Last year, we drew a red line There was no way we would stand by while an anti-human-rights group tried to spread its harmful and abusive rhetoric at the @greenparty.org.uk annual conference Now, that hate group is using the law to attack our decision If you can, please help us take them on 🙏🏼✊🏼

The Green Party are standing up for their right to make trans people feel safe and welcome, so we're defending them in court Get involved 👇 https://goodlaw.social/yndo

It's important to note that the group behind this lawsuit, the Green Women's Declaration, are not affiliated with the Green Party. Political parties must be able to decide who is and isn't allowed to attend their conferences. If the GWD are successful, it will set a completely ridiculous precedent.

The TERFs never leave - look at the Green Party, despite being widely reviled and excluded they still cling on, causing legal troubles and pushing against pro trans measures. They always always play the long game. And all it takes is one moment of weakness for them to strike.

‘Utterly condemns’ ‘appalling’ ‘disgraceful’ ‘criminal’ when it’s some chalk calling for trans rights, but when it’s masked far right thugs intimidating people, it’s a mere ‘disruption’. We see you. Labour are a disgrace.

It's Nazism, again. Do you know what genocide is? Cultural genocide, too, for example? This is that. You're not seeing it on your IG or TikTok feeds, visceral, bloody, violent, but it's ongoing. Why don't you care about it, say, as much as other things? Why don't you SAY something about it?

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of children who have been taken out of Ukraine and sent to russia,approx 1.6 million children in occupied Ukrainian territories are being 'russified'. When Germany invaded Poland,the Nazis took 200,000 Polish children with the intention of 'Germanising' them.

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism but we fail everyone by pretending these positions are mutually exclusive. Do you know what defenders of Israel love? Bullshit like this. It plays right into their worldview and is exactly what they want anti-Zionism to sound like to the average person.

Nine days ago, Jason said "speculation and public commentary" had taken a profound toll on him and loved ones. The same media class get to announce his death. He leaves behind a wife and two children. Remember that next time the same media class morally grandstands about "protecting children".

I am hoping that this motion, like B1 at the Young Greens Conference (which called on the Young Greens to re-affirm their commitment to fight for trans youth), will pass with flying colours. Here's hoping.

This is absolutely on a par with the people who insist that being called racist for being racist is unfair, and who balk at the idea that the far right should be called the far right. Descriptions are slurs when it's them who are being called out. It's incredibly internet-brained bullshit.

Labour MPs especially newly selected ones are never going to be an effective voice against what this government have done. Voting Zack sends them a message and allows the Greens (the only pro trans party with a chance here) to actually make the weather in Westminster

If you care about LGBTQ rights, if that’s something that really matters to you and a community you want to protect - then there really is only one realistic option. Show Labour they can’t hurt our community with impunity.

In the last year the trans community have been subject to one of the most brutal and shocking removals of civil rights in modern Britain, under a Labour government. If opposing that reversal is a priority for you, the ONLY option in Holborn and St. Pancras is Zack Polanski.

This kind of line has become a shibboleth among certain types of moderately anti-trans centrists. And we just have evidence proving it's not true. YouGov's polling on this showed anti-trans attitudes increased pretty consistently across the board regardless of issue, and correlated with each other.

The UK population was and is generally supportive of trans rights - but the refusal to address problems that were visible from space (like sex offenders self-idying into women's prisons) and the take-no-prisoners approach of the flying monkeys on social media have deeply poisoned the culture
