Aimee Knight (née Challenor) is a British transgender activist and former politician. She was a rising star in the Green Party and it's equalities spokesperson.[1] In 2018, her father, who had been her election agent, was convicted of raping a child and she was no-fault suspended during an investigation into safeguarding failures by the party.[1] She subsequently joined the Liberal Democrats in 2019 and was suspended after tweets appeared on her fiance's account stating he fantasized about children having sex, which she attributed to hacking.[2]
Knight later worked for Reddit as an administrator. In March 2021, a moderator was banned for linking to an article which mentioned her. Approximately 200 subreddits went private in protest of the ban and Knight's employment, arguing she hadn't been vetted properly due to her father and fiance. Reddit's CEO issued a statement that the ban had been the result of an overzealous automated moderating system meant to prevent doxxing and that she was no longer employed.[2]
She has been subject to harassment from anti-trans activists who have attempted to use her to link trans women and transgender rights with child abuse.[2][3]
