Twitter taking action against accounts that deadname the Soham child murderer?

[LangCleg]

Yes, apparently it is.

(See second reply.)

Jeez imagine having more concern for his feelz than Holly, Jessica or their families. This could peak a lot of people. It’s peaked me again, for the hundredth time. It’s like climbing the bloody Himalayas.

If that is correct (as it appears from that twitter feed) we have hit a new low. I was in my late teens when this happened and lived quite near to Soham. The effect locally was horrific. So called dead naming and the cries of this causing literal harm to the person who has transitioned have always been part of TRAs narcissism. If they push it on this case, they may well peak trans most of the country.

There's no need to discuss them at all. Why give a murderer anymore attention?

Get over yourself.

This needs to go on AIBU.

The Twitter action is horrifying.

If it is true that Huntley is now identifying as female - I haven't seen any independent confirmation of that claim - I won't be surprised if Huntley requests a move to a female prison.

I should clarify, hit a new low in the behaviour of TRAs and their allies.

Thought he was going by Nicola these days.

Well in that case Wikipedia is deadnaming him too...

Again, if it is true, I suspect that it has less to do with the feelz and more to do with having access to women.

Twitter have a habit of making a rod for their own back with selective banning. I recall Maajid Nawaz calling them out for banning Milo while leaving Anjem Choudhry's accounts up.

I know there are rumours that IH now identifies as a women, but it's only a rumour, isn't it? How can a post be deleted for not believing or taking no notice of gossip?

It just shows them in their own true colours, protecting sex offenders and child murderers. If they had any sense they'd distance themselves from people like Huntley. Even Laverne Cox realised they'd made a mistake by supporting child murderer Synthia china blast and apologised for it.

I really think that you should get this moved to AIBU if possible. This is appalling

I would advise caution believing anything from XYR Coups

Is this the perp who is currently using the name of his victims mother?

The story that Huntley has transitioned has been reported for a year now.

I have it on very good authority that he does now identify as a woman.

Who cares what it calls itself as long as it's not let out.

'Who cares what it calls itself as long as it's not let out.'

Well, it's a child murderer who likely perpetrated a sexual crime against his victims who will want to be transferred to a women's prison with a fully intact penis and male hormones and male physical advantage, thus allowing him to potentially commit further crimes against females.

not let out, but wishing to transfer to a womans prison.

He is pretty much in solitary where he is (risk of being attacked) in the unlikely event he is moved to a women's prison, he'd be in solitary there too.... wherever he goes, he will be attacked by either gender.

He ll never be let out, any Government/Parole board who signed off his realise would face public outcry, as seen recently.

@WhoWants2Know - “Huntley’s been telling everyone to call him Lian," a source told the newspaper.

According to "a source". Who? Where's the evidence?

it's only a rumour, isn't it?

Yes. It's a rumour.

Does it mean that Twitter's algorithm actually is completely automated?

That's thing- it's not so much about Huntley per se but about how Twitter is dealing with alleged deadnaming in this case.
