And it's to influence public policy and it's been retweeted by the police

I believe Aimee has been involved with that group since they were transitioning and has been a mentor for several years. I am not suggesting that Aimee is a predator but is clearly totally unsuitable for the role due to their disabilities and dysfunctional upbringing

HandsOffMyRights · 14/10/2019 20:21

Challenor once mentioned in a tweet about being at Challenor's local police station in Coventry, waiting to report an internet hate crime (such as woman equals AHF or women don't have a certain sexual organ).

Either this force is brainwashed or pressured, or both.

Whatever the reason, when children are involved major safeguarding red flags have to be raised, as they would in a school in such circumstances.

But doesn't Stonewall advise the police? Ac is/was on the steering committee wasn't AC?

It is a very thin pink, white and blue line indeed.

Here we go. Nspcc all over again

Does Challenor also still have a role with the LibDems?

Challenor threw toys out of the pram over Dr Philip Lee joining the LDs.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 14/10/2019 20:09

In April, Challenor was described as a 'mentor', so I would guess that she is indeed in contact with the children using the service.

That would explain why so many people were trying to shut down the thread the other day about people who give you the creeps, eh? Don't trust your instincts, women, that might lead to you acting on them and then where would we be?

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 14/10/2019 20:05

My personal theory is that some of these very damaged TRAs give people the total creeps. And those people then double down because they don't want to expose what they perceive as their own internalised transphobia. So while their senses are shouting, 'get the fuck away from this person!' their mouths are saying, 'here is the key to the girls' changing room Miss Yaniv sir. I mean miss.'

What do they say on flights then ‘right there you bastards/shower of shits’?

I’m actually a three spirit penguin. Very very special. Them/They/That lot/Many/‘Behold!’

SunsetBeetch · 14/10/2019 20:01

Unbelievable. I could possibly understand it if Aimee was intelligent or charismatic, or had shown any signs of contrition. HOW do they keep getting these roles???!!

Coldwatershock · 14/10/2019 20:01

Can the concerned public do anything useful? What about the locality safeguarding board? Or the directors of the charity? Also at the moment quite rubbish speakers are paid handsomely to do this stuff, so desperate are organisations to be woke. We had gender training at work recently and the person who came was crap... Talked about themselves most of the time (what a surprise) and couldn't answer anything about stats/facts. It's boom time for dimwits.

Aimee has had links with this group for years. Certainly through the Green Party thing, and it has continued despite her being quietly dropped by Stonewall at the same time as Ruth Hunt announced her resignation. Quite possibly since she was a child.

They don't seem to mind.

I glanced at Aimee's Twitter the other day. (Insomnia is a cruel thing.) She seems to be cooling on the LibDems and getting more involved in American politics. More Green stuff as well. Perhaps the LibDems, with the scent of a serious victory in a snap election and new MPs from or parties, are sharpening up their act. Background researchers may consider poor Aimee as a potential liability.

Aimee did manage to have an interaction with Piers Morgan on Twitter after her claims to have helped get Air Canada to drop "Ladies and Gentlemen" from their announcements. Piers Morgan is currently identifying at a two spirit penguin (like our very own Fekko) which sems have encouraged the whole TRA crew to take a pop at him. Piers can hold his own.

What could an 11 year old and a 25 year old have in common that they'd benefit from discussing in a group setting?

zanahoria · 14/10/2019 19:54

" Note the age group. 13 - 21. I would hope that any organisation which allows such a wide range of ages to mix freely has robust safeguarding policies. Serisyly what 21 year old wants to hang out with 13 year olds?"

I saw an ad today for an LGBTQ+ group that was for 11-25.

StealthPolarBear · 14/10/2019 19:42

Isn't chancellor a trans woman? And can therefore do no wrong.
Didn't you all get the memo?

ChattyLion · 14/10/2019 19:38

What the hell is this organisation thinking?
Are the children and parents involved being made aware of this person’s back story?
And what of that back story, qualifies this person to offer anyone advice on anything related to children?

Floisme · 14/10/2019 18:56

I trust Prism are familiar with the Verita report into the Green Party earlier this year and what it had to say about the party's grasp of safeguarding and about Aimee's judgement specifically.

AC is due to marry Nathaniel Knight in Dec in Michigan according to the tweet announcing their engagement.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 14/10/2019 18:27

Is Coventry Leeds pt 2?

TheAlternativeTentacle · 14/10/2019 18:26

I can't find any named people who run that group, nor full names of any staff or mentors.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 14/10/2019 18:26

I share your bafflement. Even if you put aside the many safeguarding and judgement concerns this individual is not exactly the most compelling speaker or writer. My cat would make a better community liason.

TheAlternativeTentacle · 14/10/2019 18:25

Not just a youth group, but one that meets kids at secret locations.

So totally safe.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 14/10/2019 18:17

I’d love to know what ACs secret is. I’ve seen their twitter feed, how they write, and I’ve seen them speak on videos and i am utterly baffled as to what these organisations are seeing in this person that makes them want to have them on board, as the public face of or as an advisor. There is nothing in the stuff I’ve seen that suggests to me this is an intelligent, articulate individual with a natural flair for PR. Quite the opposite in fact. I just don’t get it. Why are these organisations chomping at the bit to have this person join them (and risk all the negative focus that comes with it) is there a flip side to them that they’re keeping just for private meetings?

DJLippy · 14/10/2019 18:16

Note the age group. 13 - 21. I would hope that any organisation which allows such a wide range of ages to mix freely has robust safeguarding policies. Serisyly what 21 year old wants to hang out with 13 year olds?

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 14/10/2019 18:08

Please God tell me Challenor won't have actual access to children?

It's a youth group. My experience of youth groups is limited but the ones I know actively involve their members in policy making so I would assume* that Challenor's role in 'public policy' will involve contact with children.

*I sincerely hope I am wrong with this assumption
