Going Green: Abigail Maxwell finds a party
‘For me, it is personal.’

I am delighted that there will be an election. For me, it is personal. The Conservatives claim that Theresa May’s 2017 proposal for gender recognition was a danger to women and children, and propose to ban schools from teaching the simple truth that some people are trans. They claim women’s safety requires that I be excluded from women’s hospital wards. They seem to harness fear. And, for me, Labour does too little to assuage such fears.
