"Ace week" in girl guiding.

@2fallsfromSSA

I’m going to be printing off your gg letter to take to school. Ty

I find this really sinister. Some children are sexualised early. This is a massive societal problem but these children need targeted help.

The solution isn’t to bombard all children with information about sex at every opportunity.

I said similar to this on the AIBU thread and got told to fuck off! Although it seemed there were some poster on there who weren't exactly acting in good faith.

No wonder they are all so anxious and depressed. They need to go out in the woods and light fires, or learn to sew, or run a community program to get rid of littler. Not get farther and farther into their own heads

Oh god yes.

The worst thing is that they don't actually care. This is all just creating a problem so they can flog GG some training to solve it.

If that is true, then those are abused children one way or another who have been sexualised by someone, or seeing pornography. A 6 year old who has not been abused in this way, and who does not feel sexual attraction, does not have a ‘sexual’ orientation called ace.

I totally agree - it’s not common for primary school age children to be engaging in sexual activity and there would be serious concerns if they were. They may have ‘boyfriends’ or ‘girlfriends’, but this is very different from actually having sex!! The NSPCC PANTS guidance is helpful for this age group.

I just don't know why there isn't one f*%$ing place where kids can go to learn skills and have some fun without being subjected to being hassled about their various identities.

It must be bloody exhausting.

“@MrsOvertonsWindow I'm sorry to break it to you, but children do have sexual relationships. Children are increasingly being sexualised from a very young age. Children have 'boyfriends' and 'girlfriends' at primary school. It's an unfortunate truth that children are having sex or experimenting with sexual touching while still at primary school. You might not like it, but it is the reality and will continue to be so - the average age of puberty is getting younger and younger in Western society which means sexual feelings are kicking in younger and younger. “

Please if you have a link to that information would you post it?

It's recruitment. It's recruitment to gender identity. simple. describe 99% of children broadly, tell them it's 'their gender identity', show a pretty flag .... and so it begins

Ah, maybe I can identify as a girl and ace for a week, get some nice attention, could use it at the moment.

I saw this tweet and was disturbed and horrified that Girl Guiding thought this was in any way appropriate for a children’s organisation.

My daughter was a Brownie and had a very positive experience - and the reason I was keen for her to take part was because the group was a safe space that allowed the girls to do age-appropriate activities without any pressures.

To me this Tweet really rang alarm bells. What does a Guide leaders sexuality have to do with anything? Why should this be discussed with children?

It’s a shame as Brownies and Guides should be a fantastic space for children and young women, but I would be concerned about what is being discussed in the groups. To be honest I haven’t rushed to sign my youngest child up.

Barf

Because they get their kicks from the hurt they cause and the life ruined rather than from a sexual thrill.

And as we know supposedly straight men can rape gay (or straight) men. I guess I've always thought they were closeted gay men but they could well just be straight and cruel.

They are in Extracurricular.

Never seen a GG leaders group on MN! Where on the site are they, I've looked but can't see them?

Most guiding groups on fb just delete any posts on this issue. If you persist, you are banned from the group.

I know some people have posted our article in their guiding groups and there has been no response. People just do not want to see it. Shocking really

There is a GG leaders group on MN. I posted the article there. Will see if anyone there wishes to engage.

Sometimes I feel people are as thick as mince and will refuse to see the issue because they are so deep in a entrenched view. It is not a personal attack on whether someone is of any sexual orientation, it is the point of discussing it with children and ensuring safeguarding is able to be fully adhered to.

Good piece from. Ssa

The ratio. My god the ratio!

I couldn't find a single reply in support.

Sorry there's a random black line on that flag. It knew I was taking the piss

Here's your flag. Now you too can be part of the queer community
