They're completely bonkers. It's almost as if they don't want people to vote for them.

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

Must take fucking ages to do the roll call at every meeting.

"Hi I'm Jenny, I'm an inclusive self identifying non-male, cisgender, pansexual vegetarian woman-LARPer, pronouns are it, of and oof, literal violence is violence, chocolate starfish are starfish, sksksksk save the turtles here's my hydroflask" etc

[willywillywillywilly]

Oh lord! Is that real?

At least they will have less time to deal with those pesky environmental issues the irritating supporters want them to focus on.

[Popchyk]

I am troubled by the references to the opposite of 'male' and 'female' since male and female are biological terms which do not exist. And if they don't exist, then how can self-identifying as the opposite exist? Tell me that.

But the main thing is that while environmental apocalypse is imminent, it is important to take the time to ensure that you self-identify as the opposite of something that you can't identify.

How can you reverse climate change without doing that?

Sorry, when I say 'climate change', I mean 'differences of environmental phenomena caused by self identifying non-females'.

[Grasspigeons]

Thats so absurd - who self identifies as the things they arent.

I might sign off as Non-reptile in future

[truthisarevolutionaryact]

Gloriously bonkers - and a tragic reminder that here is yet another political party completely unfit to govern

[willywillywillywilly]

Someone on the twitter thread suggested they were trolling their own party! I hope that's true

[AncientLights]

Can I identify as a non-ghost please?

[ArnoldWhatshisknickers]

It's almost as if they don't want people to vote for them.

Their wish is my command.

Seriously, why can't they just use plain English and stop excluding all the non-pomo-addled people, women and men alike?

[Popchyk]

"Thats so absurd - who self identifies as the things they arent".

Erm, the whole of the transgender movement?

[madeyemoodysmum]

This is so annoying as green were my go to as no one else to vote for. Now I have no one.

[Popchyk]

If Aimee Challenor were still in the Greens and had been selected for the co-chair role, then Challenor would fill the self identifying non-male slot. Because Challenor does not identify as male.

And if Rob Grant filled the other slot (self identifying non-female), then the Greens would state that the co-chairs are split 50:50 in terms of non-males and non-females.

Even though both slots are occupied by biological males.

[DreadPirateLuna]

Argh! You cannot urge people to "listen to the science" wrt climate change and spout non-science wrt sex. All of us who identify as non-idiots and non-fans of environmental destruction might like to vote for the non-blue non-red party, but not while they are spouting this non-sense.

See, this is the whole problem with mangling language.

I have no idea who either Liz Carlton or Rob Grant are, but ordinarily the use of 'self identifying' makes my first thought that the person 'self identifying as' in reality is not. So I would assume Liz is a man and Rob a woman.

[WrathoSWhlttIeKIop]

I identify as a non Klop.
Be very careful what you say

[littlbrowndog]

Who the fuck knows Arnold.

Are they all on drugs

😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🥶🥶🥶🤕🤕🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[ArnoldWhatshisknickers]

Don't know about them, littlebrowndog but I'm starting to wonder if I'm just stuck in a permanent bad trip.

Which would be weird as I've always avoided hallucinogens.

[DreadPirateLuna]

I identify as a non-landlubber engaged in non-legal trading

[littlbrowndog]

I liked the below from twitter

If top of your list defending trans rights includes conforming to fucking out
dated gender stereotypes and telling women to shut up and stay home if they don’t agree you can fuck right off and just keep fucking going til you get to Canada.

[picklemepopcorn]

Do they not see how this looks to people who are, you know, not on glue?

[littlbrowndog]

I feel like shouting all the time

Fuck off to Canada

[woman19]

Yeah absolutely ridiculous; next thing they'll be forcing an illegal coup on the country.



If it's a choice between the Brexist Incels in current charge of this country and the Green party I'd choose the Greens every time.

[CuriousaboutSamphire]

I can't breathe! No, really, I am having difficulty processing that! It has taken my breath away.

[averylongtimeago]

Do you think if DH and I identified as dogs we could get an EU pet passport?
DH says he can wee up trees and would be prepared to sniff the occasional bottom....
