        Sorry but this does not feel right. My daughter loved brownies and @Girlguiding. I was completely relaxed about safeguarding because everyone is female. Completely changes things for me. We all know that predators will try anything to get close to children.

        Have they completely lost their minds? Young girls on a camping trip with grown men who 'identify' as women... what could possibly go wrong?!! The world's gone mad.

        Trnswomen are not adult human females, so theyre not women. Theyre males.

        By "trans inclusion" I assume you mean letting in grown men in dresses. What could possibly go wrong?

        So trans people were never children? Or you can't accept them as human?
