Scottish Greens being sexist again

Wow even for Scotland this is crazy.

Tory MSP Murdo Fraser reported to police after 'no more Buddhists' Rangers tweet
A Tory party spokesman claimed Fraser's tweet was aimed at Russell Martin and "obviously a joke".

Tory MSP reported to Police over Rangers 'no more Buddhists or vegans' tweet
A Scottish Conservative MSP has been reported to police after he called for "no more vegans, Buddhists or Green Party members" at Rangers following the sacking of Russell Martin.
Murdo Fraser, a well-known fan of the Ibrox club, made the statement on social media on Sunday evening after news broke the Light Blues were once again on the hunt for a new manager.

Martin was sacked after a dismal 1-1 draw at Falkirk left Rangers languishing mid-table.
The person who complained to the police told the National: "My daughter, who is Buddhist, and many of her community friends feel insulted and marginalised by this statement. Such comments can perpetuate intolerance and division in our society."

A spokesman for the Scottish Green Party said in response to the original tweet: "This is a bizarre and ridiculous outburst, even by the repellent and undignified standards of Murdo Fraser.

"It is divisive and discriminatory and suggests Buddhists, vegans and Green supporters are not welcome around him - which is a pretty irresponsible message to be sending.

"If Rangers are to turn things around then the last person they should be taking lessons from is Murdo Fraser who represents a collapsing party and a worldview that is stuck firmly in the past."

Oh dear the Scottish Greens are looking boring compared to the hypnotic effect of ZP. ZP is even doing sexism better than the Scottish Greens because the Scottish Greens have crushed internal opposition. Fascinating article:

Where's Scotland's Jack Polanski? Scottish Greens are going nowhere
https://archive.is/YBwvY
Even though Polanski only joined the GPEW in 2017, previously having been a LibDem activist, his strategy and style of his so-called eco-populism is much more vibrant and energetic, appealing to the growing numbers impatient for progressive politics. With Mackay being labelled the frontrunner from the start, the Scottish Greens leadership campaign was low key and muted according to most observers.
The politics espoused by Polanski are a break from the past for the GPEW. Not only did he seek to be radical but he also sought to tie up environmental concerns with economic grievances. He’s promoting a wealth tax. Meantime, Greer and Mackay offered more of the same political platitudes of campaigning for a universal income, free bus travel and higher taxation on the rich.
It’s not that these are not radical policies per se but that they seem to be a rehash of much that went before. They seemed even more tired because they came from a party that not only had been in government between 2021 and 2024 but had also often supported the SNP as the Scottish Government since 2007.
The sense of stasis was heightened when Greer and Mackay made a fist of saying that gender critical feminists had no place in their party and then Mackay said her priority concerned decriminalising abortion.

How can Maggie Chapman be so wrong about everything?
From gender ideology, to prostitution, this muppet politician is neither use nor ornament

Great article:

Rebecca McQuillan Why is Green party putting trans rights before climate change?
When is a Green party not really a green party? When its red lines exclude climate activists.
New Scottish Greens co-leaders Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay have declared that activists who are passionate about tackling climate change but don’t think that a trans woman is the same as a biological woman, are not wanted in their party.
If on the other hand you oppose Scottish independence, which puts you at odds with another key Scottish Green party policy, then you would be welcomed, they say.
Members’ views on trans rights, uniquely, seem to have been elevated to the status of heresy test.
In one sense there’s nothing remotely surprising about this, since the Scottish Greens have consistently stuck to the same line on trans rights. But it’s remarkable in another sense, because the two new leaders are adopting a stance that effectively excludes sensible moderate people who thought the Scottish Green Party existed mainly to campaign on the environment. That’s potentially an awful a lot of people.

Not been in the spotlight much since being deselected Maggie now comes out for women selling their bodies.

Maggie Chapman MSP

Sex workers are experts on their own safety.

Ash Regan's Prostitution Bill claims to protect them, while completely ignoring their voices.

But Scotland For Decrim are advocating for the marginalised. I was honoured to sponsor their event, & stand up for workers' rights✊

Greer spouts off again. So many lies. Apparently Scottish women are incapable of knowing that women exist without Americans to tell them.

Then there is this travesty trying to conflate views on abortion with women's rights to have changing rooms and prisons again.

He said: “Many of these people want to row back access to abortion rights. Many of them are the same people who opposed what the Greens did creating those protest-free, harassment-free buffer zones outside hospitals that provide abortion services.
“We need to be absolutely clear about the agenda of so many of the people involved. Not everybody campaigning against the rights of trans people also oppose abortion rights. But I am yet to find someone who opposes abortion rights who does not also vociferously and viciously oppose trans rights.”

It seems Zack's plan to reunite the Green party England Wales with the Scottish Greens has run into a snag.

The Scottish Green party is a separate party because it split from the Green party England Wales because they didn't hate women enough. See article above for backstory.

GPEW is under Polanski trying to catch up in the cancelling women plan though they have run into a road block because pesky women keep saying things and wanting to attend conferences. The English Greens have a particularly vocal Baroness Jenny Jones who just keeps on thinking women exist she has only been in the Greens since 1988 so apparently she can be ignored. This has led to a huge online meltdown. For all this see the Green party thread.

Scottish Greens are lambasting the English for being too lax and defying holy writ. Rumour has it that they have a solution and are working on a pamphlet to finally solve the women problem In Scotland and south of the border too with the catchy title The Second Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstruous Regiment of Women.

Well their red line is getting plenty of publicity.

Telegraph - Voters should not back Scottish Greens if they do not think trans women are women, new leaders say

Be interesting if they stick to pushing that line in the May elections as a key issue for Scotland and what the result is. Saying people should not Green if they don't believe in gender stuff is a bold stance.
A lot of Indy Scots are interested in this section.

Asked if someone would be welcome in the party if they did not agree with the leadership on sex and gender, Mr Greer said:
“Would you expect the SNP to welcome people who oppose Scottish independence?
He added: "One of our core principles, one of the reasons that we exist, is equality, and that is LGBT equality."

This indicates the Green party leaders are very happy to have the support of unionist voters, but it's "a red line" if you don't share their belief that TWAW.
