PODCAST – Let’s Talk More About the Green Party (Part 2)

On this environmentally-friendly episode, Alyx and Ashleigh go over:

• The reason this episode isn’t as long as other recent episodes. (Spoiler alert: It’s because of Ashleigh’s health).
• A sneaky attempt to adjust the Equality Act 2010 into a bathroom ban. Trans Solidarity Alliance are spearheading a campaign to stop this, more here: EHRC Code of Practice Campaign | TSA .
• The government’s proposed new RSHE guidance: ‘Section 28 2.0’: New “transphobic” curriculum restricts teachers from encouraging Trans+ pupils to understand their identity.
• Following on from last week, we interview Green deputy leader hopefuls Ani Townsend and Ash Routh about their respective campaigns. 
• Some much-needed Trans Joy.

Ellie Chown’s comments

Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️: “🚨 EXCLUSIVE | Green leader candidate Ellie Chowns PRAISED Supreme Court ruling that gutted trans rights. Chowns welcomed the ruling, saying its critics “do not speak for all trans people”. She called for “open conversation” about “contested issue” of trans rights. See follow up post for video link” — Bluesky 

Claire’s Trans Talks: “Green Party leadership contender @elliechowns.bsky.social : ‘I support trans peoples rights’. Also casual transphobia tossed in for good measure. This goes way beyond basic education and leans heavily into anti trans & establishment bigotry.” — Bluesky
