If my daughter were in this Guide group, I would remove her immediately. Because youth organisations shouldn’t be using children to front political campaigns. This video from Thatcham Rangers, part of Girlguiding, shows girls holding slogans such as “trans girls are girls” and “our story includes trans girls”, while...

A Girlguiding leader has made a video about my choir being dropped from the London Marathon - suggesting I got what I deserved. Why? Because my Sunday Telegraph reporting on activism within Girlguiding supposedly “invited hate”. It’s worth watching. Because it includes the kind of footage that first raised concerns - children with covered faces holding pro-trans placards - and suggests leaders were initially told by Girlguiding HQ that no one had done anything wrong and should feel “proud” of the video. That tone appears to have shifted once Girlguiding announced boys would need to leave by September, bringing the organisation into line with the law. Apparently my Telegraph reporting pushed Girlguiding’s support away and ‘forced’ them to join ranks with a local Pride group to create a new youth group. For members of two local Rangers groups they lead. That blame is, of course, misguided. Had Girlguiding focused on its charitable purpose - and proper safeguarding - much of this could have been avoided. But this video also highlights how activists are often driven by emotion - rather than policy, safeguarding or the law. In it the Girlguiding leader claims the disability charity Scope reversed its decision about my choir singing at the London Marathon because of “hate”. That’s not true. They reversed it because they were acting unlawfully - discriminating against me for a protected belief and against others by association. “It’s not nice being punished for your views,” the leader says. Quite. But biological sex isn’t a view. It’s reality.

I've been sitting on the evidence for this Girlguiding story since March. Even then, it took months to persuade a mainstream publication to cover this aspect of the investigation. For an independent journalist, pursuing a story like this without the backing of a national newspaper's legal team carries obvious risks. But I persisted because I believe there is a strong public interest in asking whether organisations entrusted with the care of girls are putting safeguarding first. This investigation involved months of conversations, verification and painstaking work. Unsurprisingly, some people have suggested that concerns about these issues are exaggerated. That is why I'm sharing some of the publicly available material I found online. To be absolutely clear, there is no suggestion that this individual has done anything wrong. Indeed one could argue he has also been failed by a system that affirmed and accepted him as a Girlguiding leader and later appointed him to a 16-person advisory committee - apparently without sufficient scrutiny of his suitability for the role. The greater failure, however, was towards the girls and women who should never have been expected to accept males in a single-sex organisation. I hope this story helps explain why many women believe this debate has never simply been about being "kind". It is about safeguarding, boundaries and whose interests are prioritised. I'm grateful to everyone who helped bring this story to light, including women who spoke to me privately and helped with research. And Graham Linehan who reminded me how important it was to tell this story. And I do think we should ask why it was so difficult to secure national coverage of a story that many people would regard as being firmly in the public interest.

What you are about to watch is the **final round** of the most prestigious national high school debate tournament. Team A proceeds to tell Team B that they **will not** be debating the assigned topic (benefits/costs of the IMF) because trans people are being genocided by MAGA Republicans and that is way more important than debating the IMF. Team A starts off by playing an audio clip from a 1980s AIDs protest and says that “28 states want to kill” trans people like her. They tell the judges that this round "does nothing to the IMF itself" and as such they have decided that "this round is going to be a debate about debate" and the judges' "choice instead is whether to affirm our performance." They proudly declare that they will "occupy the debate space until trans debaters can participate safely." Team B then immediately concedes the round because they don’t want to dispute that trans genocide is real and be labelled transphobic. The rest of the round is a struggle session where Team A states that misgendering is “violent” and that if you do it, you should automatically lose. This is the *final round* of the *most prestigious high school debate tournament* of the school year, and they made a mockery of it with their selfish, unintelligible performative rant. The worse part? The judges praised Team A for their bravery and courage and crowned them the national champions. This is sick. It’s anti-merit, anti-debate, and anti-American. No wonder droves of kids are quitting high school debate. The National Speech and Debate Association cannot be reformed. It’s time for viable high school debate alternatives to stand up and welcome young Americans who actually want to debate. I believe my non-profit Incubate Debate will be one of those alternatives.
