Girl Guides and the SC judgement

Timefordrama · 22/04/2025 21:15

It was the Girl Guides' trans policies which first opened my eyes to the nonsense. I've just checked their website and they are still saying that trans girls can use girls' toilets and changing rooms, and share accommodation with whoever they want. There's no indication that the policies are gong to be reviewed in the light of the SC judgement. Anyone know any more about this?

Just took a look at that thread - he's now getting taken to pieces simultaneously on two threads, not just one

Ì like to think of them as similar to those fluffy little haggises, two legs shorter than the others, running pointlessly around in circles on a hill.

Please tell me they're like that.

Less fluffy and appealing than a Haggis, and very thin-skinned, but yes, two short legs and endless circling.

Quick note on your language there. "Men who self identify as women" are also known as trans women or, even simpler, women. Since GG is for "all girls" (quote from their website) that includes ALL WOMEN. It is also well documented that trans women do not pose a threat to cis women in women-only spaces. If you are going to say "What if they are men and just want to look at little girls in a sexual way?" then should we prohibit lesbians or bisexual women from volunteering when they are already in a tough spot for volunteers because what if they look at the little girls in the same way.?

Men who self identify as women is more accurate though isn’t it? And men, as a sex class, are the ultimate threat to girls and women no matter what the setting and no matter how many times you try to make ‘cis’ a thing.

Why do support putting little girls at risk with these policies? Only a non-male policy is sensible. No fantasy-pandering.

Oh cool - I haven’t seen a wild Dunning-Kruger in years! The ones in captivity are just so sad.

I'd only seen stuffed ones before and they were rather alarming.

It's not language it is the sex of the person. There are only two sexes - Female and male/

I'd urge you to stop making a fool of yourself but I doubt you will.

And you haven't posted the evidence for the claims you made re brains and stereotypes.

Of course he hasn't. Nor will he. This 'science' can only be shared with special people who know how to interpret the data and don't ask awkward questions.
The school holidays have started, thought i'd just mention that...

So, you are not slow, despite you needing to use an ad hominem to try and win? No facts at all in that statement. I think the liberals win here, honey

They are also letting trans men into GG (Girlguiding) (for unintelligent people who do not understand how language works: someone who were assigned female at birth who transitioned into a man) so they are letting MEN into GG now. Give me evidence that giving young trans girls the space to be themselves (a girl) is so destructive to the cis girls there.

Don't suppose you also want to take any accountability for the insults you've thrown our way during your brief visit here?

Suggest you report your thread and get it moved to this one.

I just feel like this area of Mumsnet is getting a bit off topic. If this was a part of the internet about the validity of trans women, I would've kept going. I feel like it was getting too off topic to continue

Start your own thread with the evidence then.
I think a lot of posters on this board would be interested to see this groundbreaking research.

Absolutely not going to email!
If you have evidence for your claims then post them for all to see and critique.

Thanks for the laughs user08101988. I have greatly enjoyed your posts, what a great parody. well done.

However, in all seriousness, you shouldn't be asking random people to email you. It isn't a wise or safe thing to do.
