A trans-Identified BDSM fan/gun nut is now a senior leader at Girlguiding

[quote KaleKebab]@TurquoiseBaubles - the uniform doesn't mean a whole lot IMO (unless it's a GG one) as Airsoft players buy their own kit, and said kit is typically military simulation in nature, just like the replica firearms.

Now if said references to violence are against the GG ethos/charter/whatever, then fair enough. All I'm stating is that to my eye/experience, it's less chilling/less likely to put children at any risk than the BDSM stuff.

(Again, all opinions predicated on the pictures featuring Airsoft rifles, as opposed to actual rifles)[/quote]
I think its all linked my former workmates did airsoft they posted pictures of themselves all together with big smiles on their faces at the range or whatever its called arms over the shoulders congratulating themselves on a win etc, they would post pictures of their new kit showing just the airsoft gun on a table or something focusing on the weapon itself.

here you have BDSM pictures and lone person at home aiming a gun, thats painting a narrative of violence and contol fetishism IMHO

It is a GG uniform

KaleKebab, one of the photographs circulating is of this person in uniform holding a gun. If in uniform, it's not a private activity, and gun use or references to violence of any form goes against GG guidelines (and ethos, though the ethics seem to be disappearing rapidly).

This is incendiary. The sooner it is dealt with the better. THIS is why women are angry.

As YetAnotherSpartacus pointed out on the other thread, the response seems to be to remove all references to 'team' from the GG website!

That'll solve the problem

They are probably Airsoft rifles.

It's a competitive game/sport similar to paintballs, heralding from Japan. The rifles, although looking real, fire small plastic balls at regulated safe speeds.

(You could still lose an eye or a tooth, but skin contact is no worse than a bee sting).

Think Call of Duty video game meets paintball. It's pretty innocuous IMO.

(Assuming they are indeed Airsoft rifles)

Plenty of people do it in the UK, so if these photos were dug out of her social media accounts, it doesn't mean that much really.

I'd be more concerned about the publicly shared BDSM stuff myself.

A trans-Identified BDSM fan/gun nut is now a senior leader at Girlguiding
It's one of those sentences that sounds like it's some weird satire, my brain refuses to believe that this is real.

Hmm aren't gg currently being sued by a former leader over the trans policy

is this the end game? get women to shut themselves out of opportunities by fear and intimidation? its what abusive partners do, pressure you out of a job, out of seeing friends etc and then pretend it was your choice.

it all seems similar in terms of tactics, get women to silence and marginalize themselves, the slow drip drip, if you push them out of clubs at a young age that would increase self esteem and confidence. marginalize them at school and make them feel wrong for not conforming to gender stereotypes and shout them down at college or uni for having boundaries and opinions, then you have set them up for a lifetime of low pay and subservience.

I think people should pull their girls out of guides, rainbows and brownies. This is not what guiding leadership should be about.

What the hell

People should remove their girls from GG. You need to hit these people at the core. When you remove them tell them exactly why. They don't listen to emails and letters etc......

I have refused my 2 girls rainbows, brownies and guides as I do not trust these organisations to keep my girls safe.

Does this person have contact with the young people or is it an admin position? Not sure it makes much difference judging by the photos.

Safe Schools Alliance have tweeted photos, one taken from the aforementioned person’s Twitter account, dressed in the uniform, talking about having been helping at the Scout campsite (presumably used not only Scouts) and mentioning what the girls had been doing.

Unbelievable

How good would it be if everyone refused to send their child to guides now

Email sent to the inclusion address given above.

I was not a gg, never even made it to Brownies, but I think an organisation to encourages self esteem and independence in young women is an excellent principle. Unfortunately the GG appear to have lost their moral compass and are now completely lost in the TRA forest.

What next, Ghislaine Maxwell heading up Scouting?

I've complained to GGUK and I have no links whatsoever to them. It's the most basic failure of safeguarding and everyone who cares at all about children should complain also. If allowed to continue this will not end well.

Thread like this make me hope the Daily Mail are lurking about! This story is so mad it's genuinely unbelievable!

But is it a surprise? Sadly no!

Hiding in plain sight!

A teacher who had an OnlyFans account certainly was.

Sorry, posted without comment but the code of conduct and linked policies may be useful to refer to in any complaint. Also links to process.
