Sorry only news sources reporting this is the Daily Mail and Telegraph, not worth linking to their thoughts on trans women.
Of note is that Eleanora was elected to the spot and backed by ‘Greens for Palestine’ . 2 Weeks later she is out on transphobic grounds and seems to have her suspension leaked to the Daily Mail potentially by someone in the Greens.
Xitter conversation between Greens Party Council and Eleanora
Greens Party Council member Kai Taylor has put the Greens party into disrepute.
Okay… but this person was elected, right…? Does the GPC feel that the people who did the electing were somehow misled?
This just seems like a real self-mutilation in all respects. The GPC have pissed off everyone that there is to piss off.
“this person” 🤨
There are several other trans members on the GPC… she didn’t get suspended for being trans, she got suspended for breaking party rules on conduct by committee members.
This is from the (trans) member whose bluesky post is elsewhere in the thread (Kat Bristow) taken from the reddit post I linked
"TheKatBristow
There’s other trans women currently on GPC, including the other co-chair of LGBTIQA+ Greens, and no action has been taken against any other trans person on GPC.
So we can safely assume that Eleonora’s suspension is unrelated to her being trans."
Are the other trans women in GPC in woman only positions?
I will strongly disagree with this statement, as there’s a serious allegation against GPC, and no legal justification has been published by the authorities.
If there’s a legal reason with backing evidence, there’s no reason not to share why she was dismissed, and public has every right to know this decision, that’s exactly why we have the transparency laws.
Your statement is no different than an assumption where an immigrant claiming they were not discriminated in Germany yet, therefore there’s no discrimination against other immigrants.
It’s still sort of ridiculous that they’ve suspended her and haven’t put out a statement as to why. The really should be no scenario under which you can suspend someone without an explanation.
You can’t safely assume this and I don’t know why you would. There is even discrimination amongst trans people. It could be an issue of passing not passing or a million other things. We definitely need more information.
Or we can assume they don’t have any support/angles to go after other trans women yet. It seems pretty evident that strong elements of transphobia are at play in this decision via Kai Taylor’s involvement.
