Please take a look at Kai Taylor, the Greens Party Council member in these discussions.

He is abusing the definition of transphobia to claim Gender Critical ideology is not transphobia. GC also known as TERF is 100% transphobia.

That's not enough?

He is endorsed by MumsNet, one of the most prominent TERF hubs and trans hate communities.

Oh and don't forget

Who are Green Women's Declaration? They're the group of transphobes who the Good Law Project is currently defending the Greens party from as of a week ago because they were denied an application to hold a stall at th e Green conference in 2025 because it was felt they made trans members unsafe.

Gender "critics" aren't the same as TERFs, almost none of them are radical feminists. They're liberal feminists at best, and most of them aren't any kind of feminist.

TERFs aren’t feminist either.

Gender Critical is simply the term TERFs use to refer to themselves, even JK Rowling calls herself a GC. It’s the “Pro-Life” to the “Pro-Choice” of abortion, a soft sounding name to help with public perception.

I think you misunderstand me: Radical Feminism is the belief that patriarchal modes of government are responsible for women's oppression and must be overthrown through revolution. It doesn't inherently exclude trans people, but some radical feminists do, leading to them being labelled TERFs, with non-transphobic radical feminists still just being called radical feminists. Regardless of whether you want to count them among feminists, a prerequisite of being a Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist is that you are a Radical Feminist of some form first.
JK Rowling, Graham Lineham, and the vast majority of the GC crowd are not radicals. They do not believe there is anything wrong with our current modes of government. They do not believe in revolution. They are not Radicals Feminists, so can't be Trans Exclusive Radical Feminists. They are just bog standard transphobes. GC is the term transphobes use to refer to themselves, it's not limited to TERFs.

"I don't think it's because she's trans. I've faced the discrimination she's claiming, but in the years since we've taken the party back and it's generally very pro trans, including other trans people sitting in gendered seats aligning with their genders. Instead it's likely about her hostile behaviors and some statements she's made"

“I don’t think it’s because she’s trans, I was discriminated for the same wording as her but I actually think it’s because she’s not nice as she was a bully to me when I worked with her once and she didn’t listen to others ideas and she praised the deaths of Zionists”
