She may well be toxic but if that was the main reason she’s being removed, they should be up front about it. And not have a very terf seeming man involved in removing her.
No it’s not real, it’s being misrepresented. Eleanora is suspended for reasons nothing to do with her being trans. She’s a toxic piece of work who also happens to be trans, and is trying to make that into the reason.
There are a number of transwomen in various positions in the party, including posts to be filled by women only.
She was suspended for the comments she made about Iran which were blatantly anti-semitic (anti-zionist is fine, but she well and truly crossed the line).

She was suspended (she hasnt yet been removed) because of a media post, not because she is toxic. I explicitly state that two lines below my opinion about her toxicity. Separate items.
Are you deliberately misreading or just seeing what you expect to see ?

I think my unwillingness to accept the party explanation is down to 2 factors:
If the problem was bullying, or specific social media posts, or anything reasonable, that should be a perfect defense against transphobia. Unless the posts reveal protected information, there is no reason to hide behind process. The media is already reporting on it, so make this about the content not the candidate.
Unless he’s had some dramatic change of heart, Kai is clearly a transphobe or sympathizer at best. If he’s running the suspension process, that’s one great reason to be skeptical of anything he says.
I am willing to believe the candidate was difficult but edge cases are where we decide who we are as a society.

What “antisemitic” thing are you talking about?
thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 10 hours ago
No, that’s why I differentiated between anti zionist and anti-semitic, and yes I am very well aware of how anti-semitic has been used as a bludgeon against anyone critical of the Israeli genocide.
So let’s put a marker down, I am wholeheartedly against the genocide being perpertrated (sp?) by Israel in Palestine.
I don’t have the quote to hand, but it was with reference to wanting Iran to wipe all jews off the planet or some such far too widely sweeping statement to be an acceptable comment by a Greens office bearer.

Just like “From the River to the Sea” is a call to genocide according to Zionists.
Provide something to back up such an extreme claim. Because we all know how Zionists twist words.

Post the quote from the source or rescind the comment.

If that were true then they should have said that as the official reason for her being suspended, but they didn’t which makes it seem more like you’re completely wrong

The Greens have not made ANY public statement on the subject - because the matter is under investigation - and you may notice if you do a quick search the ONLY publications putting out this story in the way you’re doing are right wing and far right - my search gives me hits for Daily Mail GB News and Telegraph, plus a handful of obscure right wing blogs. No greens announcement, and nothing out of the left wing (for the simple reason they dont have any facts to build a story on and unlike the Mail even terfy papers like the guardian don’t like to just make shit up)
If you can’t see “right wing attack job” written all over this then you need to look into your media literacy

Just because the right wing is attacking you doesn’t mean you’re right or good, if any of the info they’re reporting is verifiably untrue then you should be able to prove it

This would be compelling with sources; the OP explicitly disputes some of these points afaict.
