The former co-chair of Green Party Women in the UK has filed a suit against the political party after she was suspended for mocking the "fairy" set of preferred pronouns. Emma Bateman was kicked out of the group after being "found to have breached diversity rules," The Telegraph reported.
She had allegedly made "clearly antagonistic" remarks about the "fae/faer" neopronouns, which are derived from the notion that there are people who walk among us who are really from a mythical realm—or at least believe they are and demand that everyone acknowledge that.
Bateman, 58, was also cited and suspended for saying the term "pronoun police" and "cognitive cis-connance" when she gave a speech in Hyde Park at Speaker's Corner along with other gender critical feminists in 2022. During her remarks, she made fun of those who believe "that every time someone says men are not women a person with fairy pronouns literally dies."
She further asked members of the Green Party "how far they were willing to go to 'prostrate' themselves to the 'pronoun police,' and how much 'cognitive cis-connance' they would 'choke down' before they admitted 'women are more than a feeling,'" per The Telegraph.
"Perhaps even saying nothing will not protect me, because for some inclusive intersectionalists being Posie Parker adjacent seems to be literal violence," Bateman said in 2022 at Speaker's Corner.
“I want to stress that when I say adjacent, I mean actually physically being here with you wonderful women, rather than that we share exactly the same views on everything," she continued.
"Because I want to clarify that for those people who are muddled about what the terms ‘literal’ and 'actual' mean, and who believe that every time someone says men are not women, a person with fairy pronouns literally dies."
The Green Party's disciplinary committee said Bateman's remarks were a violation of their rules on "welcoming diversity." They also didn't like that she read The Green Party's trans policy aloud in a sarcastic fashion. Now she is suing for discrimination, alleging that in being kicked out, the Green Party is in violation of the Equality Act of 2010.
That Act was recently the subject of a Supreme Court case in the UK, which found that despite the political double-speak claiming that men who believe they are women are actually women and therefore are a protected class under the Equality Act, they aren't.
In addition to being dismayed that Bateman refused to believe the lie that men can become women or that there are people who should be pandered to by using "fae/faer" pronouns, members of the Green Party are said to have called her an "anti-Semitic, eugenicist, fascist, far-Right bigot."
She said, "What's going on with the Greens has been horrendous" and asserted that she's still "quite a dedicated Green" for their stance on climate and other matters.
