What a difference these spaces make to girls
Ashley Louise James is resigning as Girlguiding ambassador.
Yes, these spaces make a difference to girls. What about these spaces makes a difference to girls? The fact that they don’t include boys. Boys can bully or intimidate or out-compete girls in ways that are generally out of reach to girls. That means girls need to be away from boys at times in order to do their best work.
The fact that boys are every bit as bright, joyful and deserving as any other child is beside the point. The point is that boys are not every bit as strong as girls: they are stronger.
It’s not entirely true that boys who claim to be trans girls, and their families, never asked to be part of the “culture wars” over whether or not it’s fair for boys and men to invade all spaces for girls and women on the pretext that they are trans. Nobody forced them to invade all spaces for girls and women on the pretext that they are trans. Lots of people asked them not to.
The thing is, the unfairness of it is obvious. The pro-trans ideology team pretends it isn’t, but of course it is. Why are there not women clamoring to be included in men’s football? Everybody knows why. Now apply that to all the sports.
The fact that the trans communinny simply want to live their lives, be included, and have access to safe, supportive spaces shows that they know the girls’ side is safer and more supportive – and they want to help themselves to that. By doing so, they make it much less safe and supportive for its original members – the girls. Girls are not shields for boys.
She’s stepping down? Good. Let’s hope her successor knows what a girl IS..
And as for her “heavy heart”, I’ll set that against the relief of girls and parents who had to endure the destruction of what should have been a female only space for themselves and their children, which she so heartlessly encouraged and carried out. If she’s mourning the end of a horribly misguided, misogynistic “inclusion” that meant boys were allowed into girls’ spaces, then it’s clear she never truly understood what her position and its responsibilities actually entailed, and she should have never been in it in the first place.
It seems there’s a lot of ‘what about these poor young trans girls, they’re as deserving as any other child to do fun stuff and enjoy themselves and learn’ – yes of course they are. So please sign them up to mixed-sex activities and clubs, or activities and clubs that the other boys are doing, so they can continue to have these experiences.
“stand with my trans sisters”
and her capacitors and diodes and inductors… ?
