Wow

PutItAwayDear · 03/09/2018 21:44

She's gone before being pushed huh?

Squawking TRANSPHOBIA as she goes to try and counter whatever grim shit is waiting to be uncovered.

AbsintheFriends · 03/09/2018 21:45

I'm calling this move The Strategic Distraction Flounce.

Mumsnut · 03/09/2018 21:49

Has AC's Twitter been deleted? Can't find it

Popchyk · 03/09/2018 21:50

There will be some panic at Green Party Women tonight.

Because they stuck their necks out in support of Aimee, saying publicly that they knew about the charges, directly contradicting the official GP statement.

Now Aimee's resigned.

And put Green Party Women in the line of fire instead. The investigation will be looking at them now because they opened their big fat gobs when there was absolutely no need.

Well played, handmaidens.

Isn't it interesting that the people in the Green Party who supported AC completely and put themselves out the most for AC are exactly the ones who will be most burned in the end? That's gratitude for you.

LadyLauraOver · 03/09/2018 21:50

I wonder if any of the Labour party are watching this unfold and just getting an inkling that L Madigan may not have been their smartest political move after all?

I think there will shortly be clouds of dust from politicians of all persuasions running to distance themselves and take the higher ground. "Yes, we always supported women don't you know?".

happydappy2 · 03/09/2018 21:52

I hope Aimee is getting the support they need & I also worry about a young trans identified male in the Labour Party who might find themselves out of their depth quite soon. Political parties have a lot to answer for.

annandale · 03/09/2018 21:52

Agree Thingybob. My mind shies away from the childhood Aimee has had, and they are articulate, strong and good at networking. They'd no doubt spit on my concern but i hope one day they find a way to heal from the past.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/09/2018 21:54

Keep your eyes peeled for more Strategic Defense Flounces, I'm guessing this won't be the last of them.

At this point it seems like everything is transphobia. Apples? Transphobia. Raining? Transphobia. Forgot your umbrella? Bloody T*RFS, they made you do it.

Very, very interesting.
Using to get what you want and when it fails throwing them under the bus.

Ereshkigal · 03/09/2018 22:04

Or maybe Aimee doesn't realise what has been uncovered about Aimee's social media presence?? Furries, nappies, ffs.

Given that the alleged AC social media accounts were being taken down as fast as the links were made public I somehow doubt that, One went while I was reading it.

IAmNotInvisible · 03/09/2018 22:08

Talking of Lily, anyone notice this tweet today - I thought they already had a GRC?

Breaking news: CAROLINE LUCAS HAS BEEN ADDED TO TERFBLOCKER.

Insane.

LadybirdsAreBirds · 03/09/2018 22:11

Why are we still calling AC she? I refuse to

Trinity1976 · 03/09/2018 22:15

So mumsnet members are leaving the Green Party because they have dropped Women's Rights in favour of Trans Rights. Meanwhile, trans-folk are leaving the Green Party because they consider them to be transphobic? Seems the Green Party can't keep anyone happy.

Macareaux · 03/09/2018 22:16

Off topic, but with same sex marriage now possible why cant Lily get married?

I might join the green party if they handle this right, and stop all the 'non-men' nonsense.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/09/2018 22:19

Isn't Lily in a relationship with a young woman? If so Lily could have gotten married even before gay marriage was legal. Does Lily think they refuse you the marriage license if you show up in matching pink hoodies?

ToeToToe · 03/09/2018 22:23

I believe Lily is not legally a woman yet - Lily would have to marry as a man by law- being born male and not having a GRC. Thus it would be a dull straightforward heterosexual marriage with a woman, and thus no fun at all, and not remotely special.

You see, self ID is not actually law yet, despite numerous organisations, political parties, councils etc acting as though it is.

Lily is not legally a woman until Lily gets a GRC - Lily has previously claimed on twitter to have a GRC, but that is clearly bollocks given: Lily's age, Lily's first GIC appointment only being a matter of months ago, and Lily bemoaning the fact that Lily could not get the sex on Lily's passport changed.

OrchidInTheSun · 03/09/2018 22:27

Lily is a fucking liar.

KeneftYakimoski · 03/09/2018 22:33

Occam’s Razor says that David Challoner is a long term serial abuser, who abused his children . This resulting in their instability and willingness to act as a stalking horse. Whether Tina Challoner is victim, co-conspirator or both will probably emerge later.

The people who come out of this worst, apart obviously from the actual criminal, are the Greens. But their lack of political judgement and enthusiasm for jumping on any passing bandwagon is hardly news; it’s just that this time it was a bandwagon full of shit. Again, Occam’s Razor says Aimee Challoner is deeply troubled and in need of help, and putting them up as a political “rising star” was cynical Svengalism by the Greens.

Beautifulday49 · 03/09/2018 22:35

I wonder if Aimee will flounce off and join Lily in the good old bloke-ish Labour Party...?

AngryAttackKittens · 03/09/2018 22:36

Points to the Tories for once I suppose for not acquiring a token clearly troubled young person to groom as their Official Transperson in an effort to capture the youth vote.

arranfan · 03/09/2018 22:37

I've just read some more interesting items about attempted amendments to the GP constitution with some additional remarkable stuff.

At the same Spring 18 conference Aimee #Challenor (with Molly Arthurs, NB, and Teresa Ravenshaw, trans) put forward motions to remove the word 'female' from Green Party constitution, turning mechanisms created to tackle sexism into trans promoting mechanisms

And at same Spring 18 conference the words 'women and girls' were removed from text about female genital mutilation and changed to 'a person maybe subject to FGM', to hide the fact that this is crime that happens to women and girls because of our SEX.

How on earth did this pass scrutiny?

I thought you only needed a letter from your doctor to get a passport altered
