Almost all paedophiles are male, women commit 2% of sexual crime, and in the case of child sex crime, women almost never ever commit crimes against children in their own right, they usually cover up a crime for a man, act as accomplice to a man (say Myra Hindley) or facilitate these kind of crimes for a man.
Also little girls are 5x more likely to be targeted by a paedophile as a little boy.
Gender ID is law in the states and Canada and there's been a huge spike in crimes against women. I was reading one today where a trans woman (who basically looked like a bloke but said he was a woman) did become a guide leader, he passed the background checks, but was caught out for some pretty horrible sexual crimes against girls.
In the UK where we have sex segregation, 90% of all sexual crime is by someone we know. In India, where they don't have sex segregation, 97% of all sexual crime is opportunist. Paedophiles will go to extraordinary lengths to get unfettered access to children (inc train as a teacher or a priest for instance).
As for the OP, she's talking about SELF IDENTIFICATION of Gender, which is not the same as Transsexualism (which under law in the UK requires a certificate still). The guides have shifted to a policy of Self ID for both members and leaders, despite it not being law in the UK.
This means any man who SAYS he 'feels' like a woman, is a woman, and need provide no evidence of transition. Under safeguarding, he'd be a woman. Parents are not informed if said man as woman goes on a residential with their child.
The Guides are mistaken about the LAW. 'Gender Reassignment' is protected, the current system, whereby a transsexual needs a certificate. 'Sex' is also protected and is the foundation of all women and girls' current legal protection.
Maria Miller (Women and Equalities committee review on transgender) is recommending we throw out 'sex' and replace it with 'gender identity' but it's not law yet. If this comes to pass, it will mean, in effect, that women and girls will be OUTLAWED from gathering anywhere - sports, education, health, intimate care, the WI, toilets, changing rooms, politics, ANYWHERE - as a single SEX.
As 'woman' will come to mean a 'thought' or a 'feeling' any man can have, rather than being a biological reality. This is already happening in women's international sport, as per the IOC new guidelines. It will also mean crimes will be recorded as being committed by a 'woman' if the person who committed it 'identifies' as a woman.
If gender identity becomes LAW it will mean opportunistic men will have unfettered access to women and girls' spaces because he SAYS he's a woman. There will be NO requirement to present any evidence of transition, or anything else. Indeed no requirement to even dress as a woman, let alone 'live as a woman' (whatever that means, watching box sets of Sex and the City and painting your nails or something??)
Essentially the Guides have erased 'girl' as having anything to do with female biology. And if you read the dysphoria criteria for kids, it reads like a 1950s housewife's manual of gender stereotypes. With many gay kids being transed straight by conservative parents. The whole thing is a dog's breakfast.
Being a girl is not a 'feeling deep down inside' it's a biological and material reality. Just ask Malala Yusef, she was not shot in the head because she 'felt' like a girl, but because she WAS a girl. No amount of wishing or wanting would have changed it. There's no escape from male on female oppression, you can't identify out of it.
Where ever you see the words 'gender identity' churned out by trans activists, just replace it with the word 'personality' and suddenly you'll see this notion that you can choose your sex as the lunacy it is.
Being a girl is just biology, that's the beginning and end of it, we should not be teaching girls that there are inherently natural characteristics that go with girlhood, a girl can be anything - in terms of likes, dislikes, hobbies, hair length, interests, capabilities, emotions. And we should not be telling 'effeminate' boys they are girls!
And girls should have space and time away from boys and the male gaze to develop and build their confidence.
And if you've been following the women's march, you'll see that trans activists are protesting the fact that women talked about women's bodies and women's biology (and all the crap things that happen to women because of them, abortion access, rape, prostitution, terrible maternity care etc) - female biology is transphobia apparently.
People need to wake up to the fact that the trans lobby is deeply misogynistic, and we should be protecting girls from a movement that even wants to take away the words they need to talk about their lives and their bodies.
