After a complaint

Emma Bateman writes:

On March 8th, International Women’s Day, I was suspended from the Green Party after a complaint by 2 fellow Green Party Committee members because I queried whether trans women are female.

Green party policy is that ‘trans women are women’.

Now we must agree that they are also female.

Things that are now unacceptable to say in the Green Party include:

“It is not discrimination to say that males should not be in a women’s group.”

“people cannot change sex”

“males cannot become females”

“What is a female?”

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

From a comment on the post:

I have left the Green Party because they have adopted a completely unreal stance on biology and are focussed on the interests of a few. They demand belief in the female penis and claimvthat sex isn’t binary. At the most recent conference it was stated that talking about female abuse such as FGM and breast ironing was transphobic. Also the chair said that using the word woman was transphobic. Now it appears that ‘focussing on the environment instead of on marginalised groups’ is eco fascism.

The Green Party!

    I’m thinking the shark was not so much jumped as eaten.

    This New Misogyny where women must not speak or be spoken of, except by men and the few women who know their place reminds me so much of the Old Misogyny, where women must not speak or be spoken of, except by men and the few women who know their place.

    @3 Trans vegans can eat shark, but vegans only eat trans shark, probably made from Swiss chard or something. Since trans has become synonymous with ‘phony’ or ‘fake’ instead of ‘changed’ it can be confusing.

    On a similar note, men who could actually become women (or women men) would not technically be transsexuals anyway, they would be better described as mutants, but of course there are none, except possibly in comic books.
