Lost guides
Girl Guides have put out an absolutely disgusting apologetic misogynistic statement.

Following April’s Supreme Court decision relating to sex and gender, many organisations across the country have been facing complex decisions about what it means for girls and women and for the wider communities affected.
Complex shmomplex. It’s not complex at all. Boys are not girls: get out.
Girlguiding’s governing charity documents set out that the membership and people who benefit from our organisation are girls and women. The Supreme Court ruled that girls and women are defined in the Equality Act 2010 by their biological sex at birth.
Because what the fuck else would they be you dribbling loonies?!
God I’m sick of this playing dumb pretend confusion fantasy disbelief. These are adults; they haven’t been steeped in trans ideology their whole lives; they know perfectly well that boys are not girls. They’re putting on this ridiculous bewildered act because they have somehow convinced themselves that boys who dislike being boys matter far more than mere girls.

In other words the court had to go to the trouble of ruling what everyone already knew. No depth of misery at being a boy can make a boy into a girl. That’s not how this works. No depth of misery at being a human can make a human into a giraffe or a bat or a flea or a hummingbird. Wishes can change some kinds of reality, but not all kinds.
Following detailed considerations, expert legal advice and input from senior members, young members and our Council, the Board of Trustees for Girlguiding has made the difficult decision that Girlguiding must change, following the Supreme Court’s ruling.
From today, 2 December, it is with a heavy heart that we are announcing trans girls and young women will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community.
What a pack of shits. They’re in anguish because they can’t keep on ruining Girl Guides for girls.
Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups.
So, what if you were an organization for children with physical handicaps? Would you allow children with zero physical handicaps to join, with the result that children with physical handicaps would no longer have an organization for them? Would you just ignore the whole point of having that specific kind of organization, which is to provide children who are in some way disadvantaged with a place where that disadvantage no longer applies? If so, WHY???
I suspect that among “the wider communities affected”, yapping TRAs are greatly overrepresented.
I’m just glad that they’re listening to the law, and not trying to do civil disobedience.
I think even adults who have successfully convinced/confused themselves into believing that sex categories are gloriously complex and flexible remember enough to know perfectly well that people who still believe boys are not girls aren’t motivated by hate. They weren’t motivated by hate back then, were they?
“Boys are not girls” is not like saying to “girls with boy bodies are the wrong sort of girls, we look down our noses and we hates them.” It’s equivalent to “boys are male.”
After all, that’s what laws are for. I don’t care if you don’t like the law; I’m just glad you’re obeying it.
Sastra – I don’t think they let themselves remember enough to know perfectly well that people who still believe boys are not girls aren’t motivated by hate. They block that memory before it can trouble them. The Freethought Blogs gang certainly gave a good performance of thinking I was motivated by hate.
Ophelia –
Yes, they ought to have remembered that there was no hate back then, so it’s not likely there is now, is it? I was also accused by various blog gangs of being motivated by “hate”, despite a longterm history of being a milquetoast on virtually every other topic, and then responding to these accusations in the same namby pamby style. All I did was remain constant throughout and not recant. Yet it was as if they picked up a script and I was a new character. The silly geese.
Everyone certainly knows who is a girl or woman when selecting organizations to invade. They know very well which are girls and women when they cheat to push the girls’ and women’s faces in the dirt in every single sport for girls or women. They know just who — girls and women — will be intimidated by their presence in toilets and changing rooms designated exclusively for girls and women. They know very well that their dogmas are particularly hostile to women and girls; that’s the fun. That’s the whole point. It’s like rape by a thousand cuts. They certainly know who they want to rape, figuratively and literally.
Sastra – milquetoast???? You? You’re more a bar of steel when it comes to making good arguments as opposed to shouting.
I’ve seen a screenshot that made me laugh. I think it’s from the Girl Guides’ account on Bluesky as I don’t see it on Twitter; anyway they prefaced that announcement with this:
Please take care when reading!
Oh, lordy. And this organization is supposed to help girls gain self-reliance? Learn how to survive in the wilderness, even?
P.S. I second Ophelia’s response to Sastra!
