Ms. Allan and others argue that men running for women\'s positions in the party should have a gender recognition certificate in order to run. Those accusing her of bullying are saying they do not need the certificate to run for women\'s positions, but rather that the "unwritten policy" of the party is to allow men to self-identify as women and run. https://www.gofundme.com/fighting-for-female-representatives'
