What gets me is watching all these groups roll over and then act like they were forced to do this. It is a choice to expel trans people instead of fight for us.
And of course, it is mostly funded by Rowling, who embarrrasses anyone with claims to humanity. As a Cis-Woman with two Trans-girls in my family, I am tempted to start a GS Troop that invites Transkids in. No time like the present.
I saw that. Ironically, I saw that on a Facebook page posting the BSA with their Scouts (as opposed to long coed Explorer program) now mandates Councils permit a Charter Org that wants to, the opportunity to raise a coed Troop (Charter Orgs are not mandated to have coed units, but regional councils must permit them.).
Of course, that option Councils must administer if A Charter Org so chooses prompted Kegbreath to curtail DoD support of all BSA organizations.
If the DoD is lucky, despite Kegbreatjh, the BSA will continue to accept the DoD as an institution the BSA can associate with in good conscience.
Given the fact of evolution, It’s amazing that some people are actually capable of going to such unfathomable and despicable lengths to populate the world with their anti-humanity, nastier than Satan’s farts, hateful boorish and empirically undefined bigotry, racism and misogyny. The cruelty it takes to think or say that a trans girl isn’t a girl at all, or a trans boy isn’t a boy at all or the same for trans women or men is as deeply cruel as it was for Nazi’s to murder upwards of 30 million people. It’s worse than saying that the Holocaust didn’t happen or that slavery was good for Black persons. I’m nauseous just thinking about it. Evolution better hurry up or humanity will go the way of the dinosaurs and earth will be left with only Demogorgons that will eat each other.
As always, thanks for the great reporting, and keeping track of the history that led to this decision. The links are so helpful. The Guardian article is heartbreaking, and points up how far backwards we have moved.
The UK is no longer an accepting government they have become a country that refuses to accept anyone who is a little different from them, they are anti-trans to antisemites. They have let the most ignorant, immoral, of their country infiltrate their judicial and government institutions. unfortunately they are not the only ones. I include the US. Why intelligent, educated people won’t stand up is beyond me.
Isn’t the April UK Supreme Court ruling subject to some type of review, oversight, and possible negation by a higher European court?
That is what I thought I heard. Can anyone provide an update on this?
In the meantime, the situation in the UK wrt trans people is tragic, even worse than in the U.S., since the UK is small and has no “blue states” to flee to.
Once again, the cruelty is the point. My heart goes out to these innocent girls.

Yes, and especially when in their statement they claim to believe in inclusion and support for the marginalized. Smells of cowardice.
This make me sick. I was a Girl Scout Leader for years and gender/sexual orientation is a non issue.
I feel like we have truly entered bizzaro world. I have long noted about how inclusive Girl Scouts is vs Boy Scouts.
I am very curious if the US Girl Scouts have made a statement regarding this…

This is so wrong and it seems they’re caving to pressure

I will be glad when the social fad of bullying trans kids is over. So weak.

The world is severely lacking in empathy. Get young people to hate and exclude when they’re young and impressionable.
But trans boys can still join?
