@ManduReid's leadership has will sadly become knownfor dismissing expertise & the majority view of Party members on self ID.

The Party's assembly was clear in its support of single-sex spaces, yet #wep #groundhogday brings back the same tired motion that was rejected previously

@ManduReid This week Reem Alsalem, the UN #VAWG rapporteur wrote to Hollyrood to intervene on similar self ID policies (#GRRBill).

It is unacceptable to WEP party members that her voice, alongside ours, should be dismissed.

The Party bought a self ID motion that was rejected until the membership was consulted (thank you Sophie Walker).

The Party stalled for years, and when a version of a consultation was conducted it rejected self ID.

Since the results Mandu has overseen the marginalisation of our Caucus and has dismantled democratic party structures, increasing appointed positions and removing elected positions.

WEP rearranges the deckchairs & cranks up the speed whilst the rights of women & girls travel ever faster towards an ice-field.

And why? Because a small handful want the status of being the fastest ship, in this case the prize of self id at all costs.

And self ID is well behind the curve. With all major parties supporting single-sex spaces, acknowledging that #sexmatters in data, pay stats, services, health WEP is trailing behind. Again.

We ask those who care about women & girls, who care about Party democracy, to think twice about Mandu's motion.
Lets hope those at the helm pass the breaks before we go headlong into an ice field

WEP conference 2020 saw a shameful misrepresentation of our Caucus to undermine our motion supporting sex-exceptions as outlined in the #EA2010.

Again at odds with law, specialists & party members.
