BBC headline: "Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September"

[britporn_mike]

It was pretty obvious after the Supreme Court decision in 2025 that this would happen.


"The organisation that oversees girl guide groups in the UK has said transgender girls must leave the organisation by September.

It follows an announcement in December by Girlguiding that it would no longer allow biological boys who identify as girls to join.

It said the action was being taken in response to the Supreme Court ruling in 2025 that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Campaign group Trans+ Solidarity Alliance described the news as "heartbreaking" for children. Sex-based rights group Sex Matters said it was "the right thing" for Girlguiding to do.

Girlguiding said the timeframe allowed "affected members and their families time to plan, prepare, access support, and decide when - between now and September - they feel ready to leave".

Transgender members of Girlguiding have until 6 September. The organisation said that any transgender girls or women currently volunteering in a role open to women only will need to move to a role that is open to all volunteers.

It is not clear how many people will be directly affected by the rule change, as the organisation says it does not collect data on gender identity.

Girlguiding said its original decision was made to ensure the organisation was "operating lawfully" and was in keeping with its governing charity documents, "which affect how our membership eligibility is defined"."

The right decision, women's sports and activities should be for biological women.

Best idea is start a transwomens organization so they have their own space and freedoms

A win for biologically born women

Just how big a problem is this ????

Less than 1% of the population is transgender and less than 0.1% of that 1% is in the girl guides. So we are talking about a handful of people. My guess is less than 20 kids

I agree, transgenders should NOT be allowed to compete in women's sports but the right is just blowing this up out of all proportion to try and win votes

The problem is trans women started out as a male with usually bigger and stronger bones and muscles dude giving them an advantage in strength and speed against women born as females.
