Green Party's treatment of women

Link to the full talk, from which that extract is taken :

This is a clever move I think. Women who have been put off from voting Labour by their fence sitting on this issue are looking for somewhere else to place their vote.

One of their people described women as 'non-men'. Surely no woman would vote for them?

From Emma Bateman :

"Some people may wonder why I am taking this action against the Green Party at a time when climate change should be at the centre of everything we do, and I understand that. But if our policies are not founded on objective reality, we will have no credibility with the wider public. This renunciation of science-based policies, at the very moment that evidence-based solutions are crucial to address climate change, is reckless."

Thank goodness!

Now that she has spoken out it might encourage others to do the same, and common sense could return to politics.

I have voted Labour all my life, but have been wondering how I was going to vote next time, given their cowardice in the face of TRA bullying. With any luck, this marks the shift that so many women have been waiting for.

Just giving this one a bump, in case anyone missed it.

It is really scary if you go onto Mumsnet; the number of (younger) women who will not vote for Labour, LibDems, Greens, because of their views or fence sitting on women's rights as they tie themselves in knots in efforts not to bring the wrath of the TRA onto them. I appreciate that Transpeople have rights, of course I do, but I find it truly depressing that we will end up with another catastrophic Tory government because people will not vote for the opposition. It is sad that people will throw the rights of the elderly, disabled, women struggling to raise their families, in fact anyone who is likely to suffer at the hands of the Tories ( all of us, with few exceptions), on to the bonfire, just to help preserve the rights of a very small minority and their intolerant and vociferous supporters.

I spend time every election dabbling in the shallow waters of the Green Party and then getting out and going else where when I come across one of their more worrying or dafter policies.

I can say defintely now that any party that has a member who can describe women as non-men and is not immediately and publicly told this is unacceptable has lost my vote.

I'm hoping that the realisation that failing to grasp the nettle will lose votes will be enough to galvanise the parties into action. I can't believe that intelligent people have genuinely swallowed the TWAW line to the point where they believe that men can have cervixes. It's the courage to say so that is lacking, but the prospect of more years out of power might mean that some of them start talking sense.

It isn't safe to think that their other policies make it worth voting for the sex-denying parties.
SNP has shown us this in their claim that millions of Scots voters agree with their intention to bring in self-id of sex because it was in their manifesto (in an obscure, brief mention).

How many of us have written to Starmer? I hadn’t but I will now.

I agree Iam64, time to write to Starmer. I truly can't bear another Tory administration, with life getting harder and harder for people due to supporters of a minority group deterring people from voting

GillT57 I’m in a Starmer Facebook group where this issue is life. Consistently posters asking the LP to get its act together. We are red wall - please let’s not go down another rabbit hole where ‘ordinary’ voters fear to tread

I feel politically homeless now. Hell will freeze over before I vote Conservative. Labour has Starmer who still struggles to remember who has a cervix; Yvette Cooper who can't even bring herself to say what a woman is and Annaliese Dodds almost disappeared up her own fundament whilst trying to give a coherent definition. The Green Party, who have been responsible for doing a huge amount of damage to women's rights and services in Scotland, appear to have the same agenda for England. Who else is there?

Chewbacca, my constituency is marginal. I can’t in all consciousness vote anything other than Labour - every vote counts.
I’ve written to Starmer. Will report back

Mistake in the OP.
