Excluding trans children is pointless cruelty - and Girlguiding has set a dangerous example | LBC When a charity as large and well-resourced as Girlguiding folds so quickly, it sends a signal to others that excluding trans people is the path of least resistance, writes Melissa Dee

Last week our Chief Operating Officer commented on the exclusion of trans girls from GirlGuiding.

As trans people our tolerance for mistreatment can be higher due to our oppression and the external messages we receive. We have compiled some behaviours that may indicate familial abuse. If you’re living with family and it feels unsafe, call 07902 478958 or make a referral on our website.

Don’t advise what they say and do - It could endanger them 
Do signpost them to appropriate domestic abuse services (such as ours) 
Do keep their information and experience confidential 
Do listen without judgement respecting their wishes and needs

Our community is small and have limited support networks. If you know a trans+ person who is a victim of abuse your presence is valuable. Make sure to listen to their experience but don’t suggest what they do or say. It could endanger them. Make sure to signpost them to a DA service

While we believe by and for services like ours are a powerful tool in supporting marginalised communities, it’s important that all organisations make an effort!
