mar 24, 2026 - Transgender Girls to Leave Girlguiding groups

Description:

The organisation that oversees girl guide groups in the UK has said transgender girls must leave the organisation by September.

It follows an announcement in December by Girlguiding that it would no longer allow biological boys who identify as girls to join.

It said the action was being taken in response to the Supreme Court ruling in 2025 that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Campaign group Trans+ Solidarity Alliance described the news as "heartbreaking" for children. Sex-based rights group Sex Matters said it was "the right thing" for Girlguiding to do.

Girlguiding said the timeframe allowed "affected members and their families time to plan, prepare, access support, and decide when - between now and September - they feel ready to leave".
