Well that was amusing...

Girlguiding think there should be more women on sports boards.
Twitter has explained the problem to them.

Arse handed to them

I love the fact that someone now has the twitter handle of "Tutting Clownfish."

Wow, they really are exceptionally delusional!

Had a quick scroll, I think it's safe to say they are getting ratio'd.

Funny isn't it that once a Self ID policy is in place no one who benefits from that policy returns to support it and defend the organisation's position. Job done, turns on hell, walks away.

Amazing
Quick scan down showed 100% ratio (admittedly it excluded any with potential offensive content!)
So why do these organisations persist with going against the majority view?! I've got daughters and they'll be going nowhere near guiding until sex-segregation is reintroduced. I imagine lots of parents feel the same way.

Well that was an arse handing and a half.

And so very richly deserved.

The thing is once you sign up to it you can't back track.

I met someone the other day who was a Guide leader or whatever they're called, who spent a lot of her time and energy with the GG to encourage girls to do well - she has just resigned because they let men self id and become leaders. In fact it was part of a group discussion where everyone complained about the ubiquity of trans and how it was changing women's lives for the worse. An enlightening lunchtime!

Good to see those responses.

Oh that’s a beautiful thread of comments. Dear Girl Guiding; just fuck off, no.

Where are all their trans sisters supporting them? 😂

That's it, they are not allowed out of the ideology now they've signed up to it, but now they been conquered the people they were trying to impress have moved on.

I've begun to look on principle at the 'may be offensive content' section, since the day I discovered one had been blanked out as offensive that was nothing but a quoted section of the Equality Act. As usual, there's nothing actually offensive under the 'caution, may be too shocking to read' bit.

Hopefully Guiding have realised that the day they went with their anti female policy was the same day they gave up their historic position of being taken seriously as a representative of girls.

Or Fuck off, just no

I do that too Michelle.

After all, someone memorably got twitter-banned for quoting from Hansard (part of the debate in the House of Lords of the bill which went on to become the GRA).

Actual science and actual law frequently proves to be offensive in the eyes of the twitter-sphere (go Harry the Owl).

Tutting Clownfish 😁😁😁

The so - called offensive content I clicked on was someone asking them to define a woman

love the comment by the brownie leader who said 'I answer to a higher authority...'

Its still up and there isn't a single supportive comment.

Not going too well is it.

I will take the opportunity to add that I am one of many who gg refuse to talk to now. Nice to see them get their arse handed to them.

Isn’t it heartening that so many people now recognise what’s happening? Twitter used to be full of woke crap and virtue signalling on this issue - I’m so relieved to see 100% gender critical comments.
Now we just need GG to do a u turn and get back to safeguarding girls. I won’t hold my breath...

And if they do a u turn are we supposed to trust them with womens rights again.

As delighted as I am to see them getting their arse handed to them the problem is that girls are still left with no safe penis free alternative to what the GG used to be.

That is an excellent thread.

I have to ask though: I understand from context that getting ratio'd means that the majority disagree with you, but I'm unclear on whether there's an actual way to determine this other than glancing down the list can someone advise me here please?

It means the number of replies (from people mostly, or all, disagreeing with the tweet) is way higher than the number of Likes.

Oh god, I didn’t know that GG took that stance. Dd2 has just joined with her best friend and is loving it. They’ve already had one night away and have got another one booked. I’m pretty sure there are no boys in the group at the moment and the two ladies that run it are lovely but I might sneak it into the conversation next time I see them.
