‘Deeply distressing for all of us’: families react to Girlguiding’s trans exclusion

From September, trans girls, and trans young women who volunteer, will have to hand in their memberships

Angela has two daughters, aged 13 and 10, who both attend their local Girlguiding group. Like many girls their age, they enthusiastically collect their badges, make new friends and attend the organisation’s large summer jamboree every year.

But as of September, Angela’s youngest daughter will have to leave Girlguiding because she is transgender.
