Transgender children will now be able to join the Girl Guides
For the first time in the group’s 107-year-history transgender children and leaders will be welcomed into the organisation. In a move to support anyone who identifies as a girl or woman, new guidelines from Girlguiding have been sent out to all leaders stating that children from the age of five can join Rainbows, Brownies and Girl Guides if they identify as female. Previously transgender children have been able to attend Girlguiding, but parents would have had to speak to leaders on an individual basis. This is the first time the organisation has created an official policy on the subject.

Forget Taylor’s squad, the Victoria’s Secret Angels are the ultimate sorority. Leading up to the show they eat, sleep, train, breathe, and talk about wings together.

Sure they could ID Naomi or Adriana on the runway, but what if they couldn’t see the face of their partner-in-million-dollar-bras?
