That so many women have faced harassment should be a mark of shame on the party. Yet the response of Chesca Walton, one of the co-chairs of Green Party Women, was to tweet: “Expressing Gender Critical views is transphobia. Like any form of hatred, transphobia has no place in a modern political party“.

The legal advice seems to be clear that “An association is liable for direct discrimination if it treats a member less favourably than another member or other members (in similar circumstances) because they have a protected characteristic” which includes having Gender Critical views. Does Chesca believe that she treats GC members as favourably as other members? It’s hard to see how that’s possible given that she thinks they don’t belong in the party.
