Siân Berry tells us about why she is standing down as co-leader of the Green Party and the need to be ‘actively anti-transphobic’.
In May, she campaigned to be London mayor on the promise of making the city the most trans-inclusive on earth. But this month, she was unable to stop someone who has called for the restriction of trans rights being appointed as a spokesperson of her own party.
“I’m really, really sad to be doing this,” she says. “It makes me really sad that we’ve reached a point where I’ve got this issue of conscience.
“I’ve always spent all of my leadership speaking about the principle of intersectional solidarity, making sure that we all stand up for each other, and so it’s just really important to me that trans rights are stood up for.”
