Meeting with Girlguiding to express my concerns around their self-ID policies

[AJNorthWest]

Hey all, I posted ages ago to share my experience of raising concerns with Girlguiding. I got lots of support then from other leaders and parents of girls - thank you!

I now have a scheduled meeting with the CEO for later this month and I would like to ask if anyone would like to submit any of their own concerns for me to pass on. I intend on handing over a pile of printed letters of concerns, anonymous or not, to highlight that my concerns are not in the minority.

I will be talking about the incorrect language they use throughout their website and policies, along with the safeguarding implications of using unclear language and having unclear policies that revolve around keeping biological boys and men happy, with no regard for the girls and women.

I know many women share the same views but are scared to speak out, or HAVE raised concerns and been shut down. If you'd like to add your voice to mine please feel free to send me a message.

@Rightsraptor the heavy make up and likely use of soft-focus filters does beg the question…

I disagree 100% with the GG philosophy and having been a member, guider and parent I now have nothing to do with the movement at all due to their approach. I believe GG numbers have fallen and will to continue to fall - in my view they need to rethink and readdress these issues and listen to what their members and those who have left are saying

Yep. Me too. Any organisation which confuses sex and gender and pretend to be single sex when it's mixed is not a safe place for children to be.

@AJNorthWest are you able to share the outcome of your meeting please?
