Green Party lawyers warn guidance on identifying ‘queerphobia’ risks discriminating against members who question gender ideology

The Green Party is tearing itself apart over internal trans guidance, a leaked dossier has revealed.

The 53-page report on legal and reputational risk to the party, leaked to The Telegraph, exposes an extraordinary row over the party’s policies on transgender and LGBT rights.

It poses material legal and financial risks to Zack Polanski’s movement, the dossier reveals.

The report, drawn up by the party’s own lawyers, raises concerns over “expulsions” of members who question gender ideology.

It says these have not always followed “due process”, suggesting party lieutenants have been taking disciplinary action against members because of “individual hostility to gender-critical beliefs, or assumed beliefs”.
It warns such sanctions “should only be undertaken in extreme circumstances” and that action against gender-critical members is sapping morale and “failing to inspire the trust and confidence of large numbers of party members”.

The report also reveals the party is spending almost £200,000 a year on its legal costs and external investigations of disciplinary cases, threatening its ability to carry out key functions.

It is depressing to know that some, in seeking a new party because they feel let down by the one they have traditionally supported, seems more than happy to support one that doesn't support women's sex based rights.

It sure is, not only because it shows they are happy to forget all about women's rights, but also, more generally, that it shows the sheer lack of critical thinking. And this from people who doubtless like to think of themselves as the intelligentsia! Have they even bothered to have a good look at the Green Party in recent times?

"queerphobia" now! has 'transphobia' been upsurged? are they changing the narrative again, they're going to run out of phobia's soon.

Despite been barn pot crazy, the Green Parties membership keeps raising, so may be the leadership thinks it has money to burn because it can always relay on the membership for more.

Love that they criticise their own lawyers as "factually inaccurate" and then spout the TWAW mantra to remind us all what incoherent muppets they are

Imagine writing a report that so clearly and thoughtfully explains why their policy is unlawful and discriminatory - only to see them give an official statement in response reiterating that policy.

It's an ill wind... 😀None of these puff-pieces ZP seems to be hoovering up from, as PE would say, gullible hacks, seem to bother asking him how the GP came to agree with this anti-science rubbish.

Perhaps because: "The report also reveals the party is spending almost £200,000 a year on its legal costs and external investigations of disciplinary cases"

Begs the question: why didn’t the party’s lawyers point this out several years ago, when the Green Party first began to get enmeshed in this unscientific, misogynistic, anti-safeguarding ideology?
