Big Enby Sibling Loves You
You will say you believe in the mandatory mythology or you will be out.
The Green Party of England and Wales has suspended its health spokesperson on the eve its largest-ever conference for calling reports of rising LGBT+ hate crimes “mischievous”.
At a general election hustings in June, Pallavi Devulapalli said she had “yet to meet anyone” who denied a person’s right to “dress” and “be addressed as they please”. Ms Devulapalli told the BBC “there is no trans-hate in society in general”.
The BBC then snidely cites a statistic about an “increase in reported hate crimes” – without explaining how it knows the increase isn’t due to a fashion for seeing putative hate crimes against Our Trans Siblings everywhere.
The Greens suspended Ms Devulapalli two days before the party’s conference got under way in Manchester on Friday. The party has not given any explanation. A spokesperson said it “does not comment on individual disciplinary cases”. But the BBC has obtained party documents showing Ms Devulapalli was placed on an emergency suspension pending a code of conduct investigation.
It’s interesting that the Greens apparently have no qualms about kicking out a member with a noticeably non-Anglo-Saxon name. It’s interesting that the Greens apparently see Our Trans Siblings as more important and/or deserving of protection than boring old persons of color.
Speaking to the BBC, Ms Devulapalli claimed her comments reflected her thoughts that hate crime against LGBT+ people was “being politicised” and “most people weren’t aware of the issue”.
There it is again, another snide nudge to view her as the Greens view her. She didn’t say her comments reflected her thoughts, she “claimed” they did. The BBC is so ridiculous.
Cade Hatton, co-chair of the LGBTQIA+ Greens group, said Ms Devulapalli’s comments at the hustings were “just the most recent thing in a long list of things that have made people uncomfortable”. Mr Hatton said he believed Ms Devulapalli was trying to have a debate about trans rights but had “not gone about it in the right way”. He added that Ms Devulapalli’s suspension was an example of the Green Party’s disciplinary system “working a little more efficiently”.
The party’s rights and responsibilities policy states “trans men are men, trans women are women, and that non-binary identities exist and are valid”.
Then the party’s policy is full of shit, because trans women are by definition not women, ditto trans men, and non-binawee idennninneez are childish bullshit. Gwow up, Gweens.
I call BS. The T advocates have made the topic utterly radioactive. There is no “right way” to “go about” discussing the claims of so-called “trans rights.” Every attempt is wrong and forbidden. It is impossible to do anything except submit to the Almighty T.
The Greens in England and Wales are very quick to ban/suspend/discipline/silence their members if anything remotely critical of trans claims is associated with them. They’ve suspended so many (and then subsequently lost court cases over those suspensions) that they’ve apparently been warned they might run out of money doing it.
A couple of weeks ago I was flicking around websites looking at articles about the Olympic boxing cheat, Khelif, and in the comments on one of them* I saw a perfect example of the putative nature of the ‘hate crimes’. The commenter said that they had direct experience of the oppression of LGBTQ+ people (but clearly meant the T), then gave examples, saying (and I’m paraphrasing, but this is pretty accurate) “I’m a member of my college’s LGBTQ+ club and I’m always getting funny looks from people on campus, and on line I have been told that I am ‘of the devil’ and that I have ‘stolen the rainbow'”. That’s it, the sole extent of the oppression that this precious darling has experienced. Oh, and also, one of his/her friends has to pretend to not be trans at home because ‘their dad laughed at them when they came out, so now they can only be their true self when they’re at college’.
It really is a childish, self-centred cult.
* I forget which site it was but I’ll see if I can find it again when I have the time.
And one can reasonably ask if they are really receiving “funny” looks, or if that is their imagination because that is what they expect to see. Since the T thrive on persecution, I’m betting most of them are the latter.
My experience with college campuses tells me that students aren’t looking at each other very much; they are busy with their phones nearly the entire time they are there.
Even if they are, my experience on campus was that there were sometimes people who just chose to present in such a freaking weird way that they did get looked at funny. Maybe it’s not that they’re trans or enby, but that they’re wearing weird clothes or makeup or unnatural acted out mannerisms.
