Self Identifying non male. Self identifying non female. What next? Self identifying non fish? How about a non bird. Or a non insect.

Oh wow, I just made up three more gender identities. What do I win? <------- sarcasm.

I'll hold my hand up to leaving the Green Party because of this. I'm sure other GP members have left due to this 'centre the political universe on me' group, when there are much more important issues in the world.

I know quite a few friends who've left the party for exactly the same reasons.

I've never been a member of any party. (Think Groucho Marx here!) Bit I would generally lean left and green-ish. But I cannot take these people seriously now. Not only for their insulting attitude towards all females, but the language, the pseudo-liberal values, the pronouns nonsense. The whole w*k* package - I have zero respect, time or patience with it all. (Thanks for listening)

Women don't have dicks , so it's not a women's party. Even if they have neo vaginas a.ka. penises inverted outside in, that don't make them Women and I don't care if they call themselves Women , because no one is falling for that BS, but occupying the opportunities which many of worthy Feminists can have , is unacceptable. It's like Women will have no employment if trans women decide upon it.

"Whip with a dick"😂 - you are awesome JL, no wonder you are my Favourite.

Let's all identify as men and get the men's positions for Green party. Nothing more to lose anyways 🤪

Don't say that !!!! You are Smartest Witch. Take Your time, but I would love to see you doing videos ☺️

JL what the hell is happening. Did You check Amnesty signed the letter for removal of Women's Political representation in Ireland. Wtf is happening 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

How is this legal ? How does this go with Equality Rights for Women too ? There must be a loophole over which our Ireland Sisters can fight ? Lauren and From Sister LGB alliance can really use all the help and guidance for now.😳😳😳😳

Ah thank you so much. It's really lovely to be appreciated. And I'm definitely getting "Smartest witch"put on a t-shirt! 😊 And, yes, what's going on in Ireland is heartbreaking & terrifying. As Graham made clear in his excellent piece.

Will do now. Thanks JL ❤️

I couldn't get through that You Tube 'What is a woman?'

'As a proud feminist, my feminism has always been intersectional...'

Oh fuck off. No really...fuck right off.

Oh, are you referring to a video which appears to "star" a panel of four men? I keep seeing it in my recommendeds and thinking "Nope!".

Thanks for posting this Graham. The green party has a worse dose of the woke than other parties, because we attract a lot of delicate flowers of the Violet Elizabeth Bott variety.

There are a few of us older gender critics hanging on , but there has been a real take over by the pastel thugs and damsels looking for something to save.

Us crusties are clinging on in there because the climate is so important, but goddam, if there was another party to go to that gave a rats arse about the environment , I would be jumping ship.

Also, the green party women constitution states, "Membership of Green Party Women shall be open to any member of GPEW who self-identifies as a woman or as gender variant. "

None of us know what gender variant means, and only women who identify as women can join: there is no place for women who say they ARE women, according to the constitution.

We really need this party to get people to sit & take notice when it's discussing the science around climate change etc. But how can people take it seriously when it doesn't even appear to grasp primary school biology? Breaks my heart. We need the Green Party more than ever & it's being run by a gang of self absorbed kids with special pronouns.

The Green Party...more like The Peen Party.

So, a *MAN* who is a self-identified "fae" is running as a "non woman" for the UK Greens now?! Seriously - they don't seem to be worth voting for at all from where I'm sitting. I second Kel's analysis.

Sorry, sorry - he's running as a woman and "non male"... So progressive! /s

I wrote to the Leader of the Green party, with e-mail title: "?"Non-Male" - what?"

Dear Leader,

From your website (https://www.greenparty.org.uk/people/regional-council.html):

"GPRC Co-Chairs:

Self identifying Non-Male Co-Chair: Kat Driscoll (Wales)

Self identifying Non-Female Co-Chair: Rob Grant (West Midlands Region)"

You are taking the piss, aren't you? What is a "self-identifying Non-Male"? Never heard of one and nor has anyone else.

Be careful, or the Greens will be in the same category of irrelevancy as the Lib Dems with their now notorious "statement about transphobia": https://www.libdemvoice.org/liberal-democrats-adopt-definition-of-transphobia-65868.html

You are in politics, not in virtue-signalling. If you want the 99% of the population to consider voting for you - including the sex category of "women" (52%) - you had better stop this "woke" nonsense.

Yours sincerely

I would be if I had the time or the energy.

I would have a go, if I could actually figure out what it was... Sounds more like a one-eyed Greek philosopher trapped on a hill top by surrounding Persian hordes led by Xerxes (pronouns Xe/Xer/Xes)

Precisely. Just when we so desperately need a serious political force that will centre the environment in its plans & policies, this bunch are whining about pronouns & making up special words for men in lipstick.
