Olivia Palmer writes in her blog:
"The Green Party did not offer any apology for wrong doing and did not reach out directly to the victim. They did not name male violence, rape, torture or paedophilia, instead using this distasteful term ‘gender-based violence’. A direct insult to the victim and the gender critical women who exposed Challenor’s membership of the party. They took an entire week to publish any statement at all and when it did emerge contained this line “There is no connection between these offences and Mr Challenor’s previous membership of the Green Party.” What on earth is meant by that? He was an activist for you, a suspected paedophile was out (presumably) knocking on doors on your behalf.
David Challenor an anti-feminist lobbyist who, alongside other members of the LGBTIQA+ Greens, have spent the last few years running a successful campaign of intimidation and hatred towards feminists. The main objectives of these activists has been to:
Legalise prostitution
Promote medical transition of children and adults
Allow male bodied individuals access to women’s spaces
Promote the idea of ‘gendered’ brains, an idea which has been used to subjugate women and girls
Normalise sexual fetishes such as BDSM (violence) and AB/DL (which involves dressing up as a baby, often wearing a diaper)
Silence women who disagree with the above agenda (some members of LGBTIQA+ Greens celebrated the violent attack of feminist, Maria Maclachlan."
They called what DC did to that child gender-based violence? How awfully polite of them. Have they no shame?
And David Challenor was a member of LGBTetc Greens??? Somehow I'd missed that. I suppose he might identify as
bi/trans/queer/aromantic, but how many GP members who knew about the 'adult baby' stuff were genuinely surprised when things turned out the way they did? I'm not suggesting that all diaper-lovers are child abusers, but I do think that people who push for acceptance of this stuff via political channels have strange priorities and possible issues with impulse control and boundaries.
