Guides UK have gone full TERF. This breaks my heart. If you're a girl or volunteer who is being unjustly expelled, or if you cannot tolerate that your friends or trans women and girls more generally are being expelled, please consider joining scouts, you'll be welcome and treated with the respect you deserve. Scouting could do with a better gender balance and if it didn't happen before it is only because many girls chose guiding.

@CartyBoston You realise that is America and I am talking about the UK? If you are just going to google to prove someone wrong on the internet for the sake of it, at the very least do your fucking homework.

@jesusmargar Yes, I said "here".

I was a Scout and proud of it, I didn't have to Google anything, I watched it happen, it was tragic.
