'Whether to cut ties with the Green Party of England and Wales (GPEW) will be debated at the Scottish Green Party Conference in Dundee in October.

The motion has been submitted by Beth Douglas – co-convenor of the Scottish Greens LGBT+ group, the Rainbow Greens – and claims office holders of GPEW have engaged in “transphobic rhetoric and conduct”.

It calls for the Scottish Greens to suspend the “formal association” between the two parties, and for this to continue until “effective action" has been taken to “address both issues of transphobia and respect for the Scottish Green Party”.'

The Judean People’s Front splits with the People’s Front of Judea…
How sad. Trouble in Paradise, eh?

It is amazing that the SGreens need a separate LGBT+ group.

Ahh - the toddlers are self identifying as a political party

It's lucky that global warming has been defeated, so that there's plenty of time to focus on trans issues.

The narcissism is exhausting. Hope GPEW tell them to fuck off but I suspect there will be apologies and promises to do better followed by another attempted purge of any party members still grounded in material reality.

I wish they'd hurry up and implode to make space for a party dedicated to environmental issues. The need for it is kinda urgent FFS.

Exactly. Though to be fair, Jeremy Corbin's Environment and Animal Welfare manifesto was more thorough than the Greens'.

What a thing to be trantrumming about the day after the hottest day ever in the UK

Aren't posters on MN FWR routinely criticised for discussing sex and gender issues when there are so many more important things going on in the world? I expect every single one of those posters must be horrified that a political party, that actually has influence to do something about those things, is wasting its energy on sex and gender issues.

You know who you are. What are you doing about it?

The Green Party. THE GREEN PARTY is transphobic .
