This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!
NOTE! If the Girl Scout links are not working, open in incognito mode!
Did you know that for a long time, Girl Scouts has openly included transgender and nonbinary individuals in its membership? I first learned of this three years ago while searching for a source for my annual Girl Scout cookie purchase. At that time, a wave of anti-trans sentiment was intensifying, prompting me to seek out transgender Girl Scouts from whom to order. One major benefit of their online ordering system is that it allows for trans girl scouts to sell their cookies with relative privacy and no contact between the scout and the purchaser when it comes to online orders.
My initial effort was a success, meeting the goals of every single scout featured on the page. The achievement felt wonderful during what seemed like one of the most severe legislative attacks on transgender children in recent memory. Unbeknownst to us, each subsequent year would bring greater such attacks. Since then, every year I’ve repeated this initiative, we’ve surpassed our previous sales, leading to coverage in multiple news stories.
It is that time of year again. I have reached out to the families on my list to gather girl scouts to purchase cookies from. Please consider choosing a trans girl scout to get your cookies from this year - the kids are under attack this year more than ever, so lets give them some joy.
Note: When purchasing from one of these trans girl scouts, please choose the “ship the cookies” option and not the “deliver the cookies” by hand option.
With no further adieu, here are the scouts! Please check back as many more often request to be added after publication, and I will keep this post updated with any that join in:

Traditionally, Girl Scout Cookies are a once-a-year thing, where people will buy cookies from their local GS troops, who often set up tables at events, stores, parks, etc. But the internet has made it possible to do stuff like this, where you can get your cookies from specific places and maybe send your money where it’s needed more. So for example, Troop 6000 is a GS troop specifically for kids who are homeless in NYC; if you live in a pretty affluent neighborhood and you think your local Girl Scouts are good on money, you could support Troop 6000 instead.
Thanks for explaining :)
