Person holding up a sign with a lot of text. In the middle it says "Make a promise, keep a promise". On the right is "I can't guide without all my sisters", below that "using my voice &speaking out for trans girls.", below that "I promise that I will do my best to be true to myself and develop my beliefs, to serve the king and my community, to help other people and to keep the guide law". Next to that is says "Trans girls are girls", above that is "Do our badges mean nothing to you". Above that is the progress flag, and to the right of that is some text that says "Earning my badge".

I wonder how different this week would have been if the Girl Guides' statement had said "we're closing the Girl Guides with immediate effect due to legal threats by transphobic organisations funded by JK Rowling, which we cannot afford to contest".

Could have been the moment the tide turned.
