Guiders FB group "GATE"

[KatieAlcock]

I know there was an open FB group for Guiders who wanted men to stay in Guiding, and I gather there is also a private group but for obvious reasons I will not try to join this!
I wonder if anyone is willing to own up to being a member - I know with most of these groups screenshots are not allowed but it's fairly hypocritical of GG to allow this group to exist when I and two others were investigated for being part of a private group with the opposite opinions.
I also know from those on the previous members' call that any gender critical questions were ignored, which again calls into question their announcement at my settlement that gender critical guiders were welcome in Guiding.

Hi Karie
Im in the same private FB chat as you. It does seem hypocritical - maybe GG don’t know about it.

I'm pretty sure they do know about it because they are meeting with representatives of the group.

slightly off topic but if anyone wants to comment on how Girl Guiding should go about including males here is a link to their survey, you can take part whatever your involvement with GG is (including none)

I did of course begin my answer with my genuine concern for the needs of boys who are confused/unhappy about their sex and how this can best be addressed.
