On Tuesday (2 September), it was announced that Polanski would lead the party after defeating Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns by 20,411 votes to 3,705.

The UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the legal definitions of “women” and “sex” appeared to drive a wedge between the two former co-leaders of the Green Party: Adrian Ramsay and Carla Denyer.

Ramsay came under fire for avoiding a firm answer when asked whether he believed trans women are women, after the court’s decision that the legal definition of women refers to “biological women” only, and that “sex” refers to “biological sex”. He added that members of his party who hold anti-trans views shouldn’t be expelled and have “the right to express that view”.

However, Denyer has expressed views different from Ramsay, choosing to stand in solidarity with the trans community, while the new leader, Zack Polanski, has also spoken up for trans rights.

In an Instagram post, posted at the end of April and captioned “trans rights are human rights”, Polanski reshared a post he had made in response to the Supreme Court ruling.

He wrote: “Deep irony that they call this ‘practical’ implications when it’s anything but. A consequence of the awful reporting around the Supreme Court often missing fundamental facts from the ruling. This is just more thinly veiled transphobia. The mask is off.”

Zack Polanski, who launched his leadership bid in The Guardian in May, centred his bid on improving on the disappointment caused by both the Labour and Conservative governments.
