[Hoardasurass]

The women of wessex are planning to sue Bristol council over their behaviour including walking out of chambers when asked questions and banning questions by sex realises

This is superb news (esp. as a Bristolian!)
That any public servant should act in such an immature fashion should be dealt with automatically - it is outrageous that councillors whose very job is to serve the people of the area should act like toddlers - if they don't wish to listen to their constituents they should resign.

Well done those wims hope they get a victory! The picture that accompanied the councillors was extremely telling.

Good to read.
Especially as it is now reported in The Times that "Bristol city council has banned two gender-critical women from stepping foot in City Hall after they asked Green Party councillors if the Supreme Court judgment on trans identity was “offensive or transphobic”.
I don't know how to archive articles, sorry, it's here : https://www.thetimes.com/article/0f6b6fe4-cf88-4004-a281-9fa8f9ad9197?shareToken=08d020189226fb73679a9b0358d94a4c

This is shocking!

I'm glad these women are suing!

Edited to add that it's completely ridiculous that they have to!

I'd be so embarrassed to be a green party member

Him this quote from the greens in the Times article show that the green councillors dont understand their legal duty as elected representatives in this country.
These councillors are leaving themselves open to potential criminal charges of misconduct in public office and statement like below and their ongoing behaviour is making conviction a certainty

Very pleased to see this. They're elected representatives. If they're not doing their jobs, they should be held to account.

Excellent. I’m in North Somerset, just, just out of Bristol but this is still v v local for us. Is there a fundraiser?

Great news! Those councillors clearly don’t understand their job.

Behaving like a rational adult should be a minimum qualification.

Here is the Archive version.

and I'm assuming this might prod journalists to do their job and ask ZP about the behaviour and attitude of the Green Party towards GC people

I think this is an important court case. Those are very brave women and I appreciate what they are doing. The reported incidents out of Bristol have been most concerning and banning women from their democratic right on the grounds that they have, which was asking legitimate questions to clarify the council's position and thinking, is chilling.

Absolutely chilling.

There isn’t a fundraiser.

I look forward to the Greens justifying their behaviour in a court of law. All previous court cases involving Gender Ideology have shown it be without the slightest logical or moral base. It withers under interrogation which is why they avoid it at all costs (but can't do so in a court of law).

How can asking respectfully phrased questions by colleagues be so offensive that you feel the need to walk out. JFC how delicate are these people.

Do it.

Seriously. Fuck off wankers.
In some cases. Literally wankers.

Thanks for the archive link.

The Bristol City Council leader, Tony Dyer, has criticised the Supreme Court ruling in the past and demanded support for biological men who wanted to “chest-feed” babies in a 39-page response to a consultation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on updates to its guidance, following the Supreme Court ruling in April this year.

If the journalist has got this right, Mr Dyer's an utter numpty. What about the baby's rights to have a safe milk supply and not to be a prop for natal male's play-acting, to put it at its mildest? What about the mother's and baby's need for support with establishing breastfeeding, which is a delicate business and shouldn't be disrupted by someone else demanding the right to 'feed' the baby with a drug-induced secretion in addition to or instead of the mother's milk?

Pleased to hear this. Bristol Council are an absolute embarrassment. I’d happily donate to a crowdfunder.

Good, the arrogance of these councillors is off the scale, they clearly have no understanding of what being a democratically elected official means. They're acting like an autocratic, self-entitled bunch of wankers. Banning members of the public because they don't like their views WTAF. 🤬

Wow, shocked to see councillors dismiss their constituents so boldly and disrespectfully. I really hope there is some consequence for chipping away at democracy like this.

Me too

Excellent news - well done those women

They've made their point. Suing the council is stupid and likely to cost the taxpayer money that could be better spent on other things.
