I wonder how many people still support the Greens, in the fond belief that they’re the party for people who care about the environment. Those days are long gone. It’s the Trans Party now.

The leader of the Green group on Herefordshire Council has claimed she has been banned from her own party for her views on gender.

In a statement released on Friday, Councillor Diana Toynbee said she had been barred from serving as a Green councillor “for at least six months”.

In an X post sent on 25 November, Toynbee said there was “nothing right wing about child safeguarding and respecting women” and “nothing more anti-feminist than saying a woman is no more than a costume, identity or fantasy”.

But that’s now the official Green line:

The Green Party’s rights and responsibilities page states “trans men are men, trans women are women, and that non-binary identities exist and are valid”.

The party also supports making it easier for trans people to change their legal status without the need for a Gender Reassignment Certificate (GRC).
