Like the Girl Guides in the UK have banned trans girls from being a member of the Girl Guides.

Like, what the fuck, guys?

It's insane.

Like, this is insane.

You're talking about children?

You're going to ban them from the Girl Guides?

Like, why?

It just...

I'm just horrified by all of it.

Like there is there is a report in The Observer that is just heartbreaking about the impact of the Girl Guides ban.

And it includes the story of a six year old trans girl who tried to cut off her penis with plastic scissors after being told she couldn't join Rainbows, which is like the juniorest, I think the most junior level of Girl Guides ban.

Like what?

So her parents spoke to the paper and said that, you know, she had been told that their daughter would be treated like any other child.

The father said she felt really included and absolutely enjoyed it.

For the next couple of hours, she wouldn't stop talking about it.

Two weeks later, in December 2025, Girlguiding announced it was going to ban trans girls and women from joining the organization as new members.

A response to the UK Supreme Court's April 2025 ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.

just heartbreaking this father found out through another parent who had to tell his daughter that she wasn't allowed to go back she's six she is six like what difference would it make it's just horrifying and like it's you know there's so much going on in the world that would make you bang your head against the wall and kind of wonder what anyone is thinking but this is one of the things that just really I will never be able to get my head around like

The damage it does, the untold harm, the lives lost as a result of this, it's just sickening.

And for what?
