Anyone wanting to support greens but really stuck on their trans beliefs and policies?

I used to vote Green when I was young (and when the Green Party was about the environment).

i wouldn’t vote for them now. Aside from the gender stuff I don’t like many of their people… Zack Polanski creeps me out, especially after all the hypnotits nonsense. And Sian Berry is awful - I used to live a few doors away from her so have met her quite a few times - was so disappointed, she’s an idiot!

I don’t vote for them because there’s not a chance they could run the country well. The gender bollocks is just the icing on the cake.

Agreed OP. They're great on everything but this in my opinion. My view is that they are not going to have any sway on this issue, the tide has turned.

So I'm GC but have joined and will campaign cos overall their policies and the positive impact they will have on women, as well as other stuff, far outweighs stupid statements about transwomen which don't actually reflects the party's politics and how female dominated it had always been.

Don't get me wrong, some candidates I would NEVER support but the more I've been involved the more normal I see most greens are and many are like us and are just putting up with TWAW until it blows over which it will.

Meantime though we do need this left wing and hopeful voice on everything else as the climate crisis, poverty and far right need tackling

Yes, it's a real shame OP. I consider them a bit of a joke party these days, they don't even have many credible green policies.

Just a woman hating, omni-cause group of fanatics, sadly.

No don't. If they can be bonkers about sex then the rest is rubbish too. Sure, anyone can write stuff that sounds good... i know it's jam packed with TRAs since they've left the other parties to go to this mad one so i don't think there's any saving it

Am an ex Green voter

Yes. I voted green but won’t again until
they change this (and I think another anti-female also put me off - possibly about sex work or surrogacy I can’t remember).

Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, even if they gave you £1000 and a Lucky Bag if you voted for them! @RoyalCorgi sums it up!

Tbf I wouldn't have voted for them anyway as I think their policies are generally overly optimistic and light on how they would deliver but it's an absolute hard no from me now that Zak 'TWAW/GC women are awful bigots' is in charge

I feel the same.

Their position on sex and gender is a hard red line for me, which is a shame as many (not all, not by any means all!) of their other positions appeal to me greatly.

Amusingly, the Greens deputy leader objected to asylum seekers being housed in her constituency:

They're not just pathetic, they're hypocritical as well.

I don't think they are that hot on Green policies either.

When it comes to practical solutions, there doesn't seem to be much agreement.

They seem completely side tracked by the 'omni-cause' and occupying the space vacated by the squabbling left of labour factions.

Voted green in the past but they switched to wanting open borders and I can’t agree. So it’s not just one policy that’s a problem.

The Green Party in government will:

1. Implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration
2. Treat all migrants as if they are citizens
3. Give all residents the right to vote
4. Help families to be together
5. Dismantle the Home Office
6. Abolish the No Recourse to Public Funds condition
7. Abolish the ten year route to settlement
8. Stop the profiteering from application fees
9. Stop putting people in prison because of their immigration status
10. Accept our responsibility for the climate emergency and support the people forced to move

I used to vote for them but haven't since they went gender woo. So disappointing.

Yes. I'm a peak potential green voter but until they cut out their sexism I won't vote for them.

I always used to vote for them in the European Parliament elections <<wistful>>.

Unfortunately gender bollocks is a hill the Greens are willing to die on, and any dissent will be silenced, quietly or loudly (cf Sharrar Ali and Bristol e.g. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5440509-bristol-green-councillors-wield-pro-trans-placards-as-war-of-words-with-womens-rights-activists-reignites).

I would love there to be an ecological party that was not also science-denying and authoritarian. The Greens aren't it and don't even pretend to be it.
