I have to admit that this year's choice of Mermaids was at least partly prompted by realising that it would be an excellent way to troll my transphobic relatives on FB, as well as by my outrage at the TERF campaign which has prompted a "reconsideration" of their Lottery grant

Nice choice!! I was pretty appalled to see that (though barely surprised, given the TERF fervour in this country rn.)
