Girl Scout Asks for Boycott of Cookies After Transgender Inclusion

Next time I see the Scouts outside my market, I'm buying extra boxes of Thin Mints and Do Se Do's, and I'm going to smile and tell them why, too. :D

Gee, do I want some thin mints after watching that girl not only spout cissexist crap but use the wrong labels, too. But girl scout cookies aren't vegan.

I think this getting viral is really helping our cause because she comes off as such a tool. I should buy some Samoas and send them her way as a thank you. ^_^

I just looked up samoas.....I LOVE those things, I've just never known them by that name! To heck with the thin mints and to heck with my diet. I'll take 3 boxes please.

You could always make a donation in her name to the Girl Scouts anyway. In fact, we should all make donations IN HER NAME to them.

Awww, I wanted cookies. ): But that sounds like a better idea anyway.

She just doesn't get it! She even has the incorrect term and the condesention in her voice, Oh my goodness. I get Girl Scouts coming by selling cookies, are they in for a surprise! I'll be buying extra boxes!

The video is now private. Apparently people have found a way to get through to her. I can only imagine how shocked she must have been when our nation didn't rally behind her.

I like your idea Kelise. I might just do that. :)

I think that some of the video responses are great.

If you check the "honest Girl Scout" site they have you will see that the transgender issue is only a minor one. It seems their main target with the Girl Scouts is their support of planned parenthood and others.

While it looks like this was the work of this one girl it is obvious this was produced by a larger organization.

It made one of the lead stories again on the local new here and there was a lot of support to buy cookies.

The interesting thing is that the youngster who wanted to join in the first place had already decided not to join a troop at this time.

I was ahead of of the story about the Governor announcing that one of his goals for this round of legislation was to legalize same sex marriages. (Yea........)

WOW! I wish I had seen the video before it went private. I'm thrilled with the GS's stand on the TG issue and the majority of positive responses. I don't think the GS's should be boycotted because of the rantings of one girl. But I do believe the organization should review her conduct as it doesn't appear to uphold most of the ideals of scouting from what I've heard.

I realize bigots come in all shapes and sizes and that they are allowed to have their say, but they should know that to do it in any uniform (except for one or two that I can think of), they open themselves up to charges from said organizations standards.

Has anyone heard any offical statement from the GS Organization?

I am amazed at the responses in support of the Girl Scouts. The videos are very encouraging. I am, however, dismayed over the reporting of this young lady's objection to the admittance of a transgirl.

I just saw a report from KENS5 out of San Antonio. The report refered to the transgirl as a transgender boy and used male pronouns! They showed a photo of this transgirl and she is cute as a button. What is wrong with these reporters? Don't they do research anymore?

Another issue I have is the claim that this puts others in Girl Scouting in danger. What kind of danger comes from a 7 y/o? This is an arguement that many so called Christians are now using to prevent us from being accepted. I remind you of the " what about restrooms" issue.

Did it ever occur to anyone that this might just be the greatest well orchestrated advertising campaign since New Coke?

(New Coke was introduced in order to change the 'original' formula to high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar to cut costs.)

Seriously, the sales of Girl Scout Cookies have been declining with the repossession and so many people avoiding sugary snacks - now how to boost sales to maintain the organization - find a group struggling desperately to be heard in their quest for rights and target therm while asking for a boycott - the instant reaction is to buy as much as possible - brilliant!

Maybe the girl was serious and meant it but it is very well produced and one must wonder, at least the cynics amongst us.

Love ya,

Sally

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
