"I don't see anything wrong with it."

Those pint-sized radical feminists also known as the Girl Scouts are in trouble again — this time for their transgender-inclusion policy — and they’ve wasted no time in shutting down the haters. Though the national organization has formally accepted transgender girls into its ranks since 2012, it seems one conservative organization has either just heard the news or has been stewing about it ever since.
“A new Girl Scouts of America (GSA) policy states it will extend membership to boys who identify as girls,” notes the website of the American Family Association, a Christian-morals organization that’s been labeled an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. “This means girls in the organization will be forced to recognize and accept transgenderism as a normal lifestyle. Boys in skirts, boys in make-up and boys in tents will become a part of the program. This change will put young innocent girls at risk.” The AFA then invites people to join the 38,000 who have so far signed its petition against the Girl Scouts’ policy.
The Girl Scouts, meanwhile, were quick to fire back in this latest chapter of its transgender-policy saga. “Girl Scouts has valued and supported all girls since our inception in 1912. There is not one type of girl. Every girl’s sense of self, path to it, and how she is supported is unique,” wrote developmental psychologist and Girl Scouts’ “chief girl expert” Andrea Bastiani Archibald on the GSA blog. “If a girl is recognized by her family, school and community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.

"Yeah - I'm joining your troop.
"First thing, my assigned name at birth was Daniel, but now I just identify as 'Danny' - short for Danielle. But I go by Danny. Anything else I will consider a trigger.
"I identify as female, but I reject socially-imposed standards of what constitutes 'female' clothing. I wear Chucks, jeans, GTA t-shirts and a Redskins cap.
"Not only do I identify as but I am also attracted to females. Remember, I'm just a teenager and I'm still getting adjusted to my feelings. So if I make inappropriate comments and date a lot of the other girls in the troop, I expect understanding and not criticism.
"I hope we understand each other, scoutperson. Thanks for being such a good role model. Now get me some milk and some Do-Si-Dos."
Same here... I just say, “I can no longer support your organization.” The girls don’t get it and the parents just say, “Thank you.” I believe there has been some training. Anyway, I hope to never get into a confrontation with a parent, but if I do, I won’t back down and I will mention abortion support as my reason. Let the parents explain that one to little Susie.
Google “Hitler can’t find Girl Scout cookies”.
Anyway, fifty years ago we in the Boy Scouts knew there was something wrong with Girl Scout camp counselors. They looked so...mannish.
By 1975, GSA had been feministicized. Their ads said to girls “Who needs boys? Sisterhood is everything.”
"I don't see anything wrong with it."
Yup. Science as we know it is dead in the US.
I can tell you the day it died too. Remember when we spent a billion dollars digging the hole to put the Superconducting Supercollider in Texas? They decided not to go through with it, and spent a billion filling the hole back in.
Top flight science got tickets for Europe that very day. Now they work at CERN.
Same here. If mom stayed on the porch I’d tell her though but they usually are a distance away watching.
And as a magic monkey-elf pirate on Mondays.
Geez, Louise... how many restrooms do they have for you?
I didn’t know about that. Boy is that a heartbreaking story. I wonder what the reason was for not going through with it
I’m sure our enemies are indeed taking note of our decay. I used to just think all these global bad actors would primarily be looking at Obama’s final two years as an open window to pursue their nefarious designs.
But I believe it’s beyond just that at this point. They can now see our weakness not just in our inept and pathetic leadership, but as a wholly degraded people and a society.
I just watched a pro life demonstration in Austin, TX. And like clockwork, the commies showed up to block the signs. They hate free speech.
Nope, no bias here.
Damn those breeders...
The national-level Boy Scout and Girl Scout bureacuracies need to disappear. Individual groups of boys and girls (their parents, actually) need to organize without being attached to a higher organization.
Ok so these groups can’t call themselves Boy Scouts or Girl Scounts. Who gives a flip?
Democrat Congress, if I recall correctly. I’m sure there was more to it than that.
[ “There is not one type of girl.”
Yes and no. There are many differences but all are xx. ]
Some are XO too, it is called Turner Syndrome and I have a cousin that has it.
There is also a syndrome called CAIS and they are XY buy due to a malformed SRY gene and they don’t find out until puberty that they are XY.
But those are all exceptions.
The war on free speech and free thought continues
Proverbs 32:7 spare the rod, spoil the wife. A disobedient wife has no one to blame but her husband, had he loved her he would have disciplined her, for the man that spares the rod on his wife, does not love her, but is trying to be her best friend instead of her lord and master.
[ I stopped buying Girl Scouts cookies a few years back but I just don’t have the courage to tell the *girls* why.Perhaps I should write Headquarters and ask them to relay the message to the girls. ]
I stopped buying cookies long ago due to their ties to un-planned un-parenthood.
[ Some 13 year old boy should join up and tell the scoutmistress (scoutperson?):
“Yeah - I’m joining your troop.
“First thing, my assigned name at birth was Daniel, but now I just identify as ‘Danny’ - short for Danielle. But I go by Danny. Anything else I will consider a trigger.
“I identify as female, but I reject socially-imposed standards of what constitutes ‘female’ clothing. I wear Chucks, jeans, GTA t-shirts and a Redskins cap.
“Not only do I identify as but I am also attracted to females. Remember, I’m just a teenager and I’m still getting adjusted to my feelings. So if I make inappropriate comments and date a lot of the other girls in the troop, I expect understanding and not criticism.
“I hope we understand each other, scoutperson. Thanks for being such a good role model. Now get me some milk and some Do-Si-Dos.” ]
I like the idea of force feeding their own bitter medicine!
Why can;t a 43 year old crusty man with a long beard join, I mean wouldn’t be age and sex choice discrimination to deny them entry????
That is really good.
