Scottish Greens being sexist again

With Sparkles no longer a member other male Scottish Greens have had to step up to continue their terrible reputation. They are doing their bit.

Scottish Greens council candidate claimed JK Rowling was a Holocaust denier and said trans rapist Isla Bryson was a woman
Exclusive: Eryn Browning has been chosen by the Scottish Greens to contest a by-election in Clydebank Waterfront but offensive historic posts have resurfaced.

There is hope the Scottish Greens might plunge into civil war after their conference. Patrick Harvie is standing down as leader but Slater is standing again and there is opposition over her elitist behaviour.

'TRANSGENDER MSP Q Manivannan has called for biological males to be able to use Holyrood’s ladies’ loos – flouting the law on single-sex spaces.
The politician dismissed women’s fears of being sexually assaulted – bizarrely insisting men should be banned from men’s toilets as they can also assault each other.'

Manivannan is essentially speaking on behalf of big Iris. The pair of them are providing a really helpful illustration of the issue.

Manivannan is a posh bloke who likes talking down to women. A tale as old as time.

Marginalised identity? He’s a hugely privileged young man who has post grad degrees from two leading universities (Trinity College Dublin and St Andrews) and is now a parliamentarian in a country where he is not (yet) a permanent resident. How many working class women are hidden in the “quiet corners” with no voice?

Well he looks like a lovely lass.

Are they not supposed to have one male and one female co-leader? How will they know?! Absolute fuckwits.

Nice to know Iris is using Iris's time productively in the community.

It's not a coincidence it's called manspreading.

Oh Mr Q, what will you do

That is apparently a pretty fancy house in Chennai.

RoamingToaster · 10/07/2026 12:38

The Greens will support him not matter what at this point. It’s ridiculous.

Scottish Greens accused of 'blatant hypocrisy' as party goes silent on second home MSPs
Ross Greer says landlords don't 'contribute anything useful to society'... so what about his new MSP who rents out a flat in Glasgow's trendy Strathbungo?

'Student visa' MSP Q Manivannan owns a house in India worth up to £250,000, while South Scotland MSP Laura Moodie has a flat in Glasgow that she rents out for up to £10,000 a year.

Yes Maggie PersonPerson, it's terrible that women are being acknowledged as people isn't it?

Turtlesgottaturtle · 18/07/2026 09:30

The Edinburgh Fringe has been very big on inviting men into the women's toilets, with signs up saying that people are welcome in the women's toilets if they identify as female or even are just "presenting" as female (cross-dressers rather than trans-identifying). And the Traverse theatre had that kind of encouraging sign up when I was there. Is there anything women can do if these organisations continue to do this?

Maggie was present and applauding at the speech described in this article.

'In a controversial address in Dundee last April after the Supreme Court ruled biology defines gender, Molly also ranted through a loud hailer: “After this protest I’m going to use a women’s toilet. Then I’m going to use another women’s toilet. F you JK Rowling, you’ll never stop me from peeing. The only person who’s s* is you.
“We should all take a s on you, you heinous, creepy old bitch.'

Holy crossing the thread streams. He's got another couple of threads featuring plus polycule already

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5560961-polycule-falls-apart?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=share

Maybe the polycule is some kind of nexus. Lets hope if it completely breaks down gender twaddle goes with it.
