“I question the energy that is being dedicated to harming vulnerable people and children rather than tackling the much bigger and very real risks facing women and girls.” A Brownie parent tackles Girlguiding banning trans girls: “It is an attack on children.” www.independent.co.uk/voices/girlg...

independent.co.ukThose who back banning trans girls from Girlguiding need to look at Brownie Law...which clearly states: ‘A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself’ – something that seems to have been forgotten in making the decision to ban trans girls from Girlguiding.

“Neither (my daughter) or I have ever had any issues with who was allowed to come along. We were proud of Girlguiding as an inclusive organisation. More importantly, it has until now been a total non-issue day-to-day.”

“Male volunteers are welcome at Girlguiding, which remains a positive thing. This makes it an attack on the trans community specifically, not a bolstering, safeguarding policy designed to protect girls.“

“That this news came out on the same day as the Sarah Everard inquiry’s latest report into violence against women puts all this in focus. There are myriad risks for women moving through the world. The evidence is clear that trans people and trans children represent a negligible percentage.”
