Green Party Elections - Candidates who know what sex is

66 replies

For any of you eligible to vote in the upcoming GP elections I've been passed a list of recommended candidates from a trustworthy source.

It's important to vote for only one candidate then add RON to that candidate's name. This means Re-open Nominations so stops a vote inadvertently going to the 2nd nominee once proportional representation is applied.

GC candidates to support are:

Equality and Diversity Co-ordinator - Rashid Nix and Dzaier Neil (jobsharing)

Internal Communications Co-ordinator - Zoe Hatch

Local Party Support Co-ordinator - Taymar Pitman

Publications Co-ordinator - Julia Lagoutte

Don't forget to put RON after you vote and feel free to share this list with other GP members.

@WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe

They're pretty much all a joke these days and I can't think of any party I'd vote for given the collective wokeness and capture they've all succumbed to. I've spoilt my ballot paper for the last 4 years on the issue of sex self-ID.

I'll never forgive the GP for their response to the Challoner debacle.

However, I think they are small enough to re think their policies without losing ££££. And if they do then maybe the other parties will follow.

I'm a pessimist normally but one has to have faith in changing the Overton window.

I found the SDP . I thought they were defunked but they're not. I don't know how their green policies compare because that hasn't been my priority in recent years but they're not woke and they haven't been captured. I joined. We have space to be heard there, I think.

The Greens are a joke.

They are a single issue party. Yet I never hear them talking about the very issue (the environment) that they're said to care about.

At this stage, UKIP are more credible than the Greens. At least UKIP achieved their aims.

That's a good point Libby; I don't like using the term GC to describe myself.

I'm a feminist and I recognise the need for sex based/female rights/ spaces.

GC has been framed as a "side" to be "against," when it's just recognising basic biological facts that most people hold.

I agree with @LibbyOTV labelling these candidates as GC may backfire, and may be untrue. One can recognise that women need to retain single sex rights, without being GC.

LibbyOTV apologies for using the term GC, I should've probably said candidates who understand the need to protect the rights of biological women.

Maybe we could ask them all the Staniland question or ask them to define woman? Have the hustings happened yet?

LibbyOTV · 22/07/2021 18:12

Hi - as someone who's quite involved in GP politics and knows a lot of these people, I wouldn't honestly say these candidates are all GC: what they have in common is that they won't stand for the intolerance and abuse of women who raise the GC perspective. Sadly in the current climate, tagging all these people as GC (when in truth not all of them would recognise that description of themselves) is likely to open them up to abuse and bullying themselves - plus more importantly it's not entirely accurate IMO.

TooNoisyTooLoud · 22/07/2021 17:13

I don't think there are any GC candidates for Equality and Diversity Coordinator

SpringCrocus · 22/07/2021 16:49

Can vouch for Zoe!

OhHolyJesus · 22/07/2021 09:25

Julia would also be a fantastic choice for that role.

I'll sign up as a member again, if they'll have me!

Thank you!

Evidencebased · 21/07/2021 20:28

Thank you.

WarriorN · 21/07/2021 20:12

Thanks! Can certainly vouch for Taymar Smile
