Buying girl scout cookies=supporting equal rights.

[Pippin]

This girl is telling America not to support the Girl Scouts because they believe in equality, allowing transgendered boys to join the organization. Her video has made me want to buy double the amount of cookies I buy this year.
support GSUSA!!!

It's almost scary how robotic that girl is at 14...you can actually see her parents' narrow-minded, offensive views that have deeply affected this girl.

That said, I love thin mints and plan to buy a lot!

[StockardFan]

I bought 3 boxes of Thin Mints, 2 boxes of Samoas (whatever they're called now), and 2 boxes of peanut butter cookies.

[Pippin]

Samoas (or whatever the kids are calling them these days) are my absolute favorite!! I'm gonna have to sacrifice the extra calories for a good cause and buy extra.

[Marianne2]

I love Thin Mints and both peanut butter kinds. I can't wait to buy some.

[StockardFan]

Pippen, my husband's favorites are the Samoas. Mine are the Thin Mints too, Marianne. The girl scouts here have already delivered (in November). The Samoas disappeared in 3 days. I still have some Thin Mints in the freezer.

[DottieD'Luscia]

I bought 3 boxes of thin mints. They've been my favorite since I was a kid.

[Marianne2]

They don't start selling here until now. I'll have to check with my local council to see where and when these sales will be. I don't know if people still go door to door. But, I know nobody would bother to come up my driveway.

My favorites growing up were the chocolate covered peanut butter ones (can't remember the name of them for the life of me at the moment), though Thin Mints moved up the ranks as the years have gone by to be right there next to them.

And I admit to a fondness for Trefoils as well. Sometimes a handful of those and a cup of tea are just what are needed for a winter evening.

[FindingNamo]

Who knew a simple humble Girl Scout like she would have so much in common with many of the hardcore old-school gals at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival?! Womyn-Born Womyn Only! Wear red if you agree with that policy!

[Kad]

I want to punch her.

And then buy some Girl Scout cookies.

[Jordan Catalano]

I bet she's the most popular student in her home school.

[Kad]

The website behind this is fairly disgusting.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Your link isn't working, Kad. I think you may have put it in the wrong box?

Between this girl's stilted recitation of her speech and her smug delivery, it's taking me a while to get through her video, because I can only bear about twenty seconds at a time.

Future president of the Dartmouth Young Republicans.

That girl is definitely in the running for the Mount Rose American Teen Princess so, I am pretty certain big-city, no-bra-wearin', hairy-legged women's libbers or LGBT rights groups might say.

[Kad]

Ah, sorry.
Honest Girl Scouts

A transgender FTM made a great response video.

Tagalong Trefoil would make a great drag name!

[Broadwayboobs]

Thin Mints have always been my favorite. Last year they came out with a Lemon cookie called Lemonade which I LOVED. It looks like they're gone this year. Time to stock up on the Thin Mints again!

[Reginald Tresilian]

"I bet she's the most popular student in her home school."

Brilliant.

And we ordered 2 boxes of Samoas and some new lemon somethings in response to this video. I hope they have their best year yet, cookie-wise.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I guess accountability for your words isn't one of the Girl Scouts' credos.

[NYadgal]

I always sing 'You've Got To Be Taught" to myself when I read/hear of stories like this.

I was a Girl Scout. And proud of it.
We were NOT closed minded. We were open and civic-minded, and did a lot of good, while having a wonderful adventure.

Shame on those who taught this young girl to think and feel this way.

I'm adding some boxes to my order this year.

[JoeKv99]

1) You can get gender reassignment surgery as a minor?

2) Are there really a lot of transgendered Girl Scouts?

[JerseyGirl2]

Having myself a Thin Mint right now. Our friends bought some for us last year, froze them and mailed them to us while we were in the US. I am going to buy a couple of boxes for my parents just to support the inclusion!
