This post is to bring all mums' attention to the decision by Scouts to let male leaders supervise girls undressing, in bed etc if the men say they are women.
“The head of safeguarding, Steven Maclean, confirmed explicitly that Scouters would be counted as their chosen gender and that a transwoman would count as a female leader.”https://gript.ie/jmg-scouting-ireland-transgender/
No child who has experienced CSA, including by men who say they are trans, would ever feel safe in Scouts under this policy. On twitter the children of transitioners group have raised safeguarding concerns and recommended parents 'read CoTs' submission to the UK government 'self ID' consultation -esp. points 4 & 8'. link here:
