"Sulley's appointment came on the heels of a female Girlguiding leader being expelled from the organization on the basis of her beliefs that girls should not be forced to shower or share tents with males who identify as women."

It bears repeating that one of the most vocal, high-profile advocates of girls being forced to share private spaces with boys was ex-MP Eric Joyce. Inevitably, an inspection of Joyce's hard drive revealed exactly why he took such a personal interest in this subject.

It's the perennial question; What sort of person wants to see girls forced to get naked in front of boys? And be forced to see boys naked? We all know the answer, yet a woman can get sacked for acknowledging it, while this male fetishist gets hired.

It is simply not credible that this situation has come about by chance. Who makes these decisions, who benefits from them?

If the senior managers at Girl Guiding are not primarily focused on protecting girls then they should apologise and step down.

ffs what parent is going to leave their daughter in the care of that mess?

I'm going to email them but where do you begin? "Do you think young girls should be guided by a bloke who squeezes his old arse into a leather skirt to share his sexual fetish online?" "Do you think young girls will be inspired by his penchant for posing with guns?"

wtf is going on?

I think we should all write to Girl guiding…this is absolutely unacceptable. WTF happened to safeguarding children? I’m off to find their contact details now.

Minds so open their brains have fallen out, and concerning males can get in.

A ‘wrong ‘un’ as they used to say!

This is the kind of thing that's going to penetrate the consciousness of people who never wondered about the consequences of gender ideology becoming policy. It means something to everyone. But for women and girls, it reinforces how male privilege has been given every liberty. It has everything it always had, now it's taking ownership of spaces and rights we won decades ago, the stuff no one even challenged us over.

Is resisting that transphobia? Only to the people who've managed to rehabilitate and repackage misogyny as progressiveness and inclusivity. And their gullible supporters, the idiots who give men like this unrestricted access to girls and young women.

What the fuck could go wrong?

This is so upsetting. Its everything we've warned about and feared and foreseen. Our poor girls, just fodder for agp blokes. I could weep. But instead I'll get emailing, GG, local safeguarding board, local mp to start with

I'm hoping those are real guns, but only because a tactical firearms squad would be on him in minutes if that were the case. I assume they're imitations, but either way, the mentality of someone being willing to present themselves to the world in both cheery guises with no hint of shame is disturbing. I mean, he's comfy sharing this so what is he not telling us?

And that vacuum cleaner has never done a day's work in its life either. That place looks like Buffalo Bill's gaff in SOTL.

Hmmm... The Queen is the patron of Girl Guides. Does she approve of this senior leader, I wonder

"WTF are Girlguiding thinking?"

1. They weren't thinking and this has either been missed or evaded senior approval.

2. They have thought this through and senior staff approved.

There is not a reality where GirlGuides, Senior managers or Organisation comes out of this clean.

Both scenarios renders the entire organisations vetting, safeguarding and protection of girls as utterly broken.

I've written to Girlguiding in London and also sending a copy to Robert Jenrick, the MP for Southwell.
