

The transgender youth charity 'Mermaids' has asked a UK tribunal to take away the charitable status of the LGB Alliance (LGBA) group, which promotes gay rights, insisting the organization is "merely a front for transphobia" and political campaigning for preventing changes to gender identification laws, The Telegraph reported on Tuesday.

The charity, which has already previously found itself in hot water for publicly rejecting the idea that people can change their gender, has in turn accused Mermaids of being "profoundly homophobic," noting that the LGBA is the only organization in the UK that focuses exclusively on the rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual people.

The lawsuit was filed by the Good Law Project on behalf of several trans activist groups, including Mermaids -- a charity that has aimed to change gender laws and add gender-neutral language to UK legislation.
