Jim Bob Duggar Talks about Girl Scout Protest

Jim Bob Duggar Talks about Girl Scout Protest

Does the opinion of a random guy on television hold much credibility? In our culture, it just might, but not in this case. The point of this article is to bring up the discussion of whether a child should have a choice in how they express their gender. In this case, the girl wants to become a contributing girl scout, and she has every right to. Yet, it is interesting to see how the acceptance of a 7-year-old sparked enough discontent in a 14-year-old to make a viral video about it. We'll see how this progresses. So far it seems to be that society is slowly becoming more comfortable with the idea of allowing children to be what gender they want to be. I am proud that Girl Scouts chose not to discriminate against the transgender culture in this case.
