Nepotism, pedophillia, and transition as a fast track to climbing the political ladder. Interesting how all of these particular kinds of cases involve men that think they’re women, it’s almost like transgenderism is a power grab for males. And not particularly good or worthy males, at that.

Yeah, it's interesting that starting as a teenager, Aimee, now 23 - who doesn't seem very bright, isn't impressive or appealing by any standards, and didn't (and still doesn't) have a uni degree - was put into positions of power and influence in/by numerous organizations. These include the UK Green Party - where Aimee chaired the LGBTQ committee starting in 2015, became party "equality spokesperson" in 2016, & was put forward as the party's candidate for the Coventry city council in 2016, and for Parliament in 2017 - as well as the Liberal Democratic Party, Stonewall (where Aimee was on the Trans Advisory Group), Coventry Pride, UK Girl Guiding, Prism (a charity for "LGBTQ" youth), Transport of London (Aimee got them to stop saying "ladies & gentleman" over the PA systems in the tube) and the various schools where Aimee as a Stonewall advisor gave talks to teens about "diversity, inclusion," countering "hate" & "transphobia."

Aimee was also given serious media coverage and the kid gloves treatment by the BBC and other press outlets who sought out Aimee as a spokesperson for "the trans community" & "the LGBT."

FFS, Aimee even was invited to take part in a debate at the Oxford Union, where Aimee took the position that universities should be "safe spaces" where no one is exposed to ideas that might "harm," distress or challenge them!

But wouldn't you know, not only did Aimee NOT put in a stellar performance, Aimee came off like a bumbler with sub-par intelligence dressed clownishly: https://youtu.be/Ntv4Fk3t1qw

For those who don't want to watch the video, Aimee "argued" that the only way to guarantee that all kinds of views from all kinds of people will get heard at universities is to make sure some kinds of views are restricted or banned.

Aimee's "research" into the advisability of placing trigger warnings on the materials and speakers that adults are exposed to at university consisted of noticing that the DVDs of two of Aimee's favorite movies - one a comedy, the other a horror flick - have age-ratings and content warnings on them so as to guide parents about whether they are appropriate for growing children. Aimee seemed completely unaware that there's a big difference between entertainment media consumed by growing children and educational materials for adults age 18+ at universities. Maybe this is because the only university Aimee has attended, and no one knows for how long, is Open University, which specializes in remote learning.

This is my inbox after I point out that these are the actions of a man, not a woman, and that it's unfair and dishonest to not mention the fact that this person is male: "She, her, this woman is evil!" etc.

If you don't want to read it all, at least check out what I highlighted in red.

Your archive idea was better than my outline.

At one meeting of a mainstream Tory think tank I was at a few weeks ago, a Cabinet minister you wouldn’t ever call a liberal declared their determination to advance the measure. In short, what you thought was the self-destructive politics of a Left that’s lost its purpose is now an establishment project.

Examples of similarly contradictory political scenarios are everywhere.

As if, actual facts don't matter, and they don't matter to the decision makers (the guys who pick the politicians, and give them orders). This is because the contradictory decisions advance a predetermined agenda.

When the facts don't matter, then look forTHE AGENDA.

These Agendas need to be exposed.

The Outlined article: in case someone exceeded the view count, or just hate pop-ups.
