Reasons why I have voted in the past for the Green Party: concern about the environment and climate change, sustainable transport policy, good MEPs like Molly Cato

Reasons why I will not vote for the Green Party now: women are 'non men', appalling safeguarding failures around Aimee Challoner and David Challoner, awful treatment of Andy Healey and other GC greens, Veritas report, exclusionary behaviour of KB who cannot represent females and openly lied on the census etc

Above all, there's such a death grip embrace of gender woo that begs the question whether the Green Party leadership properly understand about biology, science, nature etc all while a climate emergency is unfolding around us with floods and fires, that this is what they are focusing on...

So thank you, Hazel Pegg Flowers

Kathryn was joint chair of the Green's women's section with Emma Bateman; Emma was pushed out and Kathryn silenced all discussion

One wonders whether Kathryn and democratic process are ever going to be friends.

I would pay good money to see a rapping duck.

In German ducks say quak quak and in Danish they say rap rap.

In French they say 'coin, coin', and roosters say cocorico!

"No one should tell you what to put on the census, massive over reach by the ONS."

Seriously lacking insight over the situation. What has gone so wrong that feelz over rides law?

@mollythemeerkat

In the decades ahead, might this make good material for a TV comedy, its all just so gloriously and horribly bonkers.
Glinner will write one

I’d love to see Manus come out as trans on Motherland. Amanda would handle it perfectly!

@OhHolyJesus

Just found these...
'The ONS wouldn't tell any other group what to put on the census, why are trans people different? The only answer is transphobia' Hmm

FFS how deluded is this person? The ONS doesn't care about your feelings or need for validation, I would love to put that I'm still 21, but that IS NOT REALITY.

Someone says something I don't like? WAH WAH transphobia!!! So tiresome. The fact that this person is blatantly bragging about it shows their supreme arrogance. The rules don't apply to me, I'm too special.

'I know what my sex is'...eh, yes but you are pretending otherwise.

'No one can tell you what you should put on the census, this is massive overreach by the ONS'.

The only one overreaching here is this narcissist overreaching the bounds of reason.

I see that Bristow had another fundraising attempt earlier this year for facial feminisation surgery and raised £120 out of a goal of £22,000.

@QueenPeary

breatheandfocus I’m a woman with short hair, always have been. I’m also quite GNC, often wear jeans and t-shirt with no make-up, wear big boots etc but nothing out of the ordinary. I happen to be a straight, adult human female woman and in no way LBGTQ+++ at all, but in the last few years it’s been funny to see certain people tie themselves up in knots trying not to say the wrong thing or misgender me or direct me to the wrong toilets, in case I’m NB or identify as a man or whatever and might bite their head off.

It’s tragic. In the 80s/90s I was just a straight woman with short hair and my pick of the lads! Now I’m potentially not a woman.

I think I just wet myself a bit at the last line.

Me too, yes, me too.

@ScreamingMeMe

Yup. Seems standard for trans Green Party members to strop off claiming trabsphobia when the issue is actually their behaviour...

IANAL, but I can't see the court case going anywhere.

That is not limited to the Green Party, that is the entire trans lobby movement worldwide.

Damning resignation letter from Carey-Fuller.

@Datun

Bristow is suing them for 'gender based discrimination'.

Should be interesting. I wonder what the definition of that is.

Given the greens don't have a policy for the protected characteristic of sex, as described in the statement above, I'm thinking all the women in the group should sue the greens.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

Jane Fae's name appears in lower case on Twitter but not elsewhere, as far as I know. It's not Fae's natal surname, so we can assume was chosen for similar reasons to the fae pronoun users'. Fae is of course the self absorbed narcissist who chose the night before daughter's AS levels to announce 'I'm transitioning'. Previously a campaigner for the right to download and view extreme pornography.
This is a link re how his wife was going to stick by him despite him wanting to transition.

I wonder which pronouns she uses....?
