Girl Scouts
I’m sure that everyone knows about the recent developments involving the movement to boycott Girl Scout cookies just because troops accept transgendered children.
But I’m a Girl Scout. And it shames me that ANYONE would protest acceptance. If a troop doesn’t have a problem with it, then there is no problem. If a troop does have a problem with it, then they’re a bunch of narrow-minded bigots, and the child in question most likely dodged a bullet by not joining that troop.Just sayin’.
I love being a Girl Scout. I love having a group to talk to, go on trips with, laugh with. We’re a loving group. We live by the Girl Scout promise, or we try, at all times. That’s what being a Girl Scout is, not just having a vagina or breasts. Being a Girl Scout isn’t about exclusion, it’s about community, and caring, and trying to better the world.
Taylor, the girl promoting boycott of girl scout cookies, said something to the effect of “I want girl scouts to be an all-girl experience”. For the record, if you admit transgendered children, it still will be. They’re girls just as much as anyone.
What I’m trying to say is, could we please stop the bigotry, exclusion, and idiocy? Could we please just live and let live, include and be included? That’s all I want for this world. So, please.
Oh, and buy GS cookies, by the way.
