Polanski is a buffoon

How anyone can take the Green party leader Zac Polanski seriously is completely beyond me. He has zero grasp of economics, beyond conning women out of ££££s by pretending he could hypnotise them to increase their bust measurements. He is the worst representative of gay men who worship the men pretending to be women, with no regard for womens and girls' right to privacy, dignity and safety. The man is a 24 carat buffoon.

You did say that. You said it was morally wrong to support women’s sex based rights. The only person who has actually misrepresented anyone is you, remember that you already made up that this poster called you “hysterical” and used it to wang on about how sexist she was. She didn’t call you hysterical, it was a fabrication. “Hysterical” is a sex based insult, “unhinged” is not. You also pretended to be “young” when you aren’t. Desperate.

Please quote me then. So Gender identity is not a political priority for many men and women that's what I was arguing as it is not, they don't care, it doesn't impact their lives. Maybe they should be it doesn't. My opinions are mainstream, yours are extreme and so you can't see it.

I didn't claim to be young, I'm not old though, I'm young enough to not want to see the destruction of Liberal Democracies. I don't have time to naval gaze on an issue like others may. I'm looking around at the mainstream politics, the issues people care about and it's isn't gender identity as much as it is the housing crisis, the economy and unemployment levels.

Again, I apologised for that so why are you misrepresenting that? 'Unhinged' is the straight out of the Reform handbook, loosing an argument so name call and put into question the character of the person that has perfectly mainstream, reasonable opinions.

Again, I disagree with you so on to the next installment of the extreme right play book, close down the discussion by making it personal.

Why are you intent on destroying Liberal democracies where freedoms and rights of women are protected?

We’ve told you over and over again that the Green Party are front and centre in the destruction of women’s rights. They want to cede them all to men cosplaying as us.

Calling people shills is closing down discussion and making it personal.

I don’t actively dislike the Greens, I do think they might be dangerous though in a couple of areas, but I prefer mn doesn’t just become a Labour sounding board and I think the Greens suffer from some of Labour silencing too but you have to drop the shill stuff. It’s not correct and it’s unhelpful.

That's not supporting your argument at all as once again you have taken it out of context. It is morally wrong to encourage people to focus on one issue, the one issue that the extreme right have picked up on as their calling card to get the deluded to vote against their vest interests. To vote for the destruction of Liberal Democracies that do a hell of a lot more for women's rights than the extreme right!

if women’s rights are “extreme right” then the left is truly truly lost.

I think it’s very clear that it does support our argument. You just don’t like being shown up. Again.

Gender ideology is partially responsible for the threat to abortion rights in the US. By making abortion rights something that men can claim it allows men to speak over and for women on issues that affect only women.

Where does Polanski think people are going to live? He doesn't want to built on fields but was unlimited immigration. Maybe he want people to live underground or in massive sky scrapers.

As I explained in a previous post, I responded in kind to the bullying behaviour of someone i.e. me, I was called a sociopath and it got deleted. How is that not abuse?

Take your own advice here, it is a chat forum, I disagree with you, that's allowed.

Why don't you want to live in a Liberal democracy?

Of course we do. The fact that gender critical women happen to agree with the far right on this one issue does not mean that we’re promoting their cause. I fundamentally disagree with them about everything else.

What I want to happen is for left wing parties to take women’s rights to single sex spaces seriously. If they would do that, they’d have a better chance of winning back gender critical feminists, many of whom want there to be a left wing party they feel they can support.

For my part, I guess I will have to reluctantly vote Labour/Lib Dem. Because I do agree that Reform UK are a serious threat to liberal democracy and they have to be kept away from power.

Tax the super rich
protect the nhs
give renters more rights / lower rents
Legalise and regulate drugs
Clean up the water and nationalise water companies

Yeh, they're soundbites not clear and sensible policies.

It utterly baffles me that anyone thinks the Green Party are the bastion of a liberal democracy. Have you seen the way they carry on when women want to speak about our rights? They’re undemocratic and authoritarian.

Like when they all walked out at Bristol council when a member of the public tried to raise sex based rights and they couldn’t bear it to be discussed.

No you are wrong. I don't like bullies and I was reacting in kind. I have an opinion that I like what the Green party's other policies are highlighting namely wealth inequality and the environment. I added that the gender Identity issue does not have anything on the damage an extreme right wing government could do to women's rights, on that basis I don't believe we should leave the ECHR and that's exactly what those who don't want liberal democracies anymore are endorsing. You et al. did not like my opinion on preserving Liberal democracies and that the far right are the biggest threat to women's rights - 'you ain't seen nothing yet' if you think otherwise! I am entitled to share my opinion without an onslaught of abuse and I won't be shouted down. You don't agree I get it but at the end of the day MN isn't your own personal chat forum and you're going to have accept that I'm afraid.

I like many others who have mainstream opinions want to preserve Liberal Democracies. This is not an unconventional and off the wall opinion. Maybe question how far down the rabbit hole you have gone if you think it is!!

gender Identity issue does not have anything on the damage an extreme right wing government could do to women's rights

Personally I think the very worst thing that could happen is that women lose all their sex based rights and have to share spaces where they will be naked and vulnerable with predatory men.

What further damage do you think right wing parties could do? Rape conviction rates are already so low that rape is practically legal. DV, rape and sexual assault rates are not lowering. And left wing parties are directly putting women in danger by housing rapist males in prison with non-violent women.

What could right wing parties do that’s so much worse than forcing us to let predatory men into our safe spaces? Genuine question.
