"I felt very upset but then very angry because it's just not fair that because I was born a girl they won't let me in," Joe told CNN.

Effie Delimarkos, director of communications for the Boy Scouts of America, said in a statement that Joe "does not meet the eligibility requirements to participate in this program," and that the Boy Scouts referred him to alternative programs.

The statement added that the Boy Scouts "defer to the information provided for an individual's birth certificate and their biological sex" in determining who can join.

Girl Scouts of the USA, a separate organization, had addressed transgender issues a different way.

Its policy says that "if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe."

What the hell is wrong with people?

2. Despite progress, we still live in a barbaric society in many ways. And some just love to

hate and persecute others. It's their motivation in life, it feels good to them to hate and persecute, even little kids.
