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.
Whilst I’m a trans ally, I am a little sceptical on this one. I’m going to wait for the official response from the Green Party on this one before judging. So far we have seen no proof of any of this.
The lady in question is a bit of a bit of an inflammatory individual from the little I’ve seen from her socials.
Yeah, seeing more info, I’ve got my doubts about her story, especially considering another trans member of the party is calling bs
I’ve got my doubts on that other trans women when she provides nothing beyond an anecdotal unrelated story and the person involved in kicking her out is extremely transphobic and backed by other transphobes.
The discussion above implies that there may not be a party response due to “confidentiality” which seems odd when the party has defamed someone. I’d expect the ejectee would waive confidentiality.
Is there a politician that isn’t inflammatory to someone?
Defamation requires some degree of lying to damage someones reputation, so this is not defamation.
Technically they suspended them for being elected and for the subsequent media interest, per their own words. Both of those things factually occurred. “Brought the party into disrepute” is a flimsy enough statement that it could hold as being a true belief regardless of circumstances, its not something that can be factually identified as a lie.
There is much that could be said about how fucked up what they’ve done is, but its also not defamation
