Any gender critical Green Party members on here?

Knitted how do you feel about being a non- man?

Genuine question.

Yes they do, they have different groups which you can join for specific topics. I might ask a question actually.

'Get your voices heard' - do they listen, though? Or only to carefully approved non-heretics?

Green party member here, if you don't agree with the policies get involved and get your voice heard!

I am not a member but vote for them, on the grounds that I cannot support the Labour Party because of their lack of action against anti-semitism by some party members, their lax stance on Brexit, and I am someone who lives a car-free lifestyle. The Lib Dems supported too many things in government that I object to.

I am in effect voting for the least worst option, on the grounds that I always take part in the political process so I have validity in criticism. I consider myself one of those who Tony Blair talked about as being politically homeless.

which talks about supporting the removal of the spousal veto where transpeople require written permission from their partner for their marriage to continue if they get a GRC

The Scottish GRA consultation suggest that they would like to remove the GRC being grounds for divorce...

I think the twitter feed above has gender critical people on there but their transgender policy is very worrying...

There's a whole section on transgender, which talks about supporting the removal of the spousal veto where transpeople require written permission from their partner for their marriage to continue if they get a GRC.

And then as well... it says that: "The NHS should remove barriers to accessing services for trans people, with thorough review of access to services for Children and Young People and for those who have self prescribed or self funded gender treatment in the UK or abroad"

I would like to join the Greens, is there a gender critical movement inside or it’s all
Transwomen are women?

"I've started calling them the 'non-red party'. See how they like them non-pears."

Love it!

Could you sort of say, "as you're taking a break from politics just now, can I have a go with the Whig name for a bit?"

I wonder how you claim 'ownership' of being the Whig party? (not that I'm intending anything, just musing). They seem to be a small number of people who stood in south London a while ago, just as the SDP is currently a small number of people who stand in Sheffield, but I wouldn't say they seem very SDPish.

The WEP is never going to be something that men en masse are going to vote for. We were trying to explain the suffragette centenary last night to our son and DH said, it was fought by women against men but it wasn't that simple. There were people of both sexes on both sides. A generalisation but I think the articles I have seen from men are better at ridiculing this agenda. There is less threat of violence from TIMs to men when men do speak up. We need to continue engaging both women and men (and both left and right wing politics), it we are to succeed.

It would be interesting to know why the Whigs seem to have flopped...

Also as an aside, if Corbyn is so keen on the youth vote, why is he still supporting brexit?

This might be controversial but I feel a party that was named and operated like this for example, might get further than one that actively stood for women's rights if that makes sense. Eg; my Dh might vote for this if all the policies stood up but not necessarily a party like the WEP - It's unconscious bias but I think men and women might do that.

I remember learning about the whigg view of history during history a-level and feeling that it was more sensible than the other one/s.

Though 'man is a selfish animal' would certainly explain history to me these days...

The whigg party has already been revived, but sadly seem to have gone to ground since britexit. I follow then on fb, but not a sausage has been posted for a long time, and the last post seemed so embittened.

Place marking - want to join GP but can’t get behind their self affirm stance

I've started calling them the 'non-red party'. See how they like them non-pears.

I'm a long standing GP member. I won't leave but I've disengaged for the moment. I sometimes like someone else's gender critical comments on the GPEW FB page but that's as far as I feel brave enough to do.

I'm an LP member. Can't wait until this issue comes up in my CLP but I will rip up my card and vote Tory if they scrap the proposed amendment.

For example : ‘Greens and Labour, you are wrong re trans’.
Or : ‘Green party, I would have voted for you except for your stance on prostitution’.

Hope you see what I mean.

*party

Just a quick note to say - if you feel no paety is adequately representing you and you’d like to send various parties in general a message on a specific issue like this, go to vote and spoil your ballot paper by writing on it what you think. Generally the major parties supervise the spoilt ballot papers process at the count and so someone will see it. If enough people do this, partic in areas with slim majorities, it should prompt some party organisers to think on.

I've seen a couple of tweets by LDs which state they are pro self-ID on women's shortlists too.

But I can't find them again.

That's where I am led to believe that they are.

Jo Swinson certainly is pro self-ID though.
