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

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
