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.

    "the party sent me link to a suicide hotline"

    That is the most caring / not-caring bullshit I think I have ever seen. I hope everyone who decided this regrets this the rest of their shit lives. Time to clean up the green!

    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.

    why do you immediately assume that?

    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.

    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.

    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."

    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.

  • source

  • 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.

    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.

    So we can safely assume that Eleonora’s suspension is unrelated to her being trans.”

    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.

    Zack Polanski just stood on stage at Pride in London and said trans women are women so I will be interested to see his actions on this.

    Probably silence like what he is with the anti-Zionists who were purged despite his big talk on Israel.

    Polanski is proving to be a bit of a figure head.

    Well yes, that's part of a leader's role.

    Actually leading is another part, but can you blame him for going "I'm not touching that minefield yet."?

    I can't believe anyone believes what the right wing media write about a left wing party, but be that as it may, Eleanora wasn't suspended because she was trans, she was suspended because she made comments on social media likely to bring the Greens into disrepute while holding an official post (ordinary members can say what they like, representatives of the party can't). The party is investigating those comments to see what disciplinary action should be taken and her role is suspended while that happens.

    The comments in question were blatantly anti-semitic (as opposed to anti-zionist which I have no problem with) in my opinion, and I doubt she'll be allowed to retain the post. I'm sure everyone on here understand the difference ? The Daily Mail certainly doesn't though.

    No it doesn't? Is there any particular comment you're talking about here? Because I see nothing that indicates that she said anything antisemitic.

    FFS.

    How is even the green party transphobic now? I'm actually shocked

    Not only is it incredibly disappointing to find out, it's absolutely going to massacre their support. Most of the TERFs are comfortably voting for the right wing parties, they are never in a million years voting for the greens.

    That's nothing new.

    Scottish Greens suspend ties with Green Party of England and Wales

    The formal association between the parties was suspended over concerns of transphobia

    Members stated that office-bearers of the Green Party of England and Wales had engaged in “transphobic rhetoric and conduct”, and claimed that the independence of the Scottish Greens had been ignored.

    They also underlined the importance of protecting the rights of transgender people to gender affirming healthcare.

    Please take a look at Kai Taylor, the Greens Party Council member in these discussions.

    image

    He is abusing the definition of transphobia to claim Gender Critical ideology is not transphobia. GC also known as TERF is 100% transphobia.

    That's not enough?

    image

    He is endorsed by MumsNet, one of the most prominent TERF hubs and trans hate communities.

    Oh and don't forget

    Who are Green Women's Declaration? They're the group of transphobes who the Good Law Project is currently defending the Greens party from as of a week ago because they were denied an application to hold a stall at th e Green conference in 2025 because it was felt they made trans members unsafe.
