The Sun admit the Ian Huntley isTrans story was made up

Huntley is a psychopath. When you see people like him in court, they operate on a completely different planet to everyone else. They can say one thing is the truth, then the next minute say the opposite thing is the truth and they make you believe it. They are gaslighter extraordinaires.

The ‘correction’ has been placed there for a reason. I don’t know the reason yet, but if I were the editor, I would have only put that correction in so that in a few months, when Huntley claims one again to be a woman, or a dragon, or a leaopard, I could refer back to it. There’s something afoot, and it’s probably not what we think it is.

Jeremy Vine knows this, of course, with his pedigree. But he’s using it for his own Twitter capital.

This is how he autographed newspaper cuttings for 'friends' in 2017.

Old news really. But if this is true we must remember that this is a man who was convicted of a terrible crime against children. Why should I care?
He’s not the smartest person in the country. Remember his bullshit afterwards as he was asked questions about those two boys he slaughtered for no reason?

It's also worth pointing out that true or false this story couldn't even exist without the push for and commonplace acceptance in some circles of Self ID.

If it was a true story Huntley couldn't have claimed to be Trans without the propaganda train of Self ID.

If it was a false story the media couldn't have claimed he was Trans without the propaganda train of Self ID.

And there is a signed article by 'Ian Lian Huntley' from 2017

I don't understand this. It's claimed that Lian is the female equivalent of Ian, when manifestly it isn't; and if he were, as alleged, using a female name instead of Ian, why has he signed that as Ian?

But they saw inside his soul and saw it was female

Caught out now arent u.

Women were banned for dead naming him.and everything

LOL is anyone really surprised?!

Fucking pondscum Huntley is!

So hang on... This correction is in itself misleading, because Huntley is in fact trans and is/wants to be in a women's prison?
Bloody hell. I'd LOVE to be able to form an INFORMED opinion on the trans debate, but the bare facts are nowhere to be seen, or are manipulated to suit a certain agenda.

Well, this article was from the Telegraph in 2017, is that "fake news" and if so are they going to apologise?

Here again in the Guardian in 2017.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/18/identity-issue-our-age-talk-more-honestly-trans-women

I remember Madigan on their twitter feed trying to say the Karen White stories were "fake news", and couldn't believe the depths which some people would go to in order to defend murderers and rapists.

anyone defending the notion that Huntley was anything but a male, murdering scumbag needs to have a word with themselves.

What about acceptance without exception?

As soon as the story was printed he should have been dragged from his cell and put in a woman's prison, as the Linden's wanted, his views had nothing to do with it.

As previous posters have said who knows what is true or not with a lying sociopath. It's just as likely that he tried it on, realised he wasn't going to get any cookies for it and sacked it off as bad job.

Really anyone defending the notion that Huntley was anything but a male, murdering scumbag needs to have a word with themselves.

So the Star got her name wrong, it's Lian not Nichola, but what does it have to do with the sun?

Certainly makes Twitter look silly for banning those referring to this monster as a 'he'.

I don't understand this?

Ian Huntley would like to make it clear

Would he now?

This is a man who stood there and lied on national telly in the most horrific way possible, after carrying out the most horrific of crimes.

Why would anyone care or believe what 'Ian Huntley wants to make clear'?

And as others have said, the point here isn't even if it's true or not. It's that the trans cult is so deeply entrenched in some places that people would believe that Huntley is a woman just on his say so, and even believe that he should be in a female prison, because 'acceptance without exception' and anything less would be 'transphobic'.

The Sun did not say it made the story up.

It wasn't even The Sun. It was the Daily Star on Sunday. So much for the OP's call for accurate reporting.

And they reported that Ian Huntley has stated that aspects of the original story did not take place.

The Daily Star on Sunday did not apologise or assert that the original story was untrue.

Ian Huntley is not the story and never was.

The fact that his possible claim to be a woman was championed by lots of activists and other assorted types is the story. What does it tell you if someone can potentially plant a story about a contemptible person claiming 'trans rights' and manage to get a portion of people to go along with it as a positive idea?

What else might that kind of manipulation be useful for? Good grief. Is the 'woke' thing ironic? Is it meant to signal someone so bloody gullible and biddable they might as well be sleep walking?

It's not even The Sun "admitting" it....

He's literally a lying fucking psychopath.

Let’s remember this important fact, and that being gender critical isn’t about individual transpeople.

He's such a trustworthy well respected source.

Not like Ian Huntley to make up a story

Only the name and the wig was wrong, surely.

"This is shocking. This story has been repeated over and over again as some kind of political grenade. "

What's shocking? There's literally his signature in the name of Lian.

Why are we supposed to believe that NONE of this happened.

He's literally a lying fucking psychopath.

Actually I thought it wasn't so much that they have made it up, as much as Huntley, a pathologically violent man who lied extremely convincingly on National Television about murdering two little girls, has denied it. They've printed his denial.

Of course its possible that he's much more truthful these days and we should believe his every word now. Perhaps he doesn't lie any more.

I'll remain sceptical though.

As to whether he has or hasn't ever claimed to be transgender, has yet to be established.
We do know that there are other male rapists and murderers who have made that claim, and been accorded validation and transfer to the female estate. Huntley was never the first and will not be the last.

Violent male prisoners have been known to claim transgender status in prison. This is indisputable fact. Huntley is a drop in the ocean.
