I have just seen this thread from Facebook, and thought I would say thanks for the support from commenters.
I am still suspended from the green party, and the complaint against me for asking 'are trans women female?' is yet to be heard, and won't be heard until at least the end of July.
I know some people cannot understand why I, and other women , would stay in the green party and put up with this nonsense, but I am an environmentalist. Climate change is as real as sexual dimorphism, and it needs addressing urgently. There is no other party talking about climate change enough, and I absolutely refuse to let a bunch of arrogant misogynists and women who would sell their grandmothers for a pat on the head from any Tim, Dick or Harry (because they have so little idea of the true value of grandmothers), destroy the party.
The complaint against me was brought by two green party women committee members, who have both done exactly what they said they were going to do, which was to take green party women in a new direction. I might suggest that direction is downhill, but I am sure others would have a different opinion (if there was anywhere left for members to voice that opinion, of course).
I am prevented from using the members space, though it appears now there is little point in using it anyway, as green party women members have been barred from commenting or posting in their own space, but I (and many others) are entirely unsurprised at the recent turn of events.
To launch one young man with a penchant for silencing women into the sacred untouchable caste may be regarded as a misfortune. To do it twice looks like carelessness.
Anyhow, I just thought I would say that much to the disappointment of some , I am still Rowling,Rowling, Rowling (but not rolling over), however, it would be unwise for me to comment further on what is happening to green party women, as no doubt the likes of Dick Filth and his ilk are lurking here ready to report unruly green sisters at the drop of a bonnet.

Wait wait wait, I missed this on first reading, are Kathryn's pronouns fae/fae?! What the hell is that, is that sentences like "Kathryn is on fae's way, fae says to just begin without fae."
Just so you know, they let Bill Cosby out of prison today meanwhile, on this very day, a woman who killed her pimp is sentenced to a longer prison sentence than Cosby ever got.
To be clear, Cosby isn't factually innocent. He got off on a technicality - he's still a fucking serial rapist.
Unbelievable. Well people will leave in droves. The Green Party is becoming a totalitarian state. Women will just have to circumvent this group and set up their own. The suffragettes would be upset. Can't believe we're losing so much because a few men decide to call themselves women, and it gives a very bad name to those who are genuine trans. Susan Browmiller wrote 'Against Our Will' to show rape was about power not sex. Plus ca change.
It looks like he may have purged some of his more embarrassing tweets as well. The ones about being able to cry since being on hormones making him feel like such a woman 🙄 and worrying about his nails. There was a big Mumsnet thread about that.
Nothing says "woman" like male-pattern baldness!! 🤣 🤣
I honestly couldn't vote if the next election was tomorrow. All the left parties have made themselves enemies of women.
surely this is a legal challenge waiting to happen? he kept banging on about abiding by the EQA but missed it by a mile - also free speech?

Well, clearly. Women having opinions about being women is fascism.
I always thought the Green Party was a bit eccentric; a bit odd but essentially harmless.
How times change.
Typical male behavior--those blasted women won't shut up, so I'll shut them up but good! What does the leadership of the party have to say about this?

Peak Greens. 🤦🏼♀️
The eyes! The eyes! Help!

I guess it allows them to bleat away on the sidelines with no chance of ever being elected and actually having to deliver.
No discredit to you Graham but can you get this into the mainstream media?

I hope this hits the mainstream press
