Should girl scouts allow transgender members?

-----

When I voted, the totals were:

Yes  98.38%  (24,931 votes) 

No  1.62%  (410 votes) 

Total Votes: 25,341

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.

It is now showing 98.36%    It seems to steadily show less than 2% against

Yes  98.36%  (29,442 votes)


No  1.64%  (490 votes)



Total Votes: 29,932

Every comment flagged for abuse? Someone doesn't like the direction it is going

A meaningless poll.
Badly set up and nonmonitored

There's no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to join. It's not as though it's sport where a transgender child might have an advantage.

Yes. No reasonable person could have problem with it.

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.
