Call for boycott of Girl Scout cookies is hate speech?

Shouldn't that be a girlcott or a personcott?



In a recent video gaining traction on the web, a teenage Girl Scout calls for a boycott of their famous cookies after a 7-year-old transgendered girl was admitted into a Colorado Girl Scout troop. The 8-minute clip on YouTube has been viewed more than 134,000 times in a little more than 12 hours since it began circulating the web.

In the video, a Girl Scout identified by World News Daily as 14-year-old Taylor from Ventura County, Calif., claims the organization is “promoting the desires of a small handful of people” “GSUSA and councils are focused on adult agendas that have nothing to do with helping girls,” she says in the video.

Appearing to be reading from a script, the teen lists her complaints against the organization: Having biological boys in the Girl Scouts organization presents a safety hazard for girls. Money from cookies sales goes to the organization that promotes these issues, she says. At the end of the video, Taylor asks viewers to visit the website honestgirlscouts.com where a flyer stating the Girl Scouts of the USA promotes abortion and LGBT rights is available for download.

Following the excerpt below they ruminate on whether what she says is hate speech but don't seem too sure.

The "oh so tolerant" left has driven this video into private status due to their vicious attacks. That alone should tell you all you need to know about where the hate is coming from.

I think this is a marketing ploy by the girl scouts. They know that liberals will go bonkers and buy even more, and push away any talks of banning girl scout cookies due it being junk food. This is brilliant on their part because the banning type libs will instead of calling to ban them will now buy 10 boxes each.

I understood transgender children are born biologically ambiguous as to being either male or female, and not that they had an operation to appear the opposite sex or simply wishing to be so.
So in that way such children are not "boys" if they appear to be more female than male and thus identify as girls rather than boys, and so I think this video is disingenuous in constantly suggesting that fully male boys are allowed to join that girl organization just because they want to.

You are confusing a hermaphrodite a person that has reproductive organs normally associated with both male and female sexes with a Transgender, a person whose gender identity, gender expression, or behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were born as. Gender identity refers to a person’s internal sense of being male, female, or something else; gender expression refers to the way a person communicates gender identity to others through behavior, clothing, hairstyles, voice, or body characteristics... so this young girl does have a legitimate concern with having fully male bodies sleeping in a tent with her.

Interesting that when the Boy Scouts place limits on gays they're crucified by these groups. But, when it's the Girl Scouts it's OK because of safety.

Let the boy scouts allow tomboy girls to join. That could make for some sweet camp outs!

Neither group should be crucified! Both boy and girl scouts should have the right to feel comfortable in a same sex atmosphere.

Or what? Before you plot your revenge against me, I might suggest that you learn to spell.

Science continually tells us "religious whack-jobs" that we should use Occam's Razor to simplify explanations. Therefore,

XY Chromosome = Male/boy/man
XX Chromosome = Female/girl/woman

Doesn't get much simpler than that*.

Of course, the PC Liberal agenda insists on complicating things.

*Yes, I am aware that there are naturally-occurring variances, but they are the exception, not the rule. This is about genetics, not about what one "feels".

So I guess we have to give some congratulations to 'Sig said' for managing to be so "average" and "normal", if only by his/her own definition. And when so many in the world have been so cursed by God or Fate with so much less favorable proclivities as the divine-favored 'Sig Said'.

So, you admit that you and your ilk are religious whack jobs. I, however, prefer religious whackaloons.
