Green Party candidate suspended for agreeing ‘Eddie Izzard is a man’
from The Christian Institute:
The Green Party has suspended its Sheffield Central candidate amid allegations of ‘transphobia’.
Alison Teal was reported to her local branch after she raised concerns about Eddie Izzard being allowed to use the ladies’ toilets at a Labour Party event in Sheffield.
Earlier this year, Dr Shahrar Ali launched legal action against the Green Party when he was sacked as its Policing and Domestic Safety spokesman, allegedly for defending women’s sex-based rights.
Dignity
Teal tweeted her support for an article in The Critic written by Jean Hatchet, in which the Sheffield Labour Party member had protested about Eddie Izzard being “whisked into the women’s toilet” before a social club ‘fundraiser’ in the City.
Hatchet complained: “The loss of women’s rights starts with looking the other way for an Eddie Izzard and ends with a society that doesn’t flinch at placing a male sex offender in jail with women.”
She added: “Not all trans identified men are violent offenders, but some are. Because of this we must exclude all men from those spaces designated as single-sex for the safety, privacy and dignity of women.
“We don’t need to make exceptions for Eddie Izzard or any other celebrity. Or any other man, because Eddie Izzard is a man.”
