For being repeatedly misgendered.

However, listening to the recording, it's clear that the councillor tries very hard to get it right, but struggles with the ensuing grammatical errors it forces him to make.

The Greens have a habit of walking out. A great new political strategy called the no debate flounce.

It's not "discriminatory" ffs. They appear to have been attempting to correct themselves having been unaware of the demands from this person. And why would anyone know without being specifically informed?! I'd be furious if they were my representative that they were letting a minor issue of naming/reference get in the way of actually representing.

Look at all the misgendering in his green party biography.

Literal violets everywhere, maybe Danny should report Danny for discrimination

“I’ve been informed that I’ve been misrepresenting the councillor,” Mr Vaughan said. “I should have said ‘them’ rather than ‘he’. So I do apologise for that. And I think that’s what affected him, is it? Them, sorry. So my apologies to him. To them. Sorry.”

This is probably my favourite paragraph in a newspaper ever.

Christ. I mean... aren't there more serious issues to be discussed in Newham such as poverty, health inequality, safeguarding, environmental issues..

The poor man is trying to hard to get it right, but keeps slipping up. Even at the very end he says he'll apolgise to HIM when he catches up later. The hoops people are expected to jump through.......
