feels like openness and honesty many german "flinta" things (women, lesbian, inter, non binary, trans, agender) could use/take for an example. like yes, absolutely welcome, but expect to be comfy around something thats still centered around fem experience, but like, not in a weird excluding way but just straight up saying what they offer
@staringatclouds I was running the same thoughts through my mind today. The UK seems to want to become a pariah state for any international trans folk.
@hellomiakoda Yes, they are an equivalent outside the US. The UK organization just banned trans girls from participating, so this is the Canadian branch responding to that.
The shame should be at the feet of #Starmer and the #Labour party.
The Girl Guides in the UK felt they had no other legal option but to turn away kids not born biologically female. They made it clear that they were unhappy to have been put in this position having long had a history of welcoming trans, non-binary and intersex members.
It’s good to see the inclusive nature of other countries Girl Guiding organisations…hopefully one day we’ll go back to joining them.
@JaxVent Thanks for that. I'm so sad what is going on there, I feel it so deeply.
Well love overcomes hate, but sometimes it takes a helluva long time, and the UK is dead set on recreating the gay panic of the 70-80s but here and now in the 2020s

Als Antwort auf Natasha 🇪🇺 • • •So, girl guides is an international organisation
Anyone know what the other countries, apart from Canada, stance is on trans kids is ?
Is the UK the only chapter that's dumped it's trans members ?
If so, does that affect their international group membership ?
For example, I assume they visit each other ?
So what happens if Canada sends a group to the UK & includes trans kids ?
Sorry for all the questions

As well as the recent spate of court cases against companies that have trans inclusive policies
Qualms.
