The transperson is no longer a “chairperson”. Lubna Morad from the red student association had only been in office at the head of the Austrian Students’ Union for a few days. Until she called the ÖVP-affiliated candidate Durmaz a “‘wop'” and incidentally compared Muslims to Neanderthals. At least the word “wop” was meant positively, Morad was quoted as saying in the newspaper “Standard”. After all, she herself was a ” Mediterranean person”. “In my community we use the term among ourselves as an empowering self-designation and not as an insult,” it continues.
The Muslim thing is a bit more complex. Morad herself is Muslim. In a group chat with other Muslim students, however, she then felt that as a transperson she was being “attacked in a trans-hostile way”. In a message that was later leaked to the public, the comparison with Neanderthals was made. Among the young Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) students, Morad’s resignation as “chairperson” – a term she herself introduced – is meanwhile celebrated as a success. After all, they had been committed to anti-racist university activities for years.
