Aimee Challenor Quits!

They are excused any responsibility due to their identity being trans

In related territory, this is referred to as "the racism of low expectations".

Post #Metoo the Greens think its ok to say, that a candidate has no responsibility or moral duty to consider whether their election agent facing serious sexual offence charges might be a bit of an issue which is incompatible with party values of social justice.

They are excused any responsibility due to their identity being trans, and pointing out that trans people have just as much responsibility to engage their brains and moral compass as any other candidate is transphobic.

Are they therefore saying that trans people are so handicapped and/or oppressed that they no longer have a fully functioning ability to use their brains or they are so handicapped and/or oppressed that they lost their moral compass, and we should just be making accomodation for this?

Just so we are clear here about how far the Greens are pushing Trans Rights to make sure they don't fall foul of Aimee's accusation that they are 'falling behind' others.

Even half the stuff in that infogalactic piece would consign most politicians to the outer darkness.

The Greens appear to think that the more batshit the candidate, the more virtue they can signal by supporting them.

If the Greens were anything other than a knitting group for people with time on their hands, then the photographs of Challoner in nappies would be handy electoral campaigning material in Coventry: "the truth about the Greens". But the Greens are politically irrelevant, so no serious political party needs to get in the cesspit with their members.

Even half the stuff in that infogalactic piece would consign most politicians to the outer darkness.

C'mon BBC and Guardian! Would you be adopting this moral disdain for grubby facts if it were a member of Leave campaign with a role in shaping brexit policy?

I sill love you both, but you're making this hard...

And now it appears that the Green Party (some of them) did know, but didn't pass the information on. And they didn't know DC was a member (did Aimee forget this wee detail?)

If I were able to edit that InfoGalactic piece I'd do two things:

Replace 'backward' in SEBD context with another word.

Replace 'child pornography' with 'images of child abuse'.

Nevertheless it's a powerful article.

So, I'm looking forward to hearing the Green Party explain its selection policy and letting us know what background checks they carry out on prospective candidates to ensure the public is voting for people of probity to represent us in parliament.

I note that there has been a collective sharp intake of breath from members of the Green Party, once they have seen it and shared it on Twitter.

If Stonewall genuinely financed the injunction against Healey, I'm speechless at this interference in the constitutional activities of a national/international political party. What on earth are they doing with the other parties? How is this legitimate for a charity?

That InfoGalactic link is quite something. It would be good to send it to the BBC reporter who wrote the story about Aimee Challenor, though disappointingly there isn't a byline on the story.

I've just read the whole thing and am horrified that the Green Party had anything to do with that family.

Aimee/Ashton has been active for many years since the age of fourteen or younger on sexual fetishist websites such as Fur Affinity where he uses the name @MuckyMeerkat. He linked this to his Twitter ID @challenora which has since been suspended and replaced with another one. [16] In his profile he describes himself as "diapered at all ages” and uploads photographs of himself wearing nappies i.e. baby's diapers.

So it wasn't just his dad who was wearing nappies? FFS!

In December 2015, he persuaded the Green Party to adopt a policy that male prisoners who "identify" as women should be housed in women's prisons, even when the men are convicted rapists and murderers.

Was this after AC's dad was arrested?

I loved "He now claims on his LinkedIn page to have a degree in politics from the Open University, obtained in 2018-2024 i.e. the future."

Hear hear hackmum. Sadly expecting the blighter back very soon

Is that going to be the benchmark from now on? An issue that affects less than 2% of the population is not to be reported?

I recall the scorn the Today programme attracted when it devoted one of its programmes to the London Fashion Week. I can't imagine that being an event that involves more than 2% of the population.

It's a stupid example to highlight a stupid excuse.

The bbc are the biggest white-washers of the lot - even more than the Guardian.

The left wingers like to say that the BBC is biased to the right wing. And the right wingers like to say that the BBC is biased to the left wing.

I don't think it's that: I think the BBC, as a state broadcaster, has an "establishment" bias. And that it so wholeheartedly supports the transactivist agenda says to me, as the writer in the Spectator also said the other day, is evidence that this is an establishment project and not a liberation movement for transsexuals. Indeed, transsexuals seem to have been entirely forgotten.

The letter I got from the bbc says that their coverage was small because the greens only have 1.6% of the vote in the U.K. it would seem they either have no clue or have no wish to do any kind of investigative journalism.

Really? How do they explain their endless interviews with Nigel Farage at a point when UKIP was barely a political force in the UK?

There is a summary of the AC story. together with sources and illustrations.

It covers the family background, political career, involvement in trans activism, evidence of sexual proclivities, links to Stonewall and aftermath of the public "outing". In other words, the details and full picture.

And there are still some who are screeching and telling people not to read it because it was written by a transphobe.

I'm most disappointed in them on this, as I've always staunchly defended them in the past.

This is making the Monster Raving Loonies seem like a viable contender for my vote.

Sian Berry (co-leader of the Green Party) was interviewed on the Today programme on Radio 4 this morning. Not a sausage about any Challenor-related difficulties the party are currently having. Unsurprising though, the BBC really does not like to step outside the boundaries of a stunning and brave narrative.

Good point about Aimee’s moral compass.
Aimee’s experience of such a dysfunctional background it’s what’s enabling her to plough on.
Similar to how a domestic violence victim will go into patch up mode before the police arrive or the dc get up. Clean it up, wipe the blood... nothing to see here ..all normal.
Aimee does not realize how fucked up her world is. It’s why she’s giving interviews, it’s why she’s pointing the finger at others.
It’s also why she shouldn’t be in any position of authority and why she should not have a platform.

Assigned Female At Birth, Non-Binary (NB = Enby or Enbie, spelling varies).

A female person who isn’t entirely stereotypically feminine in absolutely every way.

So, an ordinary woman.

Yes sorry I should have been clearer afab enby is how she described herself (and I had to google enby) but it means non binary apparently so as Betty says above an ordinary woman who wants to claim special trans status. I apologise for the derailment with my outburst I was just irritated by the blocking of women who haven't even said anything (on that Twitter account) yet. I did hop out of the account to read the tweets.

And this Their arguments tend to be driven by emotions, how something makes them feel, rather than pointing to facts or rationality. And they view hurtful speech as a form of violence" from Alicethroughtheblackmirror (love that name btw) is exactly why I have a problem with it. You need to be more robust to get through life and you need to be able to question to tell the truth, posit theories or even tell your own story. Critical thinking people - it involves listening and reading things you may not like - which is relevant to Aimee and the alleged ignorance of the nature of DC's crime. Learn to deal with opinions you dislike, don't just block them out.

Back on topic
I feel pity and some sympathy for the child Aimee was but now Aimee is an adult albeit a damaged one. Aimee has to be responsible at some point for their own actions. I think Aimee needs support and a hefty dose of reality to establish right and wrong here because their moral compass IS faulty regardless of whether this is down to their past it still needs to be addressed.

The sense of 'the party' giving up its values, the second Aimee was questioned and it being framed as all policy, whilst only meaning trans issues. It wasn't about party policy, but doing what Aimee wanted and now no longer getting their own way, which had provoked this lashing out at the party in response.

The whole innocent act, but unable to answer why they did not ask their father about 'serious offences' in any detail. On this note, what counts as 'serious offences'? Aimee was horrified by the child aspect having 'only found out recently' it involved recently. The implication being that knowing 'serious offences' were on the table, but this wasn't an issue until it became apparent children were involved. It's like a moral compass bypass, until someone mentions the children.

Good post as usual Red Aimee sees any dissension as personal and IF the lack of looking into the true nature of their father's crimes is true (and not just a deny until proved otherwise) that is problematic too. A serious crime is a serious crime whoever it involves.

WhereDoWeBeginToCovet- I completely agree with your assessment of AC there- the cool handed ness is disturbing. Sociopathic.
