‘F**king horrific’: Liberals melt down after largest girl youth group in UK bans trans-identifying boys
The Girlguiding organization of the U.K. announced reluctantly that it would no longer allow transgender-identifying boys from joining the organization, and many on the left are imploding.
The association is a part of the global Scout Movement that includes the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts in the U.S.
‘This is yet another horrible act of violence against the most vulnerable trans people for which the government is ultimately responsible.’
In its statement posted on Tuesday, the group said that the decision was made after a Supreme Court decision related to sex and gender.
“From today, 2 December, it is with a heavy heart that we are announcing trans girls and young women will no longer be able to join Girlguiding,” the group said. “This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community.”
The organization serves about 300,000 girls in groups named Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, and Rangers.
“Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalized groups,” they added. “Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us.”
Many on the left were outraged over the announcement.
“This is f**king horrific. The statement makes it clear that they don’t actually want to do this, but feel they have no choice given the current climate and the fact a legal challenge would take more resources than they have. Transphobia: harming children since forever,” said one account on the X platform.
“Enjoy living on the side of the far right, Nazis, and the worst misogynists in society … I’m sure history will look kindly on that,” he added in a second post.
“This just made me burst into tears. It’s pure cruelty,” replied another user, who identified as queer.
Tammy Hymas, the policy lead for the TransActual group, decried the decision.
“It’s awful that an organization, which would happily be inclusive and has been for many years, is being forced to exclude young trans girls by adults with bigotries and institutional power,” Hymas said. “There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done.”

Hymas went on to call it an act of violence.
“This is yet another horrible act of violence against the most vulnerable trans people for which the government is ultimately responsible,” she added. “Another trauma that will leave a generation of young LGBTQ+ people scarred for life.”
“F**k @Girlguiding. I’m absolutely f**king fuming and absolute ashamed to be part of an organization which can make such exclusive and divisive decisions,” another user replied on social media.

Mike Lindell has filed to run for governor in Minnesota — against Tim Walz
The famous CEO and founder of MyPillow has filed to run for governor in Minnesota in what would be a challenge to current Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
Mike Lindell told CBS News that he wasn’t “100% sure” that he was running yet and would make a more definite announcement in the next week.
‘We are doing our due diligence, and so far things are looking very good!’
Walz, who unsuccessfully ran for vice president in 2024, has already announced his intention to run for re-election for a third term.
Lindell has been outspoken in his support for President Donald Trump and has used his wealth and fame to promote the president’s policies. He had hinted at a possible run for governor and said he would campaign as a Republican.
“We are doing our due diligence, and so far things are looking very good!” he said earlier this year.
“I will certainly be adding securing our elections to my platform! We polled Minnesota, and ‘secure our elections’ was the #3 concern!” he continued.
Aside from his successful pillow company, Lindell is known for pushing the theory that electronic election machines rigged the 2020 election for then-candidate Joe Biden. He was later sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion in damages from the accusations, as well as by Smartmatic.
Lindell had been defiant when Dominion first made its legal threat.
“I want Dominion to put up their lawsuit because we have 100% evidence that China and other countries used their machines to steal the election,” he said at the time.
Lindell was ordered to pay $2.3 million to a former Dominion executive for damages stemming from accusations of election-fixing from the pillow entrepreneur.
The self-made multimillionaire has admitted to previously being addicted to crack before building his successful business.
He has also admitted to losing much of his wealth through spending to spread his theories about the election and also in court costs to defend himself against legal challenges.

“I’m in ruins,” Lindell said in April during a legal hearing via Zoom where he was ordered to pay more than $53K to Smartmatic.
“I borrowed everything I can. Nobody will lend me any money anymore,” Lindell added. “I can’t turn back time … but I will tell you, I don’t have any money.”
Walz, meanwhile, has fallen in polling and is supported by the same percentage of voters as those who oppose him. The Democrat has also faced intense criticism for allegedly helping cover up massive fraud by Minnesotans, including many in the Somali community.
