The Green Party has no interest in the protection of women and children.

They're leaving themselves open to falling foul of the law soon.

I don't think that's up to the Green Party, is it?

Not given the number of MPs they have, but as a matter of party policy, an motion had been brought: "PROHIBIT GENDERGP FROM OPERATING IN UK on Grounds of Patient Safety, Lack of Child Informed Consent & Safeguarding Failures".

That was blocked or defeated - haven't seen the details.

I don't think that's up to the Green Party, is it?

They're even less likely to get into power based on all this!

(All I can think about now is 5 children and it.)

It's a shame as there are some really amazing and committed women in the Gp.

@BoreOfWhabylon

Am I right in thinking that "My Workplace" refers to the Webberley's Gender GP, where Kat is an (unqualified) advisor of some sort?
I don't think that can be said enough!
SunsetBeetch · 08/03/2021 15:16

I think they're just painfully ill-informed, WarriorN

Oh I was wondering what they meant by that.

Is that person in the U.K.?

I notice Julie Bindel has written a piece, not read it yet.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2021 15:13

"She or it"?

HermitsLife · 08/03/2021 15:11

And yes they need to rebrand

HermitsLife · 08/03/2021 15:11

Also "feminists have done just fine without sex based rights" 😣😮😕
Does that person think we're as stupid as they are?

I also have housework to do.

What the F is wrong with these people?? Shock

eve s
former dv/sv preventionist, now working in abortion access. abolish police, abolish prisons. she or it.

How can someone work in dv/sv prevention and abortion access and say this??

"sex based rights" is a framework made up within the last decade as a dogwhistle against trans women's inclusion in public life. feminists have done just fine without the "sex based rights" framework so far and declining to validate it is a judgment on bigots, nothing else."

Trolling, surely?? Confused

@WarriorN

Apparently if you search twitter that phrase only appeared in 2015.

Ergo, it's a new invention.

Bless. The year is significant though - that's when Stonewall started campaigning against single-sex exceptions.

Maslow and Carr are turning in their graves.

HermitsLife · 08/03/2021 15:08

Hang on I thought rights are not a pie. If they're going to lie to us is it too much for us to expect them to be consistent in the lie?

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 15:01

One day I will present a grammatically correct post. Not today.

The Green Party needs to re-brand.

It's lead name is no longer fit for purpose.

Nellodee · 08/03/2021 15:00

If you search the word “human” there are no Twitter results from before 2006, therefore humanity only arose in the last fifteen years, which explains the maturity of most of the comments.

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:59

Huge kudos goes to qualified law practitioners (solicitors and barristers) such as Allison Bailey who have struggled pass the racists, lesphobes, homophobes, sexists and classists.

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:52

What Eresh said.

I've long since come to believe that those in charge (men in particular) dont believe that women actually study law (applied law).

As a very young woman, I used to go to WH Smith and stand in the aisle reading a particular law book that was annually published.

Other women here will have their own own testimonies.

I can never spell privileged, oops.

No kids/ sooooo much mud in the porch to remove.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2021 14:43

They're claiming that "sex based rights" is a framework made up within the last decade as a dogwhistle against trans women's inclusion in public life.

Why exactly do they think the Equality Act 2010 includes sex as a protected characteristic, and replaced the older Sex Discrimination Act? Women need legal rights based on their female sex.

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:43

Yes.

Kitchen sink dramas.
