Shouldn't transwomen rename themselves since they have absolutely nothing in common with actual women?

Some of the Green Women’s Declaration women went on Free Speech Nation on GB News last night to talk about their experiences, they’re near the beginning.

It is good to hear from Dr Pallavi Devulapalli. What a shame to lose these women’s voices in the party.

Shouldn't the Green's Women rename themselves to take out the "Green" part? They seem to be focused on trans people and have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Greens.

They are about womens rights. Not 'trans'. Unlike the main Green party.

Shouldn't the actual Greens remove the word from the party since they are obsessed with promoting trans and don't give a stuff about the environment.

Mindboggling that a political party that wants to be taken seriously can be so cavalier in its attitude towards the law of the land.

This is from Greens internal legal report that was leaked to the Daily Telegraph

Pg 10 & 11.
…internal party rules designed to allow a party to penalise a protected characteristic or the holding or expression of protected beliefs by its members will not be viewed by the courts as a valid get-out clause allowing the party to discriminate against individuals expressing such beliefs…
For this reason, the Green Party’s “Guidance to Identify Queerphobia”, appended to the Party’s Framework for Ethics and Conduct by Green Party Regional Council (GPRC) in 2023 and being used to guide the deliberations of the Party’s disciplinary bodies, is highly problematic in its current form.
This guidance defines “transphobia” as including: “Actions which convey a view that trans women are not ‘real women’, are men and/or are male people; trans men are not ‘real men’, are women and/or are female people; and/or non-binary genders and identities do not exist or are invalid.
Regardless of the merits or otherwise of such views, they refer to the expression of a protected belief under the Equality Act, and the Party cannot lawfully discriminate against its members for holding or expressing such a belief.

Curious if you could sue reform if they didn’t allow a refugee helpline stall.

Green party have said which side of the fence they’re on, either vote for them because they align the most with your political aims or don’t, surely.

After the Forstater EAT the law is that GC beliefs are a protected characteristic so a political party isn't allowed to discriminate against those holding such beliefs. Supporting refugees is not a PC.

The reality denying cult followers are on a hiding to nothing if they punish those who won't bend the knee.

I think you have jumped.

I dont read it regularly so was wondering if they had ever bothered to make similar comments about the Labour Party.

Even when there are schism in the left many still hang onto this traditional idea that you dont criticise in public.

But maybe they have written about Labour's women problem

Seriously. This is a thread about the Greens and the current case.
Why the whataboutery? Agree with the article I posted or criticise it I couldn't care less.
If you want to know what else he's written do your own research.

Nil points for jumping to conclusions. Nothing to do with Labour Party

Welcome to Labour Heartlands, a news outlet unbound by the traditional constraints of political party narratives or the mainstream media. Our mission is clear: We are dedicated to challenging the pervasive system of neoliberalism, which has found favour with all major UK political parties. Unfortunately, even the Labour Party has succumbed to this system, forsaking the very individuals they were initially created to advocate for. It is within this context of abandonment that we aim to be a voice for those who have been left behind.

Someone posted this on facebook and all I thought was pot kettle.

Okay so Labour may not have had the court cases but look at the women they have abused and pushed out, for instance Rosie Duffield.

I wonder what Labour Heartlands has to say about that.

A great (long) polemic on the state of the Greens.

labourheartlands.com/the-green-partys-war-on-reality/

Is it possible for a political party to claim it is saving the planet while simultaneously denying the most fundamental biological reality of the species that inhabits it?

The dossier reveals that the Green Party spent £190,000 on legal battles in 2024 alone. A further £350,000 was allocated across its 2025 and 2026 budgets to defend against claims from current and former members. The party’s own lawyers warned that these sums constitute what they called a ‘substantial proportion of the Party’s actual and projected income’ and that they are restricting funds needed for staffing, political campaigning, and the payment of local party capitations. In plain English: the Green Party is spending more money fighting its own women than it is spending on elections.

Given the Greens appear to be hyper-fixated on trans people, why discriminate against the Green Women's Declaration for pointing out the effect that has on actual women?

Curious that you don’t want them to take out the ‘Women’ part of their name, seeing as you maintain that Green Women’s Declaration are focused on trans people.

Green Women’s Declaration does exactly what it says on the tin: focus on women. You just don’t like that. Wrong sort of ‘women’, hmm?

TWETMIRF · 06/03/2026 09:24

Yes, please do explain Chris how the Green Party puts environmental issues as their top priority. Personally I feel they should change to the pink party if they want to still be a colour or maybe the penis party as making penises happy seems to be their main function these days. They are all for equal opportunities, they make the penises of both men and women happy.

SirChenjins · 05/03/2026 13:32

Oh there you are with your nonsense, Chris - you're nothing if not consistent. The Green Party should be the ones to take out the Green, and replace it with Men's Rights - you could be their poster boy.

Well done those women. It's a shame it's come to this, but the GP need to be taken to task over the issue.

They're focused on the fact that they are being discriminated against, nothing to do with 'trans'. Gender ideology is a batshit crazy ideology that is deeply misogynistic, that's what they're fighting back against.

I hope they win, the Greens have always been a bit nutty, but they completely jumped the shark these last few years, for the same reason Labour has, they're saying whatever they have to say to get the vote's.

Maybe they are actually focussed on Green issues? Gender identity is certainly not an environmental issue....

Its good to have long threads to go into detailed discussion, for those who have the time!

But can mean a significant development like this doesn't get generally known.

So good to have this thread, as the info in the title is really inspiring.

Go Green Women's Declaration!

This could be really interesting.

If they win it open's up other political parties who operate a form of sexism in their way of working, decision making!

seconded! I can't read 40 page discussions all the time...

If a new thing happens - we need a new thread with a descriptive title like this one
