A member of Stonewall Trans Advisory Group, Aimee Challenor joined the Green Party on 11th December 2014 and was elected a year later as chair of the LGBTIQA+ Greens Liberation Group.
Proposer to motion C4 “ Recognising Trans Identities “ at the 2016 Autumn Conference with support from 29 members, the then chair of the influential LGBTIQA+ Greens played a key role in shifting the Green Party’s direction away from its main aims and core values towards Identity Politics.
Replicating Stonewall ‘s mantra, the motion read : “There are many Gender Identities , that are within, and outside of the traditional Gender Binary of man and woman “, adding : “ The Green Party recognises that Trans Men are Men, Trans Women are Women, and that non-binary identities exist and are valid and real “. The motion committed the Green Party to “include, and push for further acceptance of transgender and non-binary people within all areas of society “.
Aimee Challenor was elected as a member of the Green Party’s Executive Committee in September 2017, appointed as the national Spokesperson on LGBTIQA+ issues and ran for the post of Deputy Leader in June/July 2018.
Aimee was then suspended from the Green Party. The harrowing circumstances surrounding that disciplinary action and Aimee’s departure from the party have been partially disclosed in the Verita report published on 11th January 2019. *
The adoption of C4 motion by conference participants took place 7 years ago. This is the vote which may one day be recorded as the moment when the Green Party of England and Wales was “captured”. It marked the event when the incursion of Stonewall’s widely disputed and discriminatory gender ideology began to influence party policies.
One could argue that it is from that day on that the green Trans Train quietly embarked on its “long march” towards the “capture” of the Party’s internal Instruments of Governance, including its deeply troubled Disciplinary process.
The Green Party remains affiliated to Stonewall.
