A red line for the Greens
The Scottish Greens are deranged.
The newly elected co-leaders of the Scottish Greens have said anyone who does not accept that trans women are women has no place in their party.
Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay, who were chosen last month to succeed Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater, used an interview on the BBC’s Scotcast to make clear that backing trans rights is a “red line” for the Greens. Anyone who does not accept that men are women has no place in their party.
That’s going to be a very tiny itty bitty barely visible party then.
Asked if someone who was committed to the climate cause but did not believe trans women were women would have a home in the Greens, Ms Mackay said: “I think that is probably a red line for us. Trans people have been massively targeted over the past few years, entirely wrongly, by a great number of people, and they just want to go and live their lives.”
No they haven’t been “targeted”. They’ve been told they’re wrong, and that’s because they are. Men are not women, and men who claim to be women are not being “targeted” or persecuted or anything else along those lines when they are told they’re not.
“It is a matter of basic human decency in some cases as well, and having that and having empathy for people who have been marginalised and targeted, who just want to exist in public spaces. That is becoming more and more difficult for a great many of them.”
Blah blah blah. What about women, you damn fool? What about women who want to exist in public spaces without finding leering giggling bullying men taking their jobs and prizes?
Asked about the Supreme Court ruling that the terms sex and women in the Equality Act mean biology rather than gender identity, Mr Greer said the law could be changed.
“The Supreme Court’s job is not to make up law. The Supreme Court’s job is to interpret the law as it has been written. We would argue that the Equality Act clearly does need to be changed to clarify the rights of trans people, and in this case in particular, trans women.”
Attaboy. Take a flame-thrower to women’s rights.
Green shmeen.
Does the Green Party stand for anything particular anymore, or is it just the progressive catchall party now? What is green about drugging kids to the gills and lopping bits off them? If you want a lower carbon footprint, reduce the number of lifelong medical patients, don’t increase it.
An admission that the Green party is no longer the party prioritising environmentalism, as that has been eclipsed by their preference for gender ideology.
Indeed. They ought to change their name.
@Papito,
But rendering people sterile will lower population growth.
Ahhh now there’s a point. It all makes sense now!
The only commitment they’re making to the planet is maximising the amount of hormone runoff being pissed out into the waterways.
T have not been “massively targeted.” The entire T enterprise is a literally massive targeting of women, gay men, and lesbians, and of children that they can groom to their cause. T also ” massively target” anyone who supports women, gay men and lesbians, or who opposes the mutilation of children for a false ideology.
To the extent T have been “targeted,” it’s entirely rightly, because it’s simply false that men can be women or that women can be men.
They manifestly do not “just want to go and live their lives.” What a joke! No, they want to interfere in the lives of everyone, everywhere, at all times. If they simply wanted to live their lives, then they would cross-dress however felt comfortable to them, go to their jobs, shop for groceries, care for their children, do household chores and repairs, etc., and so on, and just live their same boring lives as they had before. They would recognize that they can’t change their sex, and the men would leave the women alone, not pushing their way into everything belonging to women. They don’t want to “just go and live their lives”; they want to run and control the lives of every single person in the world. They’re megalomaniacal in that way. “Just go and live their lives,” my foot. Do that, leave everyone else alone, and all the “targeting” would magically disappear.
It is a matter of basic human decency in some cases as well, and having that and having empathy for people who have been marginalised and targeted, who just want to exist in public spaces.
You’ve described the women’s position to a T (pun intended). Where is the human decency for women? Why do T and their supporters never have an ounce of empathy for women, children, G, and L? Why are they wholeheartedly committed to marginalizing, if not wholly erasing, women, lesbians, gay men, and anyone who knows that sex is real? Why are they trying to obliterate women, L, and G from all public spaces? Every protestation is an admission of what they themselves are doing. The gaslighting is strong in this one.
