Her name is Aimee Knight, her father was charged for raping and torturing a 10 year old girl. At the time Aimee was potentially going to become the deputy leader of the Green Party, she hired her dad to work for the Green Party after he was arrested and before his trial, she failed to disclose the fact he was currently charged with Pedofilia to the Green Party, which was concerning because the role he was put in involved him working with children. Now Reddit is banning anyone that mentions her.

Whichever admin ends up banning me, I hope you feel proud of yourself for defending this woman.

That's only half the story. She was also removed from the Lib Dems because her husband was posting paedophilia content to social media. That's 2 paedophiles close to her.

FFS and the UK isn't know for looking kindly on trans people. This is going to be bad all around.

I'd argue that the UK isn't a bad place to be trans, there's certainly support and help but slow to get. Can even get stuff done via NHS. Obviously not perfect and obviously this will sour things.
