Guiders Against Trans Exclusion

Our Mission Statement

We do not support Girlguiding's new policy

We aim to make it clear to Girlguiding in the strongest possible terms that its membership does not support the policy, and urge them to reverse their decision.

Demonstrate our support

We will vocally and publicly demonstrate our support for our trans members and the trans community at large

Trans Exclusion is not wanted

We aim to demonstrate to other organisations, government bodies and the wider public that trans exclusionary policies are unwanted, unacceptable, and cannot be instituted without consequence.
