Should I stay and fight from the inside?

I have spoken out on FB about the Girl Guides policy and that I am withdrawing my daughter from GG because of it. We are in Victoria, Australia and the policy has just come out into the open but I have been following the UK news about it all as I am from there.
Anyway....My brother says ...meh, it's just the way it us now and get used to it so my girl can enjoy GG.
My dad reckons I should let Dd stay in GG and fight the policy from within.

I am also very mean for putting my views before my daughter's enjoyment of GG.

I don't really know what to do.
All the women on my fb are silent.

How old is yr daughter & how does she feel about it all?
Has she any residential trips coming up?
Can you be slightly more involved & keep an eye on things?
Good luck.

Is this actually a policy that's being introduced worldwide?

First and foremost is your DD being put in harms' way? If you consider she is ie you won't be notified if a trans kid is in the same group for camping etc, then that has to be your call as a parent

Secondly, as the UK experience has shown, GG pay no attention to insiders and guide leaders, only woke full-timers in head office so the only thing that works is bad press - so are you prepared to go to the media etc about this?

If no to both then stay. If yes to both or either, then be prepared to leave but take action first. Really all of these organisations only respond to a stink and it's down to whether you have the time and energy to create one collectively with other parents ie build consensus before striking.
