It is clearly visible in the video.

Can you provide a screen shot of the moment where her hand actually connects with his face in the form of a strike? I am rewatching the video and not seeing it.

You say “Nope”

I said Nope because I did not say she shoved him or pushed him. All I said is her movement towards him could be anything from wanting to punch him to push him.

“Proportionality” is not a factor in the use of defensive force.

Simply not correct:

    Kicking the attacker before they attempt to continue their attack would not be justified.

    If an attacker keeps trying to get up and fight 9 times, the 10th kick would be justified.

    Exactly, "trying to get up AND fight". But the latter part is absent in this video, just trying to get up is not indication of attempting to continue the attack. Getting up and moving towards the person? Maybe. But it is not possible to justify kicking someone trying to get up in any reasonable way under these circumstances.

    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.
