I was just coming here to post this! Well done, Shahrar Ali:
What Is A Woman?
Statement by Shahrar Ali, 20 July 2020
A woman is commonly defined as an adult human female and, genetically, typified by two XX chromosomes. These facts are not in dispute nor should they be in any political party. We campaign for the rights of women and girls to be treated equally on the basis of the protected characteristic of biological sex, as enshrined in the Equality Act 2010.
In society, women and girls suffer disproportionately from a number of social and institutional harms, such as domestic violence and gender pay discrimination. Internationally, abhorrent practices such as infanticide and Female Genital Mutilation still need to be overcome.
In recent decades, thankfully, society has moved on in many aspects of equality, but there is still much to be done. Gender reassignment is another protected characteristic and we will fight for the rights of trans people according to their assigned gender, too. It is right that those who are currently disadvantaged should gain the equality they justly deserve.
Greens will continue to fight oppression wherever it occurs and we will use plain English to communicate our aims to the electorate, clearly, credibly and consistently'
