I support trans kids but I don't want to show favoritism. Why is there a list of transkids? Honest question I don't understand. dont parents sell at work and in front of stores and stuff? Would this alienate them from their peers somehow? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 22 points 5 months ago (1 child) Modern scouts sell both in person and online I'm not sure how it would alienate them. Being different is already alienating. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago For sure, thanks for the link. It's been ages since I had girls scout cookies. My nearest comparison for selling cookies are those old competitive fundraisers school used to do an you get rewards. It was really competitive at my school permalink fedilink source parent [–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago Erin in the Morning is a reputable source, too. That blog has been sharing trans girl scout cookies for years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] aquovie@lemmy.cafe 2 points 5 months ago Why is there a list of transkids? Yeah, this person's heart is in the right place but I dunno if we should be encouraging making lists of state-persecuted minorities right now. permalink fedilink source parent
