They also turned off replies and no one can (since no one was mentioned), but there are quote tweets blasting them, e.g.:

JHC I hate these people.

I fricken twitch now when I see ''diversity and inclusion" now.

Can't WAIT for the MAP/Pedophiles to be under their umbrella.

It's a charity for young girls? Why the fuck is it talking about asexuality at all? WTF?

I liked the one Tweet that said when you take away the jargon, it's just talking about libido to little girls. Why?! Why can't kids be given time to just be little kids? There's plenty of time in life for them to learn about all the facets of human sexuality, when they have more life experience and the cognitive maturity to handle it. Of course I totally support sex education, but holy fuck, in due course. Just let kids be kids, answer any of their questions about sex in an age-appropriate manner, and slow the fuck down with throwing stuff at them that they probably didn't even ask about.

Yeah, it's just weird. I get they're trying to do it in the same way they do for gay couples, the problem is you can explain gay couples to kids the same way you explain regular couples to kids. There's no need to talk about sex at all and they shouldn't until an age appropriate time for sex ed and all that.

But with asexual there's no way to talk about it without talking about sex since an asexual relationship will look exactly the same as any other relationship on the outside.

As much as the Tweet is just some cheap pandering but the replies themselves are really inappropriate. I am reading some and they only remind me of anti-LGBT reactionary groups outraged about talking about the possibility a girl can like a girl, and boy can like a boy. Is it really grooming to tell that some people just won't like anyone and it's okay? No one will be explicitly talking about sex to kids. It really only reminds of the outrage of right-wingers in regards to acknowledging the existence of gay people as normal and not keeping it secret because it offends the straight or it will turn kids gay. Some of the comments are really crossing a line - saying it's grooming, pedophilia, urging to keep kids safe (the assumption that they will be introduced to explicit content while just acknowledging some people are ace?). I've seen this before somewhere.

I really can't agree with the way backlash of these people is expressed because it just reads like good old homophobic outrage to me.

Though as you see my flair, yes I am biased, but damn the replies are just very bad in my opinion.

Perhaps not, but from when does any sexuality have anything to do with Girl Guides?
