TUSC - anybody know their policies on women's issues?

We have a TUSC (Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition) candidate in our local elections soon. I can't vote for any of the others. It's about as certain that Labour will win as it is that the sun will rise tomorrow morning, but I do want to vote if I can, rather than spoil my ballot paper. I see TUSC was founded by Bob Crow and has some connection with the SWP. These are the core policies: www.tusc.org.uk/17627/22-02-2022/tuscs-core-policy-platform-for-the-may-2022-local-elections

The most relevant seems to be this one:
Fight for united working class struggle against racism, sexism and all forms of oppression.

Bit vague - anyone know anything more specific they've said/might stand for?

I might have risked voting Green but one of the candidates knocked on the door the other day and in response to a direct question confirmed that he supports the Green policy on self-ID of gender, so I told him he'd lost my vote as a result. It's a shame. We had an excellent GC Green candidate at the last General Election, but no sign of her this time.

Cripes. Just discovered a direct quote from the chap I spoke to. Asked 'what is a woman', he said “I don’t think we’re going to get any good solution on this issue if we’re trying to define a word because people have different interpretations. That’s all I really have to say. I don’t think it’s a very productive question to be honest.” Not a natural legislator, then.

They're TWAW all the way as are all the vaguely left wing parties. The trade unions are too and, as their name suggests, they're in coalition with unions.

Thanks. Oh dear. In that case I'm really stymied.

Bloody depressing.
