Girl Guides and the SC judgement

It was the Girl Guides' trans policies which first opened my eyes to the nonsense. I've just checked their website and they are still saying that trans girls can use girls' toilets and changing rooms, and share accommodation with whoever they want. There's no indication that the policies are gong to be reviewed in the light of the SC judgement. Anyone know any more about this?

Well I've decided haggis is actually from the 3rd declension, like civis.

So the plural is hagges.

Which sounds like the bunch of witches we are.

But is it subject or object? Might the plural be haggos?

Subject. Os could be plural object 2nd declension, but I'm sticking with 3rd.

3rd also gives you the dative plural haggibus. So to or for the hagges on public transport.

It's a winner for me. i am definitely for hagges on public transport as i tend to bring mine back from M&S on the bus.

@user08101988's mysterious "proof" that is so precious and convincing that it has to be kept under wraps has reminded me of this marvellous little video: Two elderly British actors reenact a Youtube comment fight between Justin Bieber fans. : r/videos https://share.google/9UMXgFB3m8nuTephk It still makes me laugh.

This thread has been incredibly useful, in that it has brought this magnificent video to my attention. Thank you for your service @SqueakyDinosaur 🦖

The evidence is clear too. Trans women who have had investigative brain scans show that their brains are basically identical to that of a woman (with slight variation because we are all different).

So men who pretend to be women have exactly the same brains as women except for the bits that are different.

Out of interest, how do they know which peoples brains to scan for the "woman" baseline, to compare to men pretending to be women brains?

a) "Men who self identify as women" are also known as trans women or, even simpler, women. Since GG is for "all girls" (quote from their website) that includes ALL WOMEN.

"Men who self identify as women" are not known as women, except to a teeny-tiny minority. The rest of us known them as transwomen, trans-identified men, or more plainly, as men.

Incidentally, my friend calls her hens her "girls". Should GG accept hens as members, do you think?

b). It is also well documented that trans women do not pose a threat to cis women in women-only spaces.

Bollocks. It is well-known that they do pose a risk, and also that risk is not the only factor - we can have women-only spaces for privacy, for dignity, or just because we want to.

c) If you are going to say "What if they are men and just want to look at little girls in a sexual way?" then should we prohibit lesbians or bisexual women from volunteering

Never in my long life has a lesbian or a bisexual woman verbally abused me, sexually harassed me, or posed any other kind of threat to me.

Thank you for picking up on that slur against lesbians and bisexual women - I'm just catching up on this thread and thought that user08101988 had got away with it.

Sexual abuse of children is overwhelmingly done by men.
Sometimes because they are paedophiles, sometimes because children are just easier to get at than grown women.

There is a small number of women who sexually abuse children, but the subset who are also lesbian or bisexual must be very small indeed. The likelihood of a lesbian or bisexual woman taking up a role in the Guides to 'look at little girls that way' is statistically unlikely, whereas there is sadly a lot of evidence of men becoming sports coaches, teachers, clergymen, etc etc to get access to children.

Thanks Swirly, and Marie
Although we know it is overwhelmingly men who commit these offences (whether trans identified or not) there will be someone along in a minute to say ' but women.....'

And I have never been abused, threatened or harrassed by a lesbian or bisexual woman. Been hugged by quite a few though ☺️
