This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: A Texas-based “pro-family” group is calling for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies [pdf] in response to the organization’s decision to allow a Colorado boy who identifies as a girl to join a local troop.

In a video uploaded to YouTube last week, Honest Girl Scouts member Taylor, a 14-year-old Girl Scout from Ventura County, California, reads a statement excoriating GSUSA for “not being honest with us girls, its troops, its leaders, its parents or the American public.”

“Girl Scouts describes itself as an all-girl experience,” Taylor continues. “With that label, families trust that the girls will be in an environment that is not only nurturing and sensitive to girls’ needs, but also safe for girls.”

This isn’t the first backlash GSUSA has seen from its decision in Colorado: Three troops in Louisiana disbanded in December, citing the inclusion of trans girls as the reason.

A boycott of Girl Scout cookies would undoubtedly harm the august organization, as it receives a generous amount of its funding from their sale.

Reached for comment, Girl Scouts spokeswoman Michelle Tompkins told the Washington Post that GSUSA “prided itself on being an inclusive organization serving girls from all walks of life,” and will continue to review “cases involving transgender children on a case by case basis with a focus on ensuring the welfare and best interests of the child in question and the other girls in the troop as our highest priority.”

oh my god i couldn’t even get through this i’m going to be sick or cry i swear

and then i went to bitch them out but of course comments and rating are disabled because THEY KNOW they’ll get shit for this

and so i went onto their youtube page to bitch at them and i see this

“Safety of 2.8 million girls takes precedence over the needs of a handful of boys with special mental struggles.”

SAFETY? THE FUCK ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HAPPENING TO THEM? IT’S NOT LIKE THEY’RE CONVICTED CRIMINALS, THEY’RE KIDS. KIDS. FUCK YOU. 

BOYS WITH SPECIAL MENTAL STRUGGLES? 

Calling them “boys” is just wrong. They identify, and are living as, girls. Just because you didn’t grow a dick before you were born doesn’t mean you’re any different from them, if you want to call yourself a girl, they get the same rights.

SPECIAL

MENTAL

STRUGGLES?????

i have lost so much faith in the world i’m honestly crying this is just not right

On one hand, the Girl Scout troops in Colorado makes me proud to have been a Girl Scout myself. On the other, the troops who are outraged and calling for a boycott on Girl Scouts makes me upset that I was one.

Girl Scouts is meant to promote diversity and, as the Girl Scout Law went, “Make the world a better place”. So how are they suppose to do that when they are denying the rights for these girls to be Girl Scouts?

hate the world. hate everyone. all people are dicks.

 Couldn’t finish the video. I stopped watching as soon as she began her argument about how girl scouts should not be co-ed. Well, they’re not.

Buy. ALL. THE. COOKIES.

I went out and bought six boxes of cookies today.
