The Green Party has no interest in the protection of women and children.

I often wonder if there are some secret Tory undercover agents working in Greens Lib Dems and Labour who's job it is to make all their rivals totally unelectable

From Bindel's article:

The Green's record on women's rights is a disgraceful one. In 2019 its Regional Council (GPRC) announced the appointment of the two new co-chairs, describing them as 'Self identifying Non-Male Co-Chair: (female)' and 'Self identifying Non-Female Co-Chair: (male)'

Do they honestly think that makes them look credible?

It's just as well the Green Party's chance of winning a general election is about that of a gnat's fart in a tornado.

HeadIsFucked · 08/03/2021 17:29

[quote Ereshkigalangcleg]I think it's worth supporting the other co-chair though. She's a brave woman.

Genocide transwomen indeed Hmm

TinselAngel · 08/03/2021 18:12

Genocide transwomen indeed

That individual has form for being shall we say, economical with the truth.

KateF · 08/03/2021 18:44

I was waiting for the outcome of this and a couple of other motions to decide whether I could continue to support the Greens. Just cancelled my membership ☹️

I have no idea how to use my vote now. I've never missed an opportunity to vote in my life but I can't vote Tory, never have, never will. Better hope Labour can get their act together before the next GE.

DadJoke · 08/03/2021 23:27

Does anyone have the details of the motion? I’ve not been able to find a link.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 09/03/2021 00:08

Talk about delusions of grandeur! Can someone please remind Bigelow they have literally no power and authority on this issue. We do. The GP is finished.

TherapistInATabard · 09/03/2021 00:30

@HermitsLife

Also "feminists have done just fine without sex based rights" 😣😮😕 Does that person think we're as stupid as they are?
That line made me cry with pure rage and despair! On IWD when so many horrific statistics have been shared. Luckily ‘it’ (their pronoun) only has 5 followers and seems to live in the US.

FFS are these twats going to make me vote Tory?!

WarriorN · 09/03/2021 07:21

John Cleese has asked to be called "it." Grin

DisillusionedTech · 09/03/2021 09:28

Shame I didn’t see the ‘genocide’ comment earlier. I did show Bristows tweet to my OH this morning as a reminder as OH used to vote Green in local elections. A regular reminder they are still embroiled in identify politics is useful.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/03/2021 09:32

Some women in 2015 mentioning sex based rights for the first time.

This is worth a read. A member resigning. Note what he says (not sure where and when) the lgbtq+++ group say about womens sex based rights:

He also only recently became aware of the issue.

TabbyStar · 09/03/2021 20:41

I saw that earlier. Good for him. I noted the lack of die in a fire and rape threats, seems people in the GP can distinguish sex....

TheRabbitOfCaerbannog · 09/03/2021 20:48

What a very clear sighted and level headed response to the fanaticism that is gripping the party.

WarriorN · 09/03/2021 20:50

Bristow is going to lie on the census according to twitter.

Beamur · 09/03/2021 21:00

It's illegal to lie to the census...

WarriorN · 09/03/2021 21:08

Yep and is now apparently a councillor candidate.

None of this, gender Gp included, is stacking up well when it comes to trust and safeguarding, is it?

In the light of today's legal ruling, Bristow has straight up admitted to completing the census incorrectly, which is illegal. Way to go.

"So doesn't really change anything, I and most trans women are going to put female still, trans men are still going to put male. Will just make the data a little less consistent."

'So doesn't really change anything, I and most trans women are going to put female still, trans men are still going to put male. Will just make the data a little less consistent."

That's just bloody stupid. What do they think the census is for? It's not for validation. All they're doing is making it harder for the govt and various other bodies to determine what trans-specific resources and services are needed. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

OhHolyJesus · 10/03/2021 07:42

Bristow is getting ratioed

twitter.com/katbristowgreen/status/1369353917448994822?s=21

The guidance will say refer to your birth certificate or GRC, with Bristow doesn't have.

With those responses they can subtract the number of GRCs. Though that's ineffective as it doesn't give numbers in the male/female split, but it's better than Self ID of sex and the argument to remove the gender identity question was never made, that is an optional extra.

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 10/03/2021 08:00

I see Bristow has stated multiple times in that thread that they are actually female.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 10/03/2021 08:00

I really don't understand why transpeople are literally erasing themselves Hmm

BraveBananaBadge · 10/03/2021 08:38

That is some ratio, pp! I'm sure they'll only consider it a hateful pile on of phobes denying their existence, etc. Looks like the only reply they've bothered to interact with is a GP spokesperson and ignored the rest.

Beamur · 10/03/2021 08:44

I get that for some transpeople, indicating their birth sex is uncomfortable. But if this is answered incorrectly, it will skew the census into recording transwomen as women - whilst that may be their intention, you have to consider the reasons for taking the census. It's to provide accurate data for the Government to use in forming policy and allocating spending.
If transpeople without a GRC vanish from the demographic, then the Government is unlikely to conclude that more and better services for those people are needed.
