"We accept all girls in kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout. If a child is living as a girl, that’s good enough for us. We don’t require any proof of gender."

Looks like I’ll be buying a ton of cookies this year.

This is fantastic, but this just bothers/confuzzles me every time I see this quote: what do they mean by “the child’s family presents her as a girl”. Does that mean just saying “this is my child, she is a girl” or do they mean “we’ll only accept girls that look like girls”? Because if it’s the latter, then it’s kinda fucking bullshit. 0_o
