                        <description><![CDATA[Would like to second this. It would have been great if you had contacted Jane and I over this motion as we could've worked together on it. I'm assuming this motion wants to change one of the non-portfolio officer roles into a named, U18 portfolio officer role. If that's the case, those committee roles are co-opted by the co-covenors, not elected. 

If you did want an elected role to be created, would they sit on the Exec? I'd also be very cautious about creating another elected role for GSC as the Committee is still quite new and struggled for co-covenor applications as it is, another elected role would probably go unfilled.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[In the same way we are advocates for trans rights, we need to be more vocal. Many intersex people feel overlooked as the only time they are mentioned is when it comes to defending trans rights. Intersex people have their own issues and lack of rights that need to be championed as well. Some intersex people are starting to turn to Gender Criticals as they see them as more supportive and it is really important for us to prevent that. ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[I fully agree with your amendment, the point of this is that mental healthcare in this country is appalling not just in the lack of funding but also the organisation of it. Whilst yes CAHMS and even adult mental health services need more funding it also needs to be made more accessible and organised in a way which is easier to navigate. This more comes from my own experiences of having to deal with it. It wasn't just the waiting lists that were the problem its also the shockingly bad services that are offered.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[Party literature specifically refers to any manifestos or similar that are produced by the Young Greens. I know that it was being talked about (I don't know if it is currently done) of specific groups publishing manifestos at general elections, Young Greens being one of them. This motion is more about us being more vocal about our support for trans rights as the young greens is very accepting and trans inclusive. In my opinion we're just not great at advertising it to the general public. ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[Pride has become very corporatized (I don't know if that's a word), meaning that corporation have co-opted and taken over pride and removed power from the actual community as well as using their sponsoring of pride to hide their more nefarious practices whether that is human rights abuses or contributing to the climate crisis. This would be calling for us to campaign for pride committees to cut ties with these companies as well as for pride organisation to be democratised with community members making decisions. This is not calling specifically for a boycott but if that is how it is interpreted I'm not wholly against that.]]></description>
