Identity Caucuses and the Green Party
The question of whether a transgendered (male to female) Green can join the National Women's Caucus is answered, according to Holly Hunter. According to Matthew Able, representative of the Green in question, has said that the woman seeking membership has never been told if she is eligible or not.
Holly and Morgen D'Arc say that the issues are complex, which I am sure they are.
Knowing the status of the application is not, however, complicated, and must be a matter of public record it seems to me.
There are a boat load of email messages for me to read, and perhaps the answer to "What is going on here?" will be answered in there. If it is, I will post it here.
In the meantime I re-print a message to the National Committee from Owen Broadhurst (I swear I'm not going out of my way to promote him...it's just turning out that way. *Grin*)
The message is below. There is nothing behind the "Read more!" link on this one.
Matthew Abel wrote:
"On the other, my good friend and "constituent" who is transgendered (male to female) has not been able to get an answer (even if the answer is no)from the NWC for well over a year whether she can join."
Morgen D'Arc replied:
"This is not true, and you know that it is not true. I know that it was posted to a MI list you read."
=====
Would someone mind please posting that MI list message?
Morgen here has made the claim that Matt somehow has knowledge of what he wrote above being untrue. Should it indeed be the case that what Matt wrote above is erroneous, then that is however certainly news to me.
The July 7 e-mail of last year to she whose case Matt is above discussing indicated that his constituent's application, although received, had yet to be processed.
Morgen's message above, however, suggests that it has indeed now finally been processed - and that the concerned constituent of Matt's indeed did receive a definitive answer to the question of whether she would be admitted.
Otherwise, there would be no basis for the claim that what Matt wrote is not true. I wonder what is ACTUALLY true.
Sincerely yours,

As far as I know, Stephanie Loveless, the trangendered Michigan Green who is seeking admission to the NWC, is not yet a member. That would seem to indicate that the answer was no.
Here in Michigan we are now running into problems getting a representative from our state, vetted at a State Membership Meeting, admitted to the Media Committee.
What the hell is going on in GPUS???

Ask the Green Party of Michigan to begin decertification proceedings
against the National Women's Caucus unless the Caucus immediately admits
