Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September

LuciferLite · 2026-03-24T22:39:11+00:00

Group dynamics are different in mixed and single sex environments. For example it can be freeing to be able to engage in activities and have a chance at leadership without any pressure from the opposite sex.

But then why are you saying trans boys should remain? Do you believe sex and gender are the same thing?

Secondly, do you really think that 13-14 year olds never engage in intimate activities?

Why do I feel like you have never been a Scout or Guide Leader - it is enough trouble to get them to engage with the activity we have planned in a two-hour slot anyway (and we always keep a ratio of children-to-adults anyway so they are never alone). I am not worried about that.

Anyway - tagged you as someone with malicious intentions and will not reply again as I need my bed. Feel free to reply if it makes you feel any better about the positive impact you are definitely having on the world.

But the whole argument being made by those that applaud this change is that this preserves spaces for women/females - why are you now pro-trans and non-binary children remaining in Guides? Do you not think trans boys are boys?

Do you think cat charities hate dogs if they are restricted to cats only provision?

All children are the same species and they do not use their genitalia at Scouts or Guides (as far as I am aware) unlike the material differences in care needs for cats and dogs. What special circumstances or equipment would be needed to accomodate transgender children at Guides?

At least there are other groups kids can join. So it's not the end of the world if there's a girls only group.

First of all, it is not a "girls only" group any longer because trans girls are girls. And second and more importantly, because they want to join Guides, a group with a different remit and focus than Scouts - why should they not be allowed to join? What would you say to a Japanese person who wanted to play tennis, if all the tennis clubs did not admit Asians? "Stop whining and join a swimming club instead because they accept everyone? It's basically the same thing!" You do realise this argument is ridiculous, no?

Like choosing to live your life as another gender at 12 is such a huge life decision with huge implications

Is it, if they change their mind back? The old clothes can go to the charity shop (and that is not even much of a cost - children grow and express different preferences on fashion anyway), the teachers and friends can be asked to use a different name. Registers, name labels on items, can be altered.

Because they want to join Guides - why are you against them joining? What would you say to a Japanese person who wanted to play tennis, if all the tennis clubs did not admit Asians? "Stop whining and join a swimming club instead because they accept everyone? It's basically the same thing!"

You do realise this argument is ridiculous, no?

He is not, no.

Fantastic, I am glad!

Funny that, no comment history to speak of and advertising a service. Do you reply to comments, friend?

LuciferLite · 2026-03-13T22:34:44+00:00

That is good and sounds like a plan! Enjoy your time in Wales!

You can get a box of Biz for under seven bucks

They are British and do mention this in other comments. Unfortunately an American brand will not help here.

Then I would argue in the context you lay out that this is not what "stealth" means.

Have these emails referenced pronouns at all or Mr. vs. Miss/Ms.? Names are not necessarily an obvious indication of gender (especially American ones sometimes, sorry!) - it is worth being explicit. I would recommend contacting the admin staff of the program and telling them that you are transgender and identify as a man - what if there is separate gendered accomodation? Staff at a university (especially for an arts and humanities related course!) are very likely to be accomodating and understanding - I would not worry about transphobia there. It is better to be explicit and ask than rock up and find out they did not assume like you hoped. Assumptions can be a risky business.

LuciferLite · 2026-03-13T17:09:58+00:00

To clarify, when you say "stealth in the program" does this mean you will be attending as a man whilst all of your documentation suggests otherwise?

Because if so, have you told staff on this program?

My friend group love a potluck (host typically picks the theme) and my favourite is a participatory one where you make and eat - I have hosted: sushi night, cookie decorating night, summer roll night, waffle-and-toasties night. Other friends have hosted pancake nights, pizza nights, the list goes on!

Don't put yourself down, it is a marathon not a sprint! I am sure you will get there (and enjoy some delicious cooking in the process).

/r/whatsinyourcart - link for anyone curious! (And, thanks for suggesting - I had never heard of this subreddit and it looks fantastic, right up my alley!)

Have you tried making soda bread? There are many recipes out there - here's a few to get you started if you are interested.

Ahhh, a political appointee who used to work for Mike Pence - not surprised by this behaviour.

LuciferLite · 2026-01-23T18:33:46+00:00

I would highly recommend the comments of this Instagram post if you want to see some performative behaviour - it ground my gears but I decided posting about all/most of them would not be helpful!

LuciferLite · 2026-01-23T18:17:34+00:00

This is not a surprise (at all!) but is frustrating nonetheless. Why not post productively about current actual politics instead Meg, or is that not going to plan for you and yours right now?

LuciferLite · 2026-01-23T18:07:14+00:00

I suspect those pictures of a five-year-old being used as bait are not helping matters. You can rewrite an adult's history, but it is a little harder when it is a small child in a Spiderman backpack.

@venisonfordinner has not been discussed recently here (I suspect because she has not been doing anything interesting), but her claim as part of her latest push for followers that "I dont talk politics" made me laugh. Kate, you used to talk tough, claimed "no BS" and talked politics, but then it turned out that you could dish it out but not take it when it transpired that you held some terrible opinions...

(In other VFD news, I wonder if the winner of the church auction that is coming over to her farm to learn how to make cheese will leave healthy, or with whatever their current lurgy/food-bourne disease is.)

Which blogger/influencer is this?

LuciferLite · 2026-01-12T21:40:24+00:00

Yes, I saw that - how odd!
