I thought that was screwed up but I was on the iPhone and didn't want to deal with it at that point.

The biggest fricking dorks I've ever known were almost to a man involved in Boy Scouts for some length of time.

Boy Scouts and karate for some reason attract them it seems.

As a former boy scout I have mixed feelings on this. I think it's great BSA wants to me more inclusive. I don't think other kids are going to treat transgender kids with respect though. They are going to get bullied like crazy.

True. I had my son in it for about 3 months and it was freaking nerd city. I didn't need to convince him he should stop going.

Why does it have to be sad? Why does it bother you if your kids scout troop as a transgender kid in it?

The only thing that attracts nerds more than boy scouts is Upwards sports...

I think both are probably due to the correlation with the general social awkwardness of kids whose entire social circle revolves around church/homeschooling, and these are the kids often found in Upward sports and Boy Scouts.

What makes up a "dork"? What do they do...what are their habits and values??

They won't be "dorky" when they establish their cocksucker merit badge.

Actually, I generally roll my eyes, shake my head, and ignore them.

And, you might want to look up gender dysphoria.

It is, isn't it?

no more absurd than destroying the principles the organization was built on to pander to the mentally ill

If transgender kids thought they were bullied before, just wait until they join the Boy Scouts.

So are you more concerned that their peers will ridicule them for their disorder or that the Tkids have bad "friends" as parents?

Just wait until little Johnny/Joanie wants to join the Girl Scouts and sleep with them in their tent, shower with them, etc.
