So what your saying is: as a self-identified male, I can't be a UK Guide? Sounds gendered to me.
God only knows what those boys would get up to if they had freedom of association! ;- )
No, you can't.
Because girls need a safe space to be girls (without any boys around) a lot more than boys need any more spaces where they can be boys without any girls around (there's enough of those).

Please substantiate this.

Name one that isn't a sports team.
What an incredibly toxic, and factually incorrect, mindset to hold.
