the girl in the video telling people to boycott girl scout cookies makes a valid point about letting transgender girls into the scouts, but also contradicts the girl scout values and oath at the same time. When the girl talks about how the rule say they don’t ask for proof and that if the family sells the girl as being a girl then they will accept her. This causes a very simple way of boys entering the girl scouts group by just saying yes they are a girl without exactly proving that they live and act as one. Boys could join the girl scouts at older ages up to 12th grade saying they are transgender and be lying just to get into the group and possibly take advantage of younger girls, or for other perverted reasons. the girl scouts also state that male adults that are supervisors need separate bathroom facilities and sleeping arrangements during sleepovers. This causes problems for transgender girls that are eighteen years old and technically are boys. If you treat them differently and give them a different place to sleep and go to the bathroom then they aren’t being treated as equals as the girl scouts state about each girl not being treated differently. It causes for some very confusion on how to include transgender into the girl scouts.

At the same time as bringing up great points about the safety of letting transgender girls into the girl scouts the young lady is also not following the beliefs and oath of the girl scouts. In the oath it clearly states that they will respect others and be a sister to every girl scout. By the way the girl in the video talks it seems she doesn’t respect transgender girls. Also it seems she will not accept a transgender girl as her sister even though they are accepted by the organization as a girl scout. The girl scouts promise to make the world a better place, well isn’t accepting every girl transgender or not doing that? If the girl of the video feels the organization should be bias to transgender girls, then why not be bias against race, appearance, or any other thing?

The young girl in the video did bring up some valid questions about the girl scouts rules that should be looked over more carefully, but to feel as they shouldn’t let any transgender girls in is wrong. If the girl is truly transgender, but lives and acts as a girl and can be proven to be a girl in every way except for the transgender part then they should be allowed. The girl scout organization should be a little more careful and make sure of the honesty of the transgender girl entering, so that they are not fooled into actually letting a straight boy trying to sneak in into the organization. I feel as long as she lives and acts in every way as being a girl and truly shows that then they should allow her to join the girl scout organization. They claim to be an accepting group that respects others than their group members should do the same and accept the transgender girl as long as she truly is a girl in mind and actions.

The boycotting of the cookies though was not a great idea to fix the problems in the scouts because the problem isn’t with the organization its with people who can’t accept real transgender girls as girls that they are. When they are truly girls even though transgender they should be treated as so in the organization with no difference to show them they can be accepted as a female as they wish to be. As long as the rules changed on how they let them in to make sure and more certain the organization isn’t being fooled. They needed to talk with the organization about ensuring the safety of the girls that join, so that a straight boy couldn’t sneak into the organization instead of telling people to boycott the girl scouts because that wouldn’t help anything. That would just cause problems and talks of prejudice with transgender people instead of accepting the girls and making sure they were truly girls besides the obvious anatomy differences, because that  shouldn’t matter if they  completely believe they are girls. The boycott just showed how simple-minded the girl was and some families of certain other girl scouts that felt the same instead of accepting people as they are and treating them equally.
