There are trans ideologues in every UK political party, but they are especially prevalent on the rewilded fringes of the Greens.
Two years ago, former Green Party deputy leader Dr Shahrar Ali was sacked as the party’s spokesman for policing and domestic safety. His crime was to believe that biological sex is real and immutable. Today, a judge has ruled that he was dismissed unfairly – and that he was essentially the victim of a witch hunt.
Ali’s troubles began in 2020, when he posted a statement on X titled ‘What is a woman?’. ‘A woman is commonly defined as an adult human female and, genetically, typified by two XX chromosomes’, he wrote. ‘These facts are not in dispute [and] nor should they be in any political party.’ For stating these basic biological facts, Green Party apparatchiks accused him of ‘deliberately causing controversy’ and managed to have him removed from his post.
Ali then sued the Green Party of England and Wales for discrimination on the grounds of his gender-critical beliefs – beliefs that are protected under the Equality Act 2010. Today, the court found in his favour. It also found that his sacking was ‘procedurally unfair’ because the Green Party failed to identify what rules he had actually breached to warrant his dismissal.
