Senior members of Green Party Women (GPW) claim the group was “disaffiliated” because of their promotion of “gender-critical views”.
The party’s official position is that it supports transgender people and backs making it easier to change legal sex via self-determination.
The BBC has seen documents that show the Green Party disaffiliated the GPW for failing to run its planned Autumn 2021 committee election until January 2022.
Zoe Hatch, the GPW’s most recently elected co-chair who is currently suspended from the party, described the decision as a “convenient way for the ruling bodies to shut down the women’s group”.
Emma Bateman, a former co-chair of GPW who was briefly expelled from the party, said the disaffiliation was to “demonstrate that women stepping out of line will be punished”.
The party also supports making it easier for trans people to change their legal status without the need for a Gender Reassignment Certificate (GRC).
