'TheGreenParty have begrudgingly accepted that it would be prudent to un-expel me. I was expelled in January 2023 but following 2 disciplinary hearings, 2 appeals, further appeal reviews and specific legal advice, that decision has been reversed.'

'I am still barred from standing from office for 18 months, mostly because@TheGreenParty
insists that the sacred sex status of a male who claims to be female must be revered. According to the Appeals Committee, to question that is “reprehensible.”'

'I think it is safe to say officials were loathe to let me back in. My membership is a game of hokey cokey so I may not last long, because it seems in@TheGreenParty
everything everywhere all at once is queerphobic and complaints are spun from nothing.'

'@TheGreenParty
just shut down the women's space and shut up@GreenPartyWomen
because the party is yet to grasp that the women problem it thinks it has (that it cant get rid of the pesky TERF's) is not its real women problem.'

'TheGreenParty's real woman problem is that the grinding away of our rights by forceful gender fanatics is being seen, questioned, and will be challenged in court by women who will not give up and give over our party.'

Just over a week to garden for Emma at crowdjustice.

It is such a pity that good people like Emma and Shahrir have been forced to use their talents and energy fighting their party rather than campaigning to effective measures to combat climate change.

But the special feelz of a tiny number of men are clearly way more important than the existential threat of climate change 🤷‍♀️

The GPEW seems like it might be salvable, or it might be a self-solving problem when the legal costs accrued by their MRA members come due, and the party is rendered financially impotent.

At what point is a political party so broken that it's no longer worth salvaging? Asking for a Democrat friend in the US.

(It's me I'm the Democrat friend help how do we fix this)

She's brilliant, amazing that they had to back down on her expulsion. The times they are a changing.

I'm glad for her - although can't help but think she'd be far better out of such a spiteful, toxic environment.
