4w.pubUK: Women Reported to Police for Raising Safeguarding Concerns with GirlGuidingWomen worried about a man posing as a dominatrix working with girls contacted by police.

In November last year, The Daily Mail revealed that a trans identified male in a senior role at Girlguidling had been posting disturbing photos of himself on social media.

Since 2017 Girlguiding has had a ‘trans inclusive’ policy. It allows boys who believe themselves to be girls to be members. Even more alarmingly, it allows intact adult males to be Girlguiding volunteers if they ‘identify as female’ (or claim to).

Furthermore, any trans-identified male, member or volunteer, can count on Girlguiding to conceal their true sex. Consequently, parents could drop off their child for an overnight trip with no idea whatsoever that their daughter will be sharing a bathroom and sleeping quarters with a boy or be in the charge of an adult male.

When long-standing Girlguiding leaders, Helen Watts and Katie Alcock, dared to challenge this lunacy, they were expelled from the organisation. Girlguiding categorically denied its policy posed any safeguarding risk to the girls in its care.

(You can listen to Helen Watts’ conversation with Graham about this unbelievable state of affairs here.)

Of course, Girlguiding is a member of Stonewall’s diversity champions scheme and, according to its own website, was influenced by Stonewall and Gendered Intelligence in the development of its ‘trans inclusive’ guidance.

58-year-old bus driver, Monica Sulley, was appointed as a Girlguiding divisional commissioner for Southwell in Nottinghamshire in July 2021. He oversaw all branches of the organisation; brownies, guides, rangers and even rainbows, the youngest Girlguiding section whose members are just 5-7 years old.

No male, however he identifies, would be an appropriate choice for this role. But this male posted photographs of himself toting a rifle, flaunting his ‘boobs’ and posing in a leather bondage dress while brandishing a whip and saying ‘Mistress will have to punish you’ on a public forum.

Not surprisingly, when this story broke, Girlguiding attracted numerous complaints about its policy and the grave safeguarding concerns it raises.

Please read our detailed #safeguarding concerns regarding @Girlguiding’s recent conduct. We will be sending these to them, as requested & asking that they meet with us to discuss them. @GirlguidingCEO @Baroness_Nichol @LordPhilofBrum @Baronessjenkin

safeschoolsallianceuk.netGirl Guiding and Asexuality - Safe Schools Alliance UKWe have serious safeguarding concerns over the decision by Girl Guiding to ‘increase awareness of’ asexuality via their social media posts.

Girlguiding made a statement about its ‘rigorous recruitment procedures’ and claimed to be ‘looking into this as a matter of urgency’…

Girlguiding @Girlguiding

The safety and wellbeing of our members is our absolute priority. We follow rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures, have clear policies, and a volunteer code of conduct which volunteers are expected to follow to keep our members safe. We are aware of concerns raised. 1/2

…But then never mentioned the subject again.

And now this.

Parents who have raised concerns with Girlguiding about a senior leader with a social media profile involving sex and guns have seemingly been reported to the police for 'transphobia', because the leader is a male who identifies as a woman

reduxx.infoPolice Contacting Those Concerned About Trans Girlguiding LeaderUK Police forces have been contacting parents and members of the public expressing concerns over the appointment of a biological male with a disturbing social media history to a senior position within the UK Girl Guides Franchise. Monica Sulley, a male who identifies as a woman, became the lead Comm…

It has been alleged that people who complained to Girlguiding about Monica Sulley’s appointment have been contacted by the police.

Cassandra M Day @MDayCassandra

Has anyone else had any problems after emailing Girl Guides with objections re: Nottingham and new appointments? I heard from a friend that a police force had been in touch for a 'friendly chat' and I wondered how many more had been contacted?...

Several women have allegedly been reported over emails they sent to Girlguiding concerning the organisation’s ‘trans inclusive’ policy.

Cllr Nina Killen @NinaKillen

A friend wrote to @Girlguiding to raise safeguarding concerns about Monica Sulley, a guide leader who posed with gun on social media. My friend was threatened with arrest for malicious communications and has attended police interview. Solicitor could hardly believe it.

Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2

🧵1/ Have you complained to Girl Guides or similar and been threatened by the police with arrest / "being spoken to"? This thread is a brief primer on some of the law in this area. The police have no lawful power to interfere with lawful free speech.

Nina Killen reported that her friend emailed the Southwell Girlguiding, Monica Sulley’s branch, and the matter was then subsequently passed on to the cops.

Cllr Nina Killen @NinaKillen

@forevershallon @Girlguiding It was an email written to Southwell Guides, where Monica Sulley is a leader, so may have been read by Sulley themselves and then passed to the police by Sulley. Possibly a misgendering complaint. There was absolutely nothing malicious in the email.

Naomi Cave revealed that Girlguiding instructed her to email them instead of via social media.

Naomi Cave @naomicave

@Jebadoo2 They direct messaged me encouraging me to email them not use twitter! I thought nothing of it at the time and didn't get round to it due to being busy but very glad I didn't knowing they were reporting those who did raise legitimate concerns. Doesnt seem so innocent now.

Monica Sulley still appears on Nottinghamshire Girlguiding’s website in the ‘meet the team’ section.

Furthermore, a source sent me the screenshot below. It is a comment by Monica Sulley (who now calls himself Taylor on some social media platforms) made in a Facebook group. He states, “I was to have resumed all of my Guiding roles this morning”.

Take your daughters out of Girlguiding now. Because if this man, who ostentatiously advertises his fetishes in public, can be given carte blanche to behave with impunity, imagine what the cautious, quieter men could be getting away with.
