I know this post means well, but making out conversion practises are a thing of the past when more psychological conversion practises are being inflicted on trans kids by the NHS in 2025 really is not helpful.

It serves only to conceal the abuses happening *right now*.

🤍 We stand with every family affected by the Girlguiding policy change

What happened to this young girl is not an abstract policy debate. It's a child who was excited to be part of Rainbows with her friends, tried her sessions, loved them, was ready to join. Now she's been told she doesn't belong.
Parents of trans people speak out... “My daughter has just done some trial sessions with the Rainbows as she has some friends that attend and she loved it. We are in the middle of arranging a legal name change and we were waiting for that to be sorted before we registered her. But today we were told that she can’t sign up now...

Excluding trans children is pointless cruelty - and Girlguiding has set a dangerous example | LBC
When a charity as large and well-resourced as Girlguiding folds so quickly, it sends a signal to others that excluding trans people is the path of least resistance, writes Melissa Dee

I was reading an interesting post on FB about the GG and WI situation. Essentially both have been secretly fighting legal action from anti trans groups for a little while and they can’t afford to continue, according to the post. Well funded TERFs are forcing their hand.
G Sabini-Roberts • Follow ... 1h • Q I need to drop a post here today to expand on the goings on yesterday. Yes, the decisions by Girlguiding and the Women's Institute are awful, but yesterday, as the dust settled and more information leaked out, a different picture started to form. It's important we all understand that new picture so then the righteous anger we all feel can be directed where it actually needs to go. We now know that both GG and WI have been fighting legal battles behind the scenes from attacks by the small but very well funded and vicious anti-trans lobby for some time. Neither organisation has talked publicly about this. I wonder if, at this point, they can't. In both cases, they have now reached a David Vs Goliath moment whereby if they continued to try and fight those legal battles, they as organisations would cease to exist. They would have to put everything into those fights. Fights that they may even win, eventually, because the law on this is still untested and we are still awaiting the outcome of the initial legal challenges against the EHRC back in April. But it would be a long and very expensive fight. You can't win a fight if the fight itself would take more than you have. Regardless of right or wrong. Both these women's organisations do a lot of essential work providing community and support for thousands of women and girls. They have both, yesterday, been forced to bend to the legal challenges they are facing because to continue would mean they could no longer support anyone. And they are, both, working hard to try and find 'alternative' ways to support trans women and girls as a way to keep doing their work in a way that isn't going to kill them in legal fees to fight a vicious and entirely unnecessary attack. And, like I explained yesterday, actually enforcing their new rulings is all kinds of problematic and they don't know how they will do it yet. The way they have gone about communicating those decisions and managing the fallout could have been done infinitely better, true. There are huge lessons to be learned on all of that. But again, they can only learn those lessons if they can stay alive long enough. So if you're writing to your MP, or going to a protest, or discussing this with others and explaining why this is all happening, it's not the organisations that we should be directing our anger at. Or the majority of it anyway. It's the anti-trans lobby. It's she who must not be named. It's the people who, for some still unknown reason, believe passionately that excluding trans women and girls from women's spaces - where they have happily been an unremarkable part of the community for decades - is more important than keeping organisations that support women alive. They believe cis women are safer alone, isolated, with no support network than they are by sharing a village hall with a trans woman. So what do we do now? We lead with that message. If we withdraw from those spaces we make sure that it is known why so we contribute to the evidence gathering showing that the decision to exclude trans women and girls is not a 'proportionate' means to ensuring all girls get the support they need. Because by going so, the membership leaves in droves, leaders step down, groups close. Excluding trans women and girls means that everyone loses. We need that evidence. I'll pop some stuff in the comments to things you can contribute to as I come across it. We need to spread this message. Because yesterday, 'Girlguiding/WI is bad' was an easy headline. Today we know it's far more nuanced. The more people who understand that the less we get drawn into a fighting each other and can collectively focus on fighting that small, angry but very rich minority who have decided that their hate is the only way forward. And sometimes their actions do a very good job of making the rest of us fight each other before recognising it's them who are the real problem. I'm certain that if those legal challenges were withdrawn, both organisations would revert back to being trans inclusive immediately. So let's work to make that happen.

Apparently the decision of the WI to rescind trans inclusion was prompted in part by an internal faction. If I were a cis member of the WI, I would want those bigots named,shamed and shunned.

Aggressively promoting transphobia should have social sanctions applied to it.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

To all those feeing sorry for Girlguiding this morning…they have the cash and could have fought a court case.

Their proclamations of care and concern, dignity and respect are meaningless drivel.

A statement from the Trans Greens regarding a recent decision by Girlguiding to exclude girls and young women who were not recorded female at birth.
A statement on the recent Girlguiding decision. We are incredibly disappointed by this decision, and concerned for the effects it will have on trans Guides, their Guides friends, and Guiding groups. It must be reversed. Girlguiding decided to exclude girls and young women who were not recorded female at birth. This puts a vital support network out of reach for many young women and girls that need it most. They are being robbed of friendships, support and community. They are being segregated. Many of our members were involved in scouting organisations when they were younger; some of us now hold positions of responsibility within those organisations, or have done so in the past. We all recognise the value that Guides brings to children and young people. Historically, Guides has provided safety, support and community for trans girls; girls who are already marginalised and face a high risk of harm. It is clear that this decision is wrong and will have a devastating impact. Girlguiding opposes sexism and misogyny. But it is now following a transmisogynist Court and EHRC. “Whoever they are, wherever they're from, girls can do anything”. We demand Girlguiding live up to its ambitions. Girlguiding must reverse this decision. All girls can do anything. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Please sign the petition and show the brownies and the Guides impacted by this horrific decision that is intended to hurt them that we care and call for girl guiding to reverse its horrible decision to exclude them.

Trans girls are girls, they are kids and deserve our protection not hate.

Trans children denied participation in society because of the Supreme Court and EHRC. To attack us adults is one thing but to attack children is another. The UK needs to lose its GANHRI A accreditation.

Shocked almost to the point of speechlessness by this. How do you still have a career after this?

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I doubt anyone associated with Sex Matters or the gender critical movement will even *acknowledge* that this has taken place, let alone apologise or even defend it.

Trans girl attempts to transition in Victorian London!

This novel is a great Xmas gift for trans people who want to see themselves represented, but also for cis people who want to understand what it actually means to be trans:
A Picture of the cover of To Be A Girl by Alexandra Hamer. The cover is red, with a silhouette of a young woman in Victorian clothes and a cat running. The woman has a cut-throat razor in her hand. The text reads: "A transgender girl's breathtaking fight to survive as herself in Victorian England and to be loved for who she is. Order now from Amazon or your local bookshop. The image includes some snow on the book and some Xmas tree decorations.

Parents asked for evidence of harm. None was given.

Parents ask ICB what “harms” justify accessing their children’s medical data without consent. They were told nothing. “Evidence of harm” is the reason for the investigation, yet no evidence was identified.

When all the while, maybe - just maybe - the EHRC has dug its own grave with its hot mess of transphobic guidance, and this in turn is actually playing very nicely into the hands of the far right. I mean, there’s a more obvious story staring our mates at the guardian right in the face. 4/4
