Trans folk have been at the forefront of the LGBTI+ movement since it began. This is why, unlike @NicolaSturgeon & @theSNP, we Scottish Greens won’t abandon them.
That is a fact no matter which of us wins our leadership contest.

Utterly baffled by the response of LGBTI+ SNP members to the
#GRAreform announcement. Non-binary people erased by the party & trans rights watered down, delayed & trans folk subject to ANOTHER damaging consultation process. Reaction? A near religious devotion & loyalty to SNP4 antwoorden 4 retweets 15 vind-ik-leuksDeze collectie tonen -
The message this sends to the SNP is: “Do what you like with our fundamental rights, we’ll stick with you! Take our money, rights & dignity. We’ll wheesht for indy.” If my party treated me like this I would leave & join a party that respects me enough not to play such games.

This is more than a disappointing assessment of members (like myself.) Sometimes resilience is not the easiest thing (leaving the party of government in the grips of transphobes and bigots) but to stay and resist from within.

I don’t understand it. Resist from within hasn’t worked despite folk like yourself constantly insisting it would. I know it’s difficult to leave something you’ve put energy into & admit that you’re wrong about the SNP but come on... what do they have to do?

Think of the trans folk who will commit suicide during this SECOND consultation? Think of the abuse they will receive? Think of the lives destroyed because the party comes before people?

Come on guy. It’s PRECISELY those people I have on my heart and my mind. Why are you been so mean?

I’m not being mean. I’m speaking the truth. It hurts but who else will say it? All I’m seeing is SNP members pat themselves down, hug each other, reassure each other & say “well let’s just keep doing what we did before.” I can’t sit here & NOT say something.

What from *any* snp member pro GRA’s feed looks to you like ‘business as usual’?

There’s a shit ton of work going on behind the scenes that isn’t always so obvious @guy_ingerson - thought you of all people would understand that. Criticising trans allies that are in the SNP doesn’t make the greens look anymore attractive either tbh...
