- Girlguiding has instructed its transgender girl members to depart the organisation by early September.
- This directive follows a previous announcement in December that transgender girls would no longer be eligible to join, with membership now limited to "girls and young women".
- It added that any trans girl or trans woman currently volunteering in a role open to women only will be required to move by this date to a position that is open to male or females.
- The decision was made after "detailed considerations" and expert legal advice, prompted by an April 2025 Supreme Court ruling on the definition of "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010.
- Campaign group Trans+ Solidarity Alliance described the news as "heartbreaking" for children, criticising the government for failing the trans community.
