The organisation that oversees girl guide groups in the UK has announced it is banning trans girls from joining.
Girlguiding said the move – which means it will not accept biological boys who identify as girls – was in response to the Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.
The trustees said they had made the “difficult decision” with a “heavy heart” and there would be further announcements on what this will mean for current members.
