Also, The Girl Scouts explicitly rejected a large donation from an anti-trans organization: https://www.seattlemet.com/news-and-city-life/2015/06/donor-says-girl-scouts-can-t-use-100k-gift-for-transgender-girls
Girl Scouting is for all girls. Trans girls are girls, so they belong in Girl Scouts.
Okay at this point I just have to assume you are a troll who likes to argue without caring about or understanding a topic. If you did care, the infromation is readily available. But your intent is to argue, so here you are sealioning.
It’s easy to say “100% should go to the cause”, but that’s literally never how these things work. Go check up on any charity you like, none of them donate 100% to one thing. The scouts are running a drive for various causes, and to try and reach for “exploration” because it funds scholarships for under privligaged scouts is bad faith.
As I said before, this isn’t a topic that is worth time or energy. You can insist on your hard line definition but understand that most people don’t agree it’s exploitation and the girls know they are helping a good cause. I know it sounds spicy to say it’s a consisparcy harming kids, but that doesn’t reflect reality.
Go argue about actual child labor laws and leave the girl scouts and comet pizza alone.
Not a troll, I misread the 2023 earnings report where it states fundraising was $4.4 million as revenue instead of an expense, so when you read it like I did originally it would mean they make 97% from dues and other means and 3% from fundraising. Which is why I tried to defend my position that there’s no value in taking that from the children and it’s just a cash grab.
While I understand that the mistake is entirely my own and I apologize to you, perhaps in the future just point out the flaw in their argument instead of calling them a qanon conspiracy nutjob.
