Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈 (@patrickharvie) Tweeted:
An MSP just tried to effectively ban the word cisgender from Parliament. I know & respect that some people don't accept it or identify with it, and I used it yesterday in a way which positively reflected that. But many do identify with it, and that should be respected too. t.co/l8V6wNK4Uo twitter.com/patrickharvie/status/1235263009108480000?s=20

Patrick Harvie really dislikes uppity women.

It’s past time that guy gave up on any pretence of doing anything green.

And it’s past time that he gave up on telling women what Patrick Harvie decides what they can be called

It is cheeky fuckiry from Harvie
I don’t need to be defined as not being trans.
It is offensive for some power happy privileged guy to tell women what they are to be called

Unfortunately he is a list MP so to get him out we need pretty much no one to vote for green and a lot of people still think Green Party = environmental protection or as a protest vote. It is one of my biggest aversions to the PR system and that of list MPs; reprehensible individuals that no one voted for can still get in at the top of the party list. And with a minority government they can exert considerable power.

Cis, another made up word, just like ‘trans child’ are made up words.

TRA's: "We don't like labels. Don't label us."

Everyone else : "Great nor do we. Don't call us C*s it's insulting."

TRA's: "Uh no. You are either Trans or Cis so that is what I will describe you as."

EE: "HmmAngry. No, just no."

If Harvie wants to refer to himself in terms of being c*sgender, he can do that and sound like an eejit if he likes. What he arrogantly did yesterday was mansplain about women, feminism etc. & used a term many have repeatedly objected to, having been asked privately not to use such a term, & did all this in a discussion/debate about women. That is as brazen a display of misogyny as it's possible to get.
