I dont see how me referring to this person as he makes the thread confusing? I said in the title this is a male person. He is a male person.

She seems to believe that gender identity isn't determined by biological sex, but looking at the role description of the Womens Officer I fail to see how that belief would conflict with her carrying out the role, regardless of if you agree with that belief? It seems to be more about engaging with and recruiting women into the party rather than working on womens rights?
I got it from here...

I just think that she must have had some sort of manifesto or something that people voted based on and isn't her competance in the role the most important thing, and surely if this role is about the person connecting with the public then having someone democratically elected by them is the best way? Yes men will have been able to vote as well but without knowing voter stats it's impossible to say that the women who voted in this constituency wouldn't have wanted Lily for the role.
The pronoun thing, I was confused myself at first because I didn't realise the issue was that it was a transgender person, which is obviously what sparked the debate, like I said I get your stance on it and wanting to refer to her as him and I wasn't wanting to get into a debate about that, I just thought that if I was confused, maybe other people might be confused, maybe clarity about what the actual issue is would be helpful, that's all. Or maybe it was just me that was confused for not reading it fully at first lol.
