Cissexist bigot calls for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies, since the Girl Scouts include *all* girls, whether cisgender or not. I say, we have a Girl Scout buy-out instead, where we buy ALL the cookies to show our support for Girl Scouts of the USA's inclusiveness.
Wow. Just… wow.
Taylor, who claims to have been a Girl Scout for eight years, says in the clip. “Girl Scouts describes itself as an all-girl experience. 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.” … She goes on to note, “I am asking you to take action with me and boycott Girl Scout Cookies.” The video eventually concludes with a tagline for the Honest Girl Scouts site, which describes itself as a group “concerned with the alarming choices GSUSA has been making,” and “advocating for a change back to simply building girls of good character.”
GSUSA is still committed to building girls of good character. Better yet, GSUSA has finally taken a step forward to outspokenly, actively provide a safe, nurturing space for all girls. I’m genderqueer and I was a Girl Scout for 7+ years. Boycotting a GS fundraiser because of your bigotry is completely against everything you should have learned as a Girl Scout.
[TW for sexual assault]
“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.”
Am I reading into this too much, or is this fuckwad implying that [cis] Girl Scouts are at risk of sexual assault by trans girls? Is that what “safe” means? It’s certainly not the first time this busted ass argument has been used.
a few notes
1) you can donate to the Girl Scouts of Colorado if you want to directly support the folks who stood up for that little girl’s right to be a Girl Scout or if you want to support them in a non-comsumery way.
2) THIN MINTS ARE VEGAN
YES! And cowboysaurus, that is exactly what ze seems to be saying.
THIS CALLS FOR BUYING EVERY VARIETY
And it’s the 100 year anniversary of the Girl Scouts, so supporting them with more money is even more awesome this year. x3b
