Well that was amusing...

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

Don’t sneak it in, just ask!

I suspect that there are many troupe leaders who're quietly ignoring the policy and hoping they don't get caught.

It's such a pity that GG have blown their credibility, because now more than ever their original post is spot on (with the caveat that the women representing women and girls in sport need to be women who know what a woman actually is.)

Heartbreaking, Brownies and Guides were so important to me as a youngun. Queens Guide here ! Was sooooooooooooo proud. They have totally lost focus on who they were formed to serve. My single Mum really struggled, we didn’t have holidays for quite a few years, but our camp holidays we loved them so much. I could cry.

@MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig I'm interested to hear that some Guiding parents still don't know. Please don't slip it in. Please ask directly and complain up the chain (District Commissioner and upwards to GG complaints).

Now that is a satisfying thread

By the way I do still have a hole that needs digging (or is it filling?)

I have been following the Maya Forstater and Harry Miller cases with GREAT interest.

Cases like this just prove to me that there is something or someone very big and very powerful behind this. Otherwise, why would businesses and institutions consistently go against what the public/target market clearly want?

Frightening.

I agree beza

Ooh here's another one that looks like it's heating up!

They are getting the pasting on twitter that they so richly deserve. They are ludicrous.

That has absolutely made my day.

1 in 3 girls told us they don't want to be leaders, as women who speak out are harassed. The women standing in the election are doing so despite the abuse female MPs receive. We need a world where girls feel confident - and safe - using their voices.

The hypocrisy is absolutely mind blowing.

What a head fuck.

They are gloating.
That's the only way it makes sense.

GG are ploppers.

By the way, they DO know what sex is, as they will allow female non-binary children to join but not male non-binary children.

Every single comment calling them out!

We’re going to need a bigger plate.

What's the difference between a male 'nonbinary' child and a male child who wants to be known as a girl? Why is one acceptable as a Guide but the other isn't? Surely that's sex discrimination?

Bonkers isn't it.

No, hang on, it's not sex discrimination, it's gender discrimination. Which isn't against the law (yet!). Or is it? 🤯

On the plus side the more they listen to the tras and the more they pander to the multiple identities , even the activists end up with explanations that completely contradict each other or are incompatible with each other , and people start seeing the.nonsesne for what it really is .

That thread has really cheered me up
