Buy a cookie; support the Girl Scouts

As some of you may have heard, there’s a very small and very stupid movement going on right now urging people to not buy Girl Scout Cookies because they have the gall (THE GALL!) to treat transgender girls as equals.

A couple things here: first off, NOTHING in this entire fucking world will keep people from buying Thin Mints. Jesus Chirst, Thin Mints . . . those cookies are just not fair. If I could, I would buy enough Thin Mints that I could form a small mountain and roll around in them.

Second, if you can look a little girl in the face and say, “Nope, I will not buy your cookies because you treat trans girls with the same respect and dignity as anyone else,” you may want to stay away from holy water, because I’m pretty sure you don’t have a soul and that shit might melt your face off like that Nazi guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

So yes, support the Girl Scouts of America this year. Buy as many Thin Mints and Tagalongs and Samoas as you can cram into your delicious face hole. Hell, they even have new cookies this year, so buy a shitload of those, too! Trans kids have it hard enough as it is, so anything you can do to support an organization that makes them feel safe and welcome would be great.
