Six year old trans girl ‘tries to cut off her penis’ after Guide ban

A number of years ago both girl guiding and scouts asked their membership to vote on whether they should remain single sex. Scouting, I assume due to falling numbers, voted to open membership up to all, whilst girl guiding chose to remain single sex. Are you suggesting girl guiding should ignore the overwhelming majority of its members to pander to a small number of parents that can’t say no to their male child, especially when there is another organisation (scouts) that they can join instead?

Wouldn’t the sensible solution be to send this child to a mixed sex group that already exists ie the scouts?

This boys friends may well be, probably as their parents have all lied to them as well that he's a girl. They can all go join the Scouts together and let the rest of the girls at Rainbows enjoy their single sex provision safe in the knowledge that now that is exactly what it is.

It’s interesting how often these parents arrive just in the nick of time to find their child attempting to remove their penis with scissors.

It’s not that complicated, surely. Your friend is a boy. Rainbows is for girls only.

Girls should be banned from scouts. When I was a kid boys went to scouts and girls went to guides.

What an awful group of parents. Cult-like.
Anyway what girl? That's a boy.

I don’t think fibbing to create magic surrounding Father Christmas leaving presents in their house for about 8 years is remotely comparable to telling children or adults alike that they can change sex for life. For a start one doesn’t impact others whilst the other one does.

This is definitely not the ‘gotcha’ the parents probably imagine it is. What the fuck have they done to a child that age for this to happen? This child needs help.

Why the heck are this child's parents allowing such harrowing, personal details become common knowledge?

Poor child.

If it hadn't been GG that pushed him over the edge it would have been something else. Probably something minor to every one else at school. poor kid.

Its only difficult to explain the situation to them if you've previously lied about it.

I’m not sure, my daughter is at rainbows and has various friends. If she found out one of her friends was banned from rainbows she would be very confused and upset. She would have no idea what being trans meant, nor do I think she would care.

We haven’t come across this situation yet in the real world. Closest we have come to is about gay relationships. So I think it’s hard to say if you haven’t lived the situation

I must have been 7 or 8 years old when I was sent to see a child psychologist, because when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said 'David Attenborough'.
I can still remember the look on his face when he realised that I did not want to be David Attenborough. I wanted to do his job but I didn't know what it was called.

Why make Guides mixed sex? Why can’t girls, for once, have something of their own that they don’t have to share with boys. It’s really not too much to ask.

Poor child has parents with Munchausen’s by-proxy. Unfortunately, this is becoming more common; batshit people have kids and they become an extension of their batshit views and solipsistic approach to life.

Utterly sick of this shit.

A sensible solution would have been for the parents to send their kids to Scouts in the first place.

Girls provision is for girls. Full stop.

*boy

Excellent post.

Came on to say the same. A girl cannot cut off her penis. She doesn't have one. I am pretty sure a 6 year old (who hasn't been brainwashed anyway) could understand that.

But it is a boy. If I pretend to be a caterpillar it doesn’t actually make me a caterpillar nor should the rest of the world refer to me as a caterpillar.
He, a boy, should never have been in rainbows and his parents should never have made him aware of trans nonsense

If the parents hadn’t gone along with the bullshit in the first place maybe the little lad wouldn’t have developed such mental health problems.

“her penis” just sums up the whole argument.

No. Why can't girls just have something for themselves? Why should the girls budge over and let the boys in?

And a six year old BOY wanting to cut his penis off needs mental health intervention. His issues aren't solved by the adults colluding in the lie that he's a girl. Letting him go to Rainbows is not the solution.

All those parents who didn't send their daughters to Brownies and Guides because they didnt want them sharing sleeping spaces with males (something which even mixed sex orgs like Scouts weren't stupid enough to institute) will now be able to add their DDs to the waiting list.

But "she" is a male how did a transchild know about this why are the parents not protecting their little 6 year old why are the parents insisting on brownies which as far as I am aware girls don't start until 8 years old not 6. If parents recognise their child as trans surely they should try and make their lives easy maybe send them to scouts and not and try and make a point about girl guiding.
