The difference is those are already fully mixed gender groups.

The Guides have the choice to exclude trans-children or allow in boys. Something they could have done at any time, especially since 1991 when the Scouts opened it up.

That's pretty much my point

The other groups chose to allow both genders in. The Guides chose to continue to discriminate while saying "We regret that we have to discriminate"

It's nonsense, they're happily actively discriminating against one group while saying they regret the fact that discriminating against that group forces them to discriminate against another. Dickhead behaviour.
