    As an eagle scout myself (even if I wasn't ever really a big fan of scouting) I am really glad that even trans males are going to be allowed to join if they want.

    Don´t be...

    Trump´s Supreme Court pick will undo every advance that LGBT persons have gained in the last few years.

    I heard about that just today! I'm glad to see that all boys, Trans or not, will be able to be a part of the Boy Scouts community!

    Despite my fears of "The great leap backwards" it's satisfying to know people are still trying and pushing forward regardless. I suppose some lights still shine on the abyss, huh?

    That sounds odd coming from me, practically the queen of pessimism.

    This is encouraging. I am glad to know there are some trans-guys out there getting to take part in scouting because of this.

    This is super awesome, as a trans boy, this is another step to our rights. But unfortunately I think Trump and his cabinet will do something about this sooner or later, because there are probably some people who are infuriated by this.
