Trans girls have until 6th September to leave the girlguides UK.

Let me rephrase that.
Girlidguides UK are about to lose a shit ton of members.

To the parents of heartbroken girls... join the scouts, support your local Scouting groups, inclusivity for the win.

Is this an appropriate time to launch my alternative to the GirlGuides and Brownies?

It's a veiled (so not based around "gender") young feminine-self-presenting club with an all-in-black clothing code.
Activities include :- cooking, cleaning, stripping rifles, handling hazardous materials, talking all four legs off a donkey, dismantling the patriarchy and accountancy.

Name?
Um. How about ... "Shadowkids"?
Too formal.
"Vydovy Shahidka" it is then. 👍

("Scottish Widows" is already taken. 🙁)

This is harder than I thought it would be.
Surely no young femmy will want to be in a club like this 🤔 ..?

@miguelpergamon I remember being a brownie at age 5. I was too young to even notice it was a closed gig. It got very boring very quickly for me and I didnt last.
These days, the only time I accept a uniform is to pay my rent. There's only one worthy uniform and that's the cloak humanity. It comes in all shapes and sizes, colours etc. It's very versatile. A unisex , one size fits all kind of costume you might say. I'll stick with that.
