But… if I can’t put people in a box, how do I know who to hate?

it's the result of almost a centuries' worth of efforts like COINTELPRO -- it's made all leftists organizations in the anglosphere useless.

Yep. They're even worse in Germany.

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."?

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.

Are the other trans women in GPC in woman only positions?

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.

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.

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.

And the reason that Scottish Greens are working with Greens E&W is...they drummed the transphobes out of the party...

Yes, the Greens E&W were at one stage captured by Terfs - that's history and no longer the case

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

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.

“I don’t think it’s because she’s trans, I was discriminated for the same wording as her but I actually think it’s because she’s not nice as she was a bully to me when I worked with her once and she didn’t listen to others ideas and she praised the deaths of Zionists”

"I don't think it's because she's trans. I've faced the discrimination she's claiming, but in the years since we've taken the party back and it's generally very pro trans, including other trans people sitting in gendered seats aligning with their genders. Instead it's likely about her hostile behaviors and some statements she's made"

Yeah I'm looking for that too. Seems like antisemetic is hardly ever backed up as a slander when used against leftists.

Zero hard evidence on either side, though. She says she was suspended due to transphobia but provides no evidence that this was the case. There are plenty of Green trans councillors that haven't been suspended, so what's going on?

I would not be inclined to pick sides here until the truth actually comes out.

What evidence are you looking for ? I've stated the Greens have made no formal statement on it - because that's the process when someone is suspended and their conduct is being reviewed - unlike the Mail I don't just make shit up to make the readers happy

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.

Thanks for the heads up, I didnt check the link, looks like it is working now though.

Either way people have a choice now too :D

Oh good, google, nothing wrong with their support for the green party and they'd never mess with politics(!)

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

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.
