The Left? This is reddit, uber-libertatian free speech bastion (as they like to think of themselves)
The Green Party has some serious questions to answer

- Start date
If you post info from such a partisan source, you can expect people to question it. You know this.

You linked directly to linehan who posted up his own comment and that from ‘a friend’. You’re either being disingenuous or naive.
As to AC, her case seems about as typical as that of far right ‘feminist’ Posie Parker. I’m sure you’d be delighted if we simply ascribed her views to you, in the same way you seek to imply all trans women are AC’s.

Can we talk about Reddit employing a person who employed a paedophile as their agent when they were standing for GP election and who is now married to a paedophile?

I'm not talking about reddit - I'm talking about the usual idiotic chant of "transphobia" from the liberal left whenever this issue comes up, which it does with depressing regularity. In the case of Reddit it is the site's owners and upper echelons who have circled their wagons around AC, I'm sure they aren't just super-neo-liberal corporate wankers or anything. Same with twitter who'll ban you for saying you're a woman if a transwoman complains about it. But yeah, "most oppressed minority evah".

And how talking about it inevitably brings the usual barrage of allegations of "transphobia" in an attempt to shut that conversation down?

I assume to be consistent the people angry at Reddit hiring Aimee Challenor are also just as angry about India Knight working for the Times? (convicted paedo partner)
Challenor seems a damaged person who hasn't necessarily behaved well in the past but has she been convicted of a crime? Is she not allowed to work?

Read his tweets. He admits to being a paedophile. He denies ever having acted upon his urges irl.

I would say that an admin position on a social media platform is a particularly ill-suited job for such a person. Whoever in HR was responsible for hiring her seems particularly ill-suited for their job too.
It's not really clear to me what her job with Reddit involves tbh, and according to the article above they haven't said. Is she definitely an admin?

It's nothing to do with AC getting a job - at least it ain't for me (although the ease with which this rep of the "most oppressed group ever" managed to stroll into a major internet corporate is kinda interesting pinkwashing) - it's everything to do with her using that job to completely shut down a discussion of the pedophile ring centreing on her father and her husband and how for example people like AC were able to draft Trans policy for the Green Party - policy which directly impacted on safeguarding issues and which many people flagged up as problematic on safeguarding grounds. Also the way that the liberal-left has used the shout of "transphobia" to do likewise, including on this thread.
THAT is a problem for many people, yes. It's interesting again how when someone like AC collides with the real world a load of people end up with egg on their faces. I can see why the liberal left are not keen for any kind of discussion to take place on this, they end up provoking a lot of opposition.
It'll be fascinating to watch Reddit's weaseling on this over coming days.

Not sure it matters. She was in a position through which she could have content removed and users banned for posting an article that mentions her name. Whatever the name is for that position in the company, she was clearly not the right person to be doing it.
Reddit claim in their statement there was a complaint of doxxing from an employee, and an overzealous autodelete thing - I don't see anything that says she had control over the process. She could work in accounts for all we know.

It's opaque, because reddit has a policy not to disclose the real world names of their admins. Much like here.
The activation of the automated system that enforces that policy is all the evidence we have here.

Trans unemployment runs at approximately 50% in the uk. But one trans woman has a job at a company you’ve heard of, so that must mean trans people aren’t really oppressed.

If you can bear reading a page from Linehan, there's info here - AC identifies herself as a Reddit admin in a mail here Something rotten at the heart of Reddit

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Yeah, leaving aside the rights and wrongs of this particular individual, I assume that this logic also means that (cis)women's oppression ended in the UK by 1979 at the latest, and it's ridiculous to talk about black people in the US being oppressed from 2008 onwards?

It really would be great if we could talk about this particular woman who happens to be trans, who most of us agree is a bit of a knob, without it being used as a vehicle to chat shit about trans people as a group.

Whiff of bullshit here, who actually has these figures?
I know you've no interest in finding any common ground, but for the benefit of others, the point is that major social media corporates like Reddit and Twitter are heavily in favour of Gender Identity theory and like to prove this with prominent public appointments of trans or very trans-friendly employees. It doesn't really fit with the "most oppressed evah" line and it sort of indicates that the stupid attempt to make this a left-right issue is also horseshit since these people are clearly aggressive neo-liberal capitalists.

Yes I am.
I don't think anyone who lives with a paedophile, convicted or self-confessed, should have access to vulnerable children (and it's unquestionable that there are huge swathes of vulnerable children posting on reddit).
