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.
For a little context that may be useful, Unison, the trade union, got into a legal dispute over one of their women officer roles having a trans woman stand for it. She didn’t even win but some transphobic weirdo raised a dispute because her votes could have gone to someone else and maybe potentially caused someone else to win. The complainant won after a lot of fighting Unison, and Unison have had to have a re-think about how the women’s officer works in light of the new transphobic laws.
The greens probably panicked and didn’t want a legal battle. The entryists have hit their first major roadblock it seems.

Who are the “entryists”?
Eleanora is amongst many others who flooded into the Green party after the fall out of Your Party hoping to move it to a more explicitly socialist position.
“Entryist” suggests an organised faction like the Militant in the Labour Party in the past. Are you sayimg that she belongs to a group that is attempting to take over the Greens? If so, who are they?
They weren’t quite as organised as Militant but there was a clear semi-coordinated push by ex-corbynists on social media in particular to join the Greens in the shambles of Your Party’s first bambi-like steps before it hemorrhaged its brains after falling.
I’d say this was definitely entryist in attitude, to take an existing party and flood it with new activists that would attempt to strong arm the party’s democratic structures to their own ends. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it per-se but I think entryism describes what was happening.
