Well I certainly wasn't consulted.
The only time this has come up for me is at conference where it actually made sense because man after man raised their hands to speak and JJ who was chairing decided she wanted to encourage women to speak. I think someone in the wings advised her to ask 'people who don't identify as male' to put their hands up Wasn't really an issue at the time and the end result was a plenery much less male-dominated than it would have been. Yes, one or two transwomen spoke alongside the rest - good for them! Insightful, interesting perspectives which in no way detracted from my right to speak. Don't get all the fear and suspicion of transwomen on mumsnet at all. Fear of the other perhaps?
For me, the main issue which arises from this is equality for transmen. If 'non-men' are referred to, surely this doubly excludes those who spent their early lives female and then transitioned to male?
The Greens are flawed, undoubtedly, but it's an ongoing conversation. If you don't like one of the policies you just find a small group of people who agree with you and submit a motion to conference to change It. Actually surprisingly democratic compared to most political parties. Yes, it's still male dominated - it exists within a patriarchal society and unintentionally reflects it. I couldn't tell you the number of times I've sat on my hands, afraid to say what I needed to, and been almost hypnotised watching one man after another chip in with such natural authority although their points were no more pertinent or informed than mine. I've sat there wondering where this dominance comes from and how we tackle it.
The thing is, it's a work in progress. If you disagree with something the main barrier you normally face is that of speaking up and being heard. It isn't a conspiracy to undo the progress women have made, it's just some voices are still more dominant than others, and those are the ones that are heard. We're just a bunch of people trying to do the right thing and often getting it wrong, really. Like many other organisations. At least the intention to increase equality is there.
