It's not every day the Girl Scouts or any non-profit is handed a $100,000 pledge.
The Girl Scouts of Western Washington recently received the donation to help fund activities for girls participating in Girl Scouts.
But the gift came with a catch.
quote:
"Please guarantee that our gift will not be used to support transgender girls," the note read, according to Seattle Metropolitan magazine's Monday story. "If you can't, please return the money."
quote:
Girl Scouts of Western Washington council head Megan Ferland said she felt "very sad" after receiving that letter. But shortly thereafter, she says she decided to return the money.
quote:
The Western Washington council set up an Indigogo fundraiser to replace the donation, and the "Girl Scouts is #ForEVERYGirl" page has already raised more than $175,000 from more than 3,200 donors in one day and more than $249,000 from over 4,900 donors in two days.

They should have accepted it and said we don't call them transgender girls, just girls.

What an odd caveat to add to a pledge.

I'll bet $100k that was all staged to generate money via a pity funding campaign.

If you are a parent and you let your child change their sex you should be shot in the head.

3) Start GoFundMe or whatever

Why would anyone ever just straight up donate to the girl scouts in the first place without expecting cookies in return???

seriously. We are so fricked.
I mean, if a grown adult like bruce jenner wants to become a mockery fine..let em go wild. But someone who woudl be in girl scouts..presumably a child like 8 years old or something...shoudl have absolutely no business doing something this radical. I'm sure there are young girls that love sports and fishing and playing in the dirt that go through puberty and are happy being a girl. I'm sure there are little boys that put on their sisters dresses or play with dolls then hit puberty and are glad they're a dude. Kids are kids with little kid frickin brains..they don't have attached stigmas to playign with certain toys or doing certian activities. Parents saying "O.M.G. honey do you see! Little billy is playing with a barbie! Let's take them to doctor nutjob tomorrow and turn him into little bailey so they can be comfortable in their own skin" are off their rocker and should be in prison.

Ding ding ding! This showed up on my fb feed last night. I 
the comments. Eight friends had a back and forth debate. Those who applauded gsoa and "trans-gendered" children had a whopping 0 kids between them. The two friends who said kids are in no way capable of making such life altering decisions had 5 kids between them. SJWs that support this either don't have kids or are rushing the second their son picks up a barbie doll for the attention.

Aren't Girl Scouts known for being open about this stuff? Did the "giver" just make the pledge knowing they would refuse it?

In the age of social media, making money really isn't any more complicated than that exact formula.

Kids are more sophisticated and socially conscious than ten or fifteen years ago know. Times are changing to reflect that in many ways. Ingrained archaic religious beliefs are the lens through which you are seeing this situation. Drop the religious dogma and it makes more sense. Of course, the South is still a backwater.

ETA the cookie bidness must be booming to turn down $100k

oh whatever. you dont have to be religious to think "transgendered" kids is ridiculous
Posted on 7/1/15 at 2:18 pm to genuineLSUtiger
what the hell are you talking about? An 8 year old isn't sophisticated or socially conscious, they're a fricking kid. They pick their nose and laugh at farts and watch cartoons. No little boy is going to play with a doll and say "well...would you look at that. Excuse me, parental units? It appears that I have found myself enjoying recreational activities with what society would consider a more female targeted play object. This would lead me to conclude that despite me being born with male genitalia and reproductive organs, I am more likely to identify with a gender other than the one I was naturally born with. I would ask that you rush me into surgery post haste so we can rectify this situation immediately."
Let someone reach adulthood so they can weigh in with a somewhat mature mind before rearranging their sex parts and ALTERING THE COURSE OF THEIR ENTIRE FUTURE LIFE.

I dont think the debate here is whether or not children should or shouldnt be transgender. I think the debate should rest solely on whether or not this person is an a-hole for putting a stipulation on the money, essentially a political trap. Which they completely are......
The rest is just a huge deflection.....

That would be lying because transgender girls = boys.

I am surprised someone hasn't started protesting that they should allow boys in the group...they protest everything else.
