Green Party in trans legal row over ‘fairy’ pronouns

[IwantToRetire]

Ms Bateman, 58, is suing the party for discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 after being repeatedly suspended and eventually expelled for her gender-critical views.

Speaking to The Telegraph, she claimed to have been labelled an “anti-Semitic, eugenicist, fascist, far-Right bigot” and warned the party’s “dogmatic” support for trans rights threatened to ruin its reputation for “following the science” on climate change.

In March 2022, Ms Bateman was suspended for three months over a speech she made to gender critical activists in Speaker’s Corner, Hyde Park, in which she mocked those who believe “that every time someone says men are not women a person with fairy pronouns literally dies”.

She also challenged fellow members on how far they were willing to go to “prostrate” themselves to the “pronoun police”, and how much “cognitive cis-connance” they would “choke down” before they admit “women are more than a feeling”.

(The only thread I could find about Emma Bateman was from nearly a year ago, so started a new one. But suspect this could have part of existing threads about TraGreens)

Its hard to keep up with these specialist threads unless you are one of the obsessives!

But also good to have it as a FWR title as they do get picked up by search engines.

Part of me still can't believe that the Greens, the Greens!, turned into the PastelBrowns while I wasn't looking. Plus, they never seem to come to a dopeslap moment and say, "Wait! what am I doing?"

The Green part has disappeared. Your environmental awareness matters not at all. If you don't intone the Church of Trans credo, that's it. You're out.

Agree.

Let alone wasting all these time and money by consistently breaking accepted procedure and behaviour, just so they go on acting like imature school children desparately showing off how they are in with the in group.

Is there any party actually focusing on politics are is it all now about virtue signalling?

Sorry should have added: Let alone the bullying mentality and willingness to make lone individuals suffer by taking such extreme positions of putting this posturing before working together as a party.

Cough! GC Green shoots badly in need of nurturing. Look for the abandoned plot at "The Green Party must respect our sex!"
