I think that last point is the most important.

It needs to be made CRYSTAL CLEAR to GirlGuides that the outrage IS NOT about Monica Sulley/Taylor, the outrage is about the policy.

Monica Sulley/Taylor shouldn’t be in that position full stop. The social media, kink and overt aggressive posturing with a gun should ensure that…and I would apply that to a man or a woman in that position.

However the fact they are a trans identified male is a symptom of a dangerous policy that needs to change.

The risk is they think the outrage is about the individual and can therefore fix it by removing Monica Sulley/Taylor from their post without addressing the policy.

Absolutely right, Tom. No male should ever be allowed such a role at Girlguiding. This 'trans inclusion' policy is the perfect Trojan horse for predators and paedophiles. We KNOW men will build entire lives & careers around their ability to access victims, how on earth can Girlguiding be so naive?

And this is the last bastion of Things We Aren't Meant To Notice. That some of the men driving this 'bodily autonomy' thing for kids and this 'men in women's spaces' have their own motivations - motivations that are as old as the hills, but every generation seems to have to forget them and then be reminded. And every woman who reminds about them must be pushed down and accused of something or other to shut them up. This generation, it's 'transphobia'.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

That's what I asked them and reminded them of the situation with Boy Scouts in the U.S.A. who are now paying out big bucks to the survivors of sexual abuse.

Agree, although actually removing Monica would be a good result.

Agree. . . and he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Scouting either. . .
