Georgia Green Party, gender critical radical feminists and hypocrisy alerts

The Georgia Green Party, known hereafter as the GaGP, led within the party and by allies outside it among gender-critical radical feminists, known hereafter as GCRF, who more and more have become the leading face of the GaGP and allies in a battle against the national Green Party's Lavender Caucus over transsexual vs transgender issues (My blog, my words.) is again the subject of my ever-more-skeptical thought.

More, and even more, I've called a pox on both houses.

And, now, a pox again on the GaGP, and allies.

How can any of you tout the newly formed site Counterweight, which specifically says of itself:

Counterweight is an organisation that helps individuals resist the imposition of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) on their day to day lives.

In other words, per Orwell's Napoleon, hypocrisy is good for you but not for them? Gender-critical radical feminism, by not just its name but its roots, IS part of the broader stream of critical social justice right along with critical race theory.

Counterweight is itself, per the touter, by a former editor of this site which is in footsies with the Intellectual Dark Web. Whenever I see "liberal humanism," I think Andrew Sullivan and then, like Hanns Jost, remove the safety from my Browning.

With hypocrisy, idiocy or both of this level, you deserve to get your asses booted, no matter that your cause does have some points for consideration. And, that includes backers of the GaGP who are not GCRFs themselves, but claim that the people you travel with aren't a problem.

That's versus my ongoing insistence that sometimes the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, and is not even my temporary ally of convenience, but is still another enemy who is the enemy of my enemy for reasons I cannot accept.

Anyway, per a few other Greens, this isn't more than a tempest in a teapot in one sense with all the other issues the party has faced over the past 16 months. The lot of them as a lump only add to my "sayonara" sense.

Related? While "TERF" is a technically accurate alternative description, it can be a pejorative. Besides, it's a #twosiderism framing issue, as I note on Twitter, as part of a thread written in response to David B. Collins' recent post:

Calling GCRFs "TERFs" is kind of like pro-lifers calling pro-choicers "anti-life," or like pro-choicers calling pro-lifers "anti-choice." I don't do either one, partially rejecting at least the worst of #twosiderism on that issue 2/x

Per Wittgenstein and people yet more modern, it's a linguistic "game" issue.  And, I am not playing on either of the two sides who aren't the only two.

 

Adding further to the fun? Fourth wave feminists who appear to incorporate elements of gender critical radical feminism even to the point of excluding queer feminists at times. This movement, per Wiki's page, started primarily in Latin America. Wiki shows its own linguistic biases on this issue; a link with the text on that page for "cisnormative" leads to a section header under its page for "transphobia." As with Wiki's Jimmy Wales hating Palestinians, a pox again on Wiki's house on anything related to modern social history.

Update: The Georgia GP's website and platform were apparently full of antivaxxer info 20 years ago, and whether or not he was involved back then, the pre-decertification party chair was able to, approvingly, cite chapter and verse on its pseudoscience.
