Dancing on stage in knee-high boots, PVC underwear and posing provocatively with a riding crop, Paula Southin, a transgender activist, performs an erotic routine using the stage name Violette Hue in a lewd online video.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Southin, who was born a man, is also a former Girl Guide leader and member of a key committee tasked with helping shape the future of the 116-year-old movement.
Astonishingly, the 58-year-old amateur burlesque performer was one of at least four trans activists who were asked by Girlguiding – previously The Girl Guides Association – to explore opportunities for trans girls and trans women to be ‘supported’ by the organisation.
