This is for the best.

I did not know the Girl Scouts were so inclusive.  That’s not the case with the Boy Scouts, right?  I mean, would they allow a transboy to join?  I seem to recall they have issues with letting gay men be Scout leaders…

Anyway, who wants Girl Scout cookies?  I’ll buy.

I don’t know about the Boy Scouts. The Girl Scouts made the news when Christian groups found out that transgender girls were in some troops, and had a tantrum over it, and then Girl Scouts of the USA stood up and said that it welcomes all girls, and if someone identifies as a girl and wants to be a Girl Scout, that’s good enough for them. That, of course, made the right-wingers have conniptions and choke on their drinks at the very thought of children being included in a group that fits them, hence this video.

I’m happy to buy an extra box of Thin Mint cookies to make some hateful people angrier.

True story: Last year, I accosted a man in a parking lot who was loading his troop’s cookies into his car, and I forced him to sell me a box. He was a bit alarmed, but I got my cookies.
