Green Party criticised as no MPs attend Parliament session on trans rights

That candidate (Claire Valdez) has been attacked by right-wing media for supporting trans rights. Her response has been really good!

The Green Party is the only party fighting back against Labour’s plan to give all our data away to extreme rightwing company Palantir.

💚 Green Party MPs @sianberry.bsky.social, @carladenyer.bsky.social and @greenpartyhan.bsky.social have all sponsored the Trans+ History Week EDM 🚫 Yet @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social have not - their continued refusal to stand up for Trans people's human rights speaks volumes

Massively disappointed in you @zackpolanski.bsky.social & the Green Party for not showing up yesterday in Parliament & no official party statement. You are losing members & support over this. Your support for trans people was the main reason I joined & voted for you as leader. Was it just words?

I saw you talk Sunday evening at the green party party... But no one turned up to parliament when we needed you on Monday.

I take it from this repost that this is your own personal view and is not representative of the Green Party. I say this because there appears to be a lack of commitment from Green MPs on this issue. There needs to be a visible, meaningful & united approach from senior members of the party!

I support trans rights, but I am getting so, so tired of the pile-ons from the Nothing-Is-Ever-Good-Enough brigade. 67 today (yawn) and I have never. Ever. Known a party be so supportive of trans rights as the Green Party under Polanski. But apparently, it's not enough for some. I'm sorry to do...

Leaving the chamber without speaking up and avoiding it because their well known views on the subject don’t align with the democratic policy of the Green Party…

How many currently serving Dems are willing to say this on camera? This is not a gotcha. If the next Dem who runs for president isn't willing to look the nation in the eye and say Trans Rights are Human Rights then the Democrats have failed as an organization.

who do we vote for Helen? Spoil our ballot papers? I joined the Green’s specifically so I could vote for Zack against Adrian and Ellie. But clearly there is transphobia in the Green Party, there’s a vocal TERF in my local party, which means I haven’t got more involved. I can’t tolerate the pain.

Gavin Newsom is not the best Democrat on trans rights. No shit. But he is also better than every Republican and most politicians around the world. I also prefer other candidates. Endlessly overstating the weaknesses of one isn’t gonna help others. Focus on the GOP, who actually want to hurt you.

Really sad, I had hoped for better from the Green Party. My first membership of a political party looks like it will have to be cancelled.

I went to a trans rights protest against the EHRC Code at the weekend, in solidarity with my trans & non binary friends. Very disappointed to hear none of the Green MPs were in parliament to speak against it & would like to know why. The party must explicitly take a bold stance or lose support.

As the saying gose actions speak louder than words, another saying is silence = violence. Yesterday when the Trans community needed allyship the Greens didn't act & were very silent. My Guess the Green Party are just anther fake allyship & stab you in the back as soon as its turned Party.

the dems saying this surface level shit after being fucking doormats when it comes to trans rights! and human rights for that matter!
