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

    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.

    This reddit thread has more details from Greens party members

    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.

      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.

        Gender “critics” aren’t the same as TERFs, almost none of them are radical feminists. They’re liberal feminists at best, and most of them aren’t any kind of feminist.

          TERFs aren’t feminist either.

          Gender Critical is simply the term TERFs use to refer to themselves, even JK Rowling calls herself a GC. It’s the “Pro-Life” to the “Pro-Choice” of abortion, a soft sounding name to help with public perception.

    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.

    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.
