At least, the Rainbow Greens are!

There's a petition for the Greens to leave Government, if anyone finds it please post the link or how to find it!

'The Scottish Greens are facing a revolt from LGBT members of the party furious at the NHS’s decision to pause the prescription of puberty blockers for new patients.

Rainbow Greens suggested that co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater – who are also government ministers – could abandon their deal with the SNP.

The group, which represents LGBT members of the party, claimed the Scottish Government “does not care about the welfare or rights of transgender people in Scotland”.'

Imagine this being your line in the sand.

Odious twerps. They won't be missed.

Sadly I think it's probably all hot air. No way will they relinquish power without it being prised from them.

I cannot link to it here, but I saw today a tweet from the rainbow greens (scottish branch) which described the Cass report as a "murder charter". No, I'm not making this up and more have I been drinking.

Always knew they were a bit wiffy

It's an open letter, I think. https://x.com/rainbowgreens/status/1781024231523852592
Additional statement:
Tonight, we announce our open letter to the Scottish Greens executive, calling for an extraordinary general meeting to discuss the future of the Bute House Agreement. Once we reach 100 signatures, we will ask the SGP Executive to arrange an EGM. (1/)
Jen Bell, Rainbow Greens Co-convener said tonight, speaking at the emergency protest in Glasgow's George Square.
"“For years, gender affirming care has been shadow banned in Scotland due to lack of reform. Trans patients have been forced to languish on years-long waiting lists 2
“In the Bute House Agreement the Scottish Government promised to dismantle the gatekeeper system and put trans patients at the heart of decisions on their own healthcare. Sandyford’s decision breaks that promise.” (3/)
“If the Government fails to keep its promises then the future of the Bute House Agreement is called into question, and the members will demand answers. Greens in Government would do well to take heed.”(4/)

nor have I been drinking.

No hyperbole here at all!

Yes, here we are. I hope this is seen far and wide.

🍿

Have they redefined words again?

Does "killing trans kids" mean, actually, letting kids grow up and grow out of their trans identity? If Jessica becomes Jake, but is allowed to go through puberty, and returns to bring Jessica, is 'Jake' now dead? Is that what they mean? Because I can't think of any other way to make that make sense.

Well that’s not inflammatory language at all

I hope Dr Cass feels safe enough with the incitement

You'd think the Greens line in the sand would be the scrapping of greenhouse gas emission targets.

Alas providing teenagers with opposite sex hormones is more important than saving the world.

🍿Wowie zowie.

Toxicity on both sides remember!

How low the Greens have sunk. The environment is no longer a priority. Medical experiments on children is what they're all about now.

Exactly! How on earth has an environmental party become full of shills for big pharma?!

Things are starting to get interesting

😏

Social murder charter.

FFS why does anyone take these people seriously

Victoria Smith's email newsletter this morning was explaining why as mainstream push back against the gender nonsense gets more reasonable and grounded, the reactions get more extreme. Interesting to see exactly what she was describing playing out in real time.

I'd link to it but it's on something called a Stack which is beyond me. She's glosswitch on X so easy to find. One of the best pieces I've read in ages.

Holy moly!

Yes I thought a while back that this would reach fever pitch

I do think the language is dangerous though in terms of violent reaction

Off you fuck then,you won't be missed.

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

Here comes the narcissistic rage….

And what a side show it is
