Latest on their campaign to include males. Trying to get round the law and their own charitable aims. Girls just aren’t important enough on their own!
From their latest FB post-

“How we’re exploring future opportunities for trans girls and trans women to connect with and be supported by Girlguiding ⬇️

In December last year, our equality and diversity policy changed following the Supreme Court’s decision on sex and gender. Since then, we’ve been making steady progress with the taskforce to explore how trans girls and trans women can connect with and be supported by Girlguiding in the future. Over 3,000 of you responded to our taskforce.

The taskforce is a community of around 500 people with a common interest, who come together to share information, generate ideas and explore different ways of offering support. A big part of the taskforce is our panel of 16 people, including people with lived experience, senior volunteers, members, young people, country and region staff and volunteers, parents and carers and subject matter experts.

The taskforce as a whole is considering over 100 ideas which have been grouped into themes, and the theme being discussed right now is ‘showing support for trans girls, trans women and the trans+ community’. Ideas in this theme include holding events, creating activities and campaigns.

We’ll keep you updated on the progress of the taskforce on social media and our website. See here for more information: https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-for-volunteers/updates-for-our-members/taskforce-updates/.

So unnecessary by GGs. After all the (Boy) Scouts now take girls so there is no reason why trans girls can't go there and still pretend to be girls.

I think it's reassuring that they must be sure they couldn't be doing anything more for young girls. I mean, that must be the case if they're spending time, money and energy working for young boys too, mustn't it?

Oh goodness me, deleted for saying that this reminds me of the WI!

Will Brownie's/ Guides have to have their promise changed to swear allegiance to the rainbow flag/ their trans sisters? And will there be non member events where trans identified boys will be included?

It's such a shame that girls are being told that they still must centre these boys.

Surely there must be other things that would be more important for them to focus on

Childhood shapes everything that follows. The very organisations created to nurture young girls, to give them confidence and curiosity, are now being steered by adults who seem determined to use them as props in a political soap opera.

The people entrusted with safeguarding girls development are the ones undermining it, instead of protecting their childhood, their imposing their own narrow agendas on them, it's sickening.

All it says is that they have "lived experience" so - men then.

Yeah because god forbid girls being allowed something just for them and not wasting time and resources to think of ways boys can be included

16 people on the task force, wonder who they could be?
