Munroe Bergdorf dropped by the NSPCC

    Last week the prominent transgender celebrity Munroe Bergdorf was appointed as a childline ambassador by the NSPCC. There was an outcry, mainly by feminist groups that this was inappropriate due to Bergdorf's history of encouraging children to contact "her" privately if their parents weren't supportive. This goes against all safeguarding guidelines. There were also other issues regarding racist and homophobic tweets posted by Bergdorf.

    The NSPCC reviewed this and decided that Bergdorf was not an appropriate ambassador for their Childline service and rescinded the role. Cue the outrage from the woke bros on Twitter who tried to paint this as transphobia. The Guardian, BBC, Owen Jones and several other prominent right-on dudes posted that this was a disgrace, while completely ignoring the concerns that were highlighted.

    Then today it emerged that the NSPCC official who hired Bergdorf may also not be an ideal person to be working for a children's charity. He posted publicly videos and photos of himself dressed in gimp and rubber suits. Again, the woke bros swarmed Twitter to defend him, saying that what he did in private was his own business and any criticism was blatant homophobia.

    Until a couple of hours ago when screenshots emerged of him dressed in rubber under his work clothes boasting about him masturbating in the toilets of his employer - the NSPCC. The woke bros have since gone very quiet.

    A Childline ambassador? Good grief. Some cognitive dissonance trying to justify that one.

    I am not transphobic, I am gender critical. I just don't buy into this non-scientific nonsense. And I most certainly am not homophobic. I would have huge concerns about anyone involved in child protection posting kink videos online, regardless of their sexuality. What is very worrying is the amount of people who try to defend this.

    Its a stupid word in the current trendy meaning.

    The only woke I will use, will be, "I woke up early this morning".

    How many positions is this that she has lost? She was dropped by L'Oreal (guess she's not worth it :p) and she had something with the Labour Party which didn't work out. There maybe others. I don't really give her much attention. She's a gobsh!te.

    You know what it means. How about you comment and address the substantive issues in my post instead of trying to deflect. Do you think it is appropriate for someone to encourage children to contact a stranger on the internet behind their parent's back and do you think it is appropriate for a high ranking official of the NSPCC to post publicly viewable photos and videos of their kink lifestyle?

    Munroe is one ****ed up poisonous piece of work.

    I've no problem with Trans people, I have a problem with poisonous nasty ****ers though, that stuff is all between the ears not about gender, sexuality etc.

    If you worked for a charity dedicated to child protection, and posted a pic of you in your fetish wear to your personal page...
    Boasting about the sexually risqué behaviour you just indulged in at your place of employment?

    You really don't see the harm?
    The risk of reputational damage?

    Does that not essentially describe child line?

    It is a cult, from the repetitive chanting on the street, hunting out sinners especially Internal enemies, fighting the forces of evil, the certainty of righteousness.

    The people who joined the Christian Brothers years ago are now activists.

    That isn't a flippant comment, they are the same.

    Yeah he can do what he wants in his free time but filming himself pissing and **** in the work toilet and posting it where it's easy to find really isn't ok. it's highly inappropriate for any workplace and especially one that is the official child protection charity of the UK. The fetish stuff was linked to on his professional LinkedIn page btw. It seems there was no separation of his work and sexual life here. It's pretty bad.

    No. Encouraging children to contact a stranger online goes against all safeguarding guidelines. Bergdorf advocated this in their role as a trans celebrity. When confronted about this Bergdorf doubled down and insisted it was fine. It most certainly was not. Do you not see the problem with this?

    I've no problem with what he does in private but celebrating pissing everywhere and **** in the toilet of your children's charity is all k8nds of ****ed up.

    Doubt they’ll ever recover from this. Close down the charity full stop

    What kind of upbringing might a Munroe Bergdorf have had anyway. A Jussie Smollet and all
