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.

If she did not get suspended due to being trans but yet now doing this in an attempt to damage the reputation of the Green party, then she is an incredibly selfish person. This, especially considering the UK is literally fighting against a looming Trump style fascism.

But at this point it seems not possible to understand whether if she was or not and we have to wait for the Green party to release some evidence regarding this or exonerate her and investigate other people who got her suspended.

    Not immediately, after seeing the announcement from Greens LGBTQIA+ and that learning there are trans women in roles reserved for women in Greens and seeing some other comments from trans members of Green. Infact initially when I first read it my opinion was much more towards believing her.

    In any case none of the above proves this didn't happen due to transphobia. There could still be a group of people in Greens who are transphobic and acted on their own initiative and lied about her behaviour to get her suspended. Still does not mean she was suspended because of a party policy against trans woman in woman only roles. It means there are lying transphobic pieces of shit in the party that needs to be rooted out.
