https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/uks-girl-scout-group-has-banned-trans>The United Kingdom’s Girl Guiding—the United Kingdom’s member organization of what Americans know as the Girl Scouts—has banned transgender girls from joining, marking yet another cruel and creative way that anti-trans antagonists have found to dehumanize children.>This comes after months of pressure from right-wing gender extremists to pull the trigger on the ban. An April Supreme Court ruling in the United Kingdom, funded in large part by anti-trans activist J.K. Rowling, overturned equal rights and protections for trans women under the Equality Act (2010). By deciding that trans women were no longer women, the Supreme Court took away any legal protections otherwise afforded to other women and girls.>“Following April’s Supreme Court ruling relating to sex and gender, many organisations across the country have been facing complex decisions about what it means for girls and women and for the wider communities affected,” the announcement reads. It says that they consulted stakeholders and “legal experts” for “detailed considerations.”>“Trans girls and young women, and others not recorded female at birth, will no longer be able to join Girlguiding as new young members.”>Girl Guiding added that they would assemble a task force in the coming months to explore further legal options for “inclusion.” Transgender boys will still be allowed to join.
