When I voted "yes," the tally was at 98.34% in favor.

If the question had been phrased, "Should girl scouts be forced to accept transgendered members?", I would have voted "no."

There is a big difference between a voluntary act, and coersion.

girl scouts is about involvement in the community. girl is a gender, not a sex. what's more, i would really be questioning the appropriateness of the group if there's adults there thinking there's some sexual motive involved.
