    Katie Hopkins thinks the Girlguiding organisation is “imploding” after it ruled, in keeping with the Equality Act 2010, that trans girls are allowed to join its ranks. The organisation recently made a statement clarifying that children who identify as female could join.

    In a statement, Girlguiding wrote, “Girlguiding is for all girls, and that includes trans girls. We are working in line with the Equality Act 2010 and review our policy and practice regularly in line with the new guidance and best practice as it emerges.”

    Hopkins Hits Out

    Writing directly to the CEO of Girlguiding Hopkins wrote, “Please can I politely request a chat. I identify as a trans-pescatarian on Fridays and prefer to be referred to by my non-binary nickname Uber-Twat. Breaking news – Your organisation is imploding.”

    I identify as a trans-pescatarian on Fridays and prefer to be referred to by my non-binary nickname Uber-Twat.

    Hopkins warned, “Get your daughters out of there. And fast. Say no to mandatory madness”.

    When the West Yorkshire Police dept said it was “great to see” Girlguiding “standing up for trans rights” Hopkins couldn’t hold back her fury tweeting, “What about the rights of our daughters to shower and sleep safety with other little girls? Why are the police so willing to throw our children under the bus to climb aboard with trans-rights?”
