Woman. Lover of black cats and fancy hats. Vindicated. Not so gender critical my brain has fallen out. Perhaps Girlguiding will reinstate my membership now?

@fancyhatslady @Girlguiding @wontsomeonethi2 Now we need to make the Scouts a single sex organisation again. Boys also deserve their own spaces. 3.8K views · 179 likes · 2 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →

And don’t forget that until placed under pressure from the press, back in 2018/19 Girlguiding was routinely excluded girls who, for whatever reason, did not have a “girl” gender identity.

Anyway, it only took 8 years, but we did it! And it would never have happened without Katie, the other guiders, Fair Play for Women, countless mumsnetters, all the women who were on to GGHQ before me, the feminists and lawyers who got our arguments right, and supporters. 5/5 8.3K views · 927 likes · 41 reposts · 17 replies Open on X →

The concept that some boys (provided they had a particular gender identity) could be members but not others was a farce that undermined GG’s previous position that it would remain single sex, in the face of pressure to become mixed, because members valued an all female group. 3/ 11K views · 765 likes · 34 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

As of today, @girlguiding is back to being a single sex association for girls (and women leaders). Almost 8 years to the day that Katie @wontsomeonethi2 and I were expelled for holding, as it turned out, beliefs that were entirely consistent with U.K. equality law 1/ 163.2K views · 6K likes · 830 reposts · 121 replies Open on X →
