Some issues of trans rights have caused divisions in the Green Party, such as when Siân Berry cited opposition to her support for trans rights as a reason for stepping down as co-leader. In the subsequent leadership election, candidate Shahrar Ali's comments on trans rights led to the Young Greens to call for his expulsion. After being sacked as Speaker for the party, Shahrar Ali successfully sued the Green Party for unfair dismissal, claiming discrimination for his "gender critical views" under the Equality Act 2010. In February 2024, the Mayor's and City County Court ruled that the Greens had not followed proper procedure and awarded him £9,100, but upheld that political parties may dismiss spokespersons for views not inline with their party's values and dismissed claims of discrimination against Dr Ali.
