Recently spotted on Twitter and reported today

@ bunifoosh
This is Aimee Challenor’s partner. This needs reported (to the police preferably).

mobile.twitter.com/bunifoosh/status/1150864993761595392

Bunifosh is posting inresponse to a thread started by Nathaniel Knight @ kharonalpua (Aimees’ partner)

mobile.twitter.com/kharonalpua/status/1150825601156227072

And lastly
Nathaniels’ post was because poster Whistleblower11097 posted on a current MN thread - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3635063-Challenor-on-LBC-this-morning?msgid=88567343
That post as been deleted

The content highlighted by bunifosh is worrying, but of greater concern is the thread from Nathaniel as it’s direct from the horses mouth, and admits to child rape fantasies, inappropriate communication with a minor, etc.

Aimee Challenor (from wiki)
Aimee Challenor (born 1 October 1997) is a British politician and transgender activist and former spokesperson for the Green Party of England and Wales. In 2017, she stood for election in Coventry South, receiving 1.3% of the votes. In 2018, her father, who had been serving as her election agent, was convicted and jailed for sexual offences against a child, leading to Challenor's suspension from the party during an investigation. She later resigned and is currently a member of the Liberal Democrats.

Aimee has been dragged into this as Nathaniel tweeted in the above linked thread
“So how can @ AimeeChallenor work with vulnerable teenagers when she's in a relationship with me? I don't have a violent bone in my body, and I have no interest in real children. In more than half of my lifetime, I have not "graduated" from a fetish for fantasy children to...”

The optics are not good for Aimee or the Liberal Democrats.

I couldn’t even imagine wanting to be in the same room as the brain that has those thoughts.

Is this guy in Michigan does anyone know?

AC and MK are getting married in Michigan

Online form for child abuse and neglect but need to register first which I haven't done.

Obviously this thread is being watched and whilst we should haven't to be careful about voicing safeguarding concerns around children we can expect screenshots on twitter soon...

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 16/07/2019 08:41

They won’t care because they just won’t get it. There is something broken in people like that - their own absolute belief in their own self.

OhHolyJesus · 16/07/2019 08:40

I'll be making a call this morning, suggest a number of us call to voice concerns, maybe anonymously.

I'd like to think that Mumsnet, as a parenting site, would like to be at the forefront on any fight against paedophilia, imagined or real.

People like this have /will always be around. Hard as it is to read sometimes, perhaps their propensity for outing themselves on the internet is a good thing, as it could provide evidence in the future if the material has been archived. JY's past has come back to haunt him. Mr Knight might well wish he'd kept his mouth shut too, because we will, indeed, be keeping an eye on him... and his associates.

And in my book, autism and transgenderism are not 'get out of jail free' cards when it comes to child safe-guarding.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 16/07/2019 08:38

It's caught my attention this. A pal of DS13's got autism, fine in mainstream school, but, friendships are becoming more and more challenging for him as people don't always want to do what DSfriend wants and DSfriend really can't cope with that.

DS was upset over some of the stuff Friend was sharing on group whassap. It was zombie and anime porn - shared to group of 13 year olds.

I wonder how many autistic kids find these (possibly) autistic adults and that feeds into this subculture, which, at the root, is dangerous.

His parents and school have been very good at dealing with the porn stuff - but, DSFriend has no idea about what is socially appropriate, and it is terrifying.

LangCleg · 16/07/2019 08:36

JFC Thingybob, read the fucking room. There are society-wide attacks on safeguarding going on right now which will compromise the safety of every child (and woman) in the land. We all know some people have the potential to be both harmful and vulnerable. Now is not the time to centre them. Get a grip.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 16/07/2019 08:34

Indeed. Autism isn’t a get out of jail free card. If he was that vulnerable then he would need treatment and close supervision. He/she is being chivvied on by who? Who is encouraging this and telling them it’s ok and ‘good’?

Rumplesmoothskin · 16/07/2019 08:33

What can be done about this? What should we do as individuals?

IfNot · 16/07/2019 08:32

I think anyone meeting him in real life would see him as a vulnerable person
Fuck NO. Hes not fucking "vulnerable". Hes very articulate! Autism can't be used as some excuse. Thats really quite insulting to people with Autism! ( I have a close relative with severe autism).

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 16/07/2019 08:31

Mother (father? Who knows the family dynamic) needs to get some help with the boy before the police come knocking then.

Thingybob · 16/07/2019 08:29

I believe he lives with his Mother LordFekko (or did until late recently) so presumably she is looking out for him IRL. Sadly these people often do not have anyone looking out for them in thier virtual worlds.

NotTerfNorCis · 16/07/2019 08:29

Aimee and friends seem to inhabit a twilight world... that guy's tone was so self-righteous. He had no concept of how people outside his twilight world would see him.

Let's hope this doesn't spread.

IfNot · 16/07/2019 08:29

Ha! The first comment under that Twitter brain dump:
"That's a lot of words to say you're a Nonce"
That's it really. That's all any ordinary person would think.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 16/07/2019 08:28

Who is stopping the stopping of this?

That is the question

LangCleg · 16/07/2019 08:27

Im not trying to excuse him but a little background on NK. He is severely autistic and has almost zilch understanding of the world and other people. I think anyone meeting him in real life would see him as a vulnerable person.

It's not about him personally any more than it is about AC personally.

It's about boundaries and safeguarding and the capture of authorities and institutions that are overseeing the destruction of such in pursuit of a queer/critical theory worldview.

It's about harm potential. Navel gazing over the usual mad, bad or sad quandaries are irrelevant to the protection of children in society.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 16/07/2019 08:24

If this person is vulnerable - why is no one looking out for them? Why is it that people are able to spout this unfettered and people are too scared/bullied to call them out? Who is stopping the stopping of this?

LangCleg · 16/07/2019 08:21

If these last few brazen moves by edge case trans people and kink people are accepted with little or no pushback (and I mean something far more intense than some angry tweeting or mumsnet threads!), there is absolutely nothing stopping the next step in the progression.

I agree.

And more than that, we need to keep speaking out about boundary destruction for children everywhere. Including in some materials put forward as suitable for the about-to-become compulsory relationships and sex education in primary schools. Including about the NSPCC subtly changing its definition of child abuse in material it presents to children at school assemblies.

Including all of it.

The LibDems don’t have the balls to pull them up on this.

No one seems to be willing to say ‘look here - you have a clear agenda and blackmail anyone who doesn’t agree with you - you have no voice for for women or children and you should shut up. I am suspicious of everything you say. You seemingly centre kink and sex to everything you do and say - this is not your average behaviour. I see you...’ I’d vote for them. Even if it was Boris.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 16/07/2019 08:04

I didn't realise Aimee and her dad set up terf blocker!

ThinkWittyThoughts · 16/07/2019 08:03

I have no words.

And his snide comment about whistleblower staying anonymous has made me quite angry. Yes, we live in a world where people are proud to announce their paedophilia but it's dangerous for women to denounce them.

I feel sick.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 16/07/2019 08:03

Who would be the person in th Lib Dems to flag this up to?

Cos, it's deeply, deeply worrying.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 16/07/2019 08:00

What is it in these peoples psyche? The blatant attention seeking - no matter how gross and ugly. There is definitely a ‘type’ isn’t there.
