A California teen is starting a national boycott of Girl Scout cookies because the group let a 7-year-old transgender kid (pictured above) join a Colorado troop.

Luke says this will only make him buy more Girl Scout cookies. He doesn’t see any problem letting a young kid who clearly identifies as a girl join her peers in the troop. “Does this little girl threaten you,” he asks. Why not let young Bobby Montoya in the troop? How does that hurt anyone? If you agree with the boycott, let us know in the comments below how this affects the quality of your own life.

Meanwhile, here’s the video of the girl leading the boycott (who doesn’t even live in the same state as Bobby, by the way, so there’s no threat of them sharing a camping trip.)
