Yesterday, we identified some signs your child might be a mermaid, and discussed why mermaid-affirming care is essential. If your child is a mermaid, one important step along her journey to become her true self is leg-binding. See, she's not going to have those clunky, ungraceful land legs forever. And the very appearance of them causes her species dysphoria, reminding her of how sad she is that she hasn't fully transformed into her true mermaid self yet. If unaffirmed, species dysphoria can even lead to suicide! You can reduce her distress and help her practice for a life with one tail, instead of two legs, by binding her legs with rope for 8 to 16 hours a day. Doctors agree: the benefits outweigh the risks. Affirm your child's mermaid identity today and get her some binding rope! If you don't, there are charitable nonprofits that will happily send her some binding rope behind your backs, discreetly, at no cost. And her teachers will be happy to let her bind in the closet so she can live as her true self at school. So, there's really no point in holding back, or trying to stop her. Hop on board with mermaid affirmation today!
