I'm not sure if I believe this Huntley 'deadnaming' story. If Twitter were taking action about it wouldn't it be all over the right wing media by now?

OrchidInTheSun · 11/06/2018 08:52

There are screenshots Milly

Powergower · 11/06/2018 08:54

Can some explain whats going on?

Twitter taking action against accounts that deadname the Soham child murderer?www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3273220-Twitter-taking-action-against-accounts-that-deadname-the-Soham-child-murderer

There are screenshots Milly

Got a link? Curious to see them.

OrchidInTheSun · 11/06/2018 09:02

There were links on the thread I linked to but the person who did all the reporting has protected their tweets. So I guess no screenshots but I saw the tweets. Someone will have taken some though

LangCleg · 11/06/2018 09:16

The account that did the reporting told another account that it would be reported for "deadnaming" Huntley. The same account then posted a screenshot that the report (for the same account it had said it had reported) had been upheld by Twitter.

MillyTheKid · 11/06/2018 09:18

So was there evidence or just someone saying 'Yes, I got banned for it'? What makes me sceptical is that it's perfect let's create a Twitter storm material and, as I mentioned before, I haven't seen any coverage by any half decent news organisation.

OrchidInTheSun · 11/06/2018 09:20

The person who has now protected their tweets posted screenshots of the posts they'd reported and the bans from twitter.

OrchidInTheSun · 11/06/2018 09:21

I don't JH-B would report on something with no evidence

EmpressOfSpartacus · 11/06/2018 09:22

This is the screenshot I took.

There is the woman herself saying that her account was restricted for the deadnaming.

Why are you so very unwilling to acknowledge this, Milly?

MillyTheKid · 11/06/2018 09:33

My immediate thought on that screenshot is that it is a montage. Taking a quick look at the content of the account mentioned there are any number of reasons why it could have been banned. All you have to do is take a breaking the rules grab (which doesn't say what you've done) put it with the appropriate message and there you go. I'll wait and see. Not going to take this as gospel based on someone's Twitter claim.

TERFragetteCity · 11/06/2018 09:56

Looks like all the TRAs involved have locked down their tweets this morning. Weird huh?

Another lib dem criticising people for dead naming Huntley.
I notice that XYR also claims to be lib dem.

Pratchet · 11/06/2018 10:59

Oh dear

Good grief. I can't believe I'm reading this.

Freespeecher · 11/06/2018 11:56

In another triumph, the Lib Dems make Guido Fawkes by not only criticising those 'dead naming' Ian Huntley but also explicitly saying that transwomen should be placed in women's prisons.

All under the guise of Liberalism but still, the traffic seems very one-way with them right now.

I'm glad guido saw that

The comments under the article are encouraging too.

jgrobinson · 11/06/2018 12:09

The weird thing is that the twitter account Xyrcoups that reported Spygirl for misgendering Mx Huntley was generally considered to be a parody of a transactivist and not the real thing.

MillyTheKid · 11/06/2018 12:10

*There is the woman herself saying that her account was restricted for the deadnaming.

Why are you so very unwilling to acknowledge this, Milly?*

For the same reasons stated before. I don't blindly swallow what someone on Twitter says. It could be true but who knows at the moment?

ToeToToe · 11/06/2018 12:15

Alisdair Calder McGregor - is quite clearly a twat - who cares not whether women are put at risk as long as he can virtuously signal his incredibly uber tolerant liberal credentials.

There's a special place in hell for men like him - who would put a child-killer's "gender identity" above women's safety.

EmpressOfSpartacus · 11/06/2018 12:23

@SpygirlUK, the one who Xyr reported, has quite a lot to say about it. twitter.com/SpygirlUK/with_replies

Theswaggyotter · 11/06/2018 12:32

That is quite astonishing -and this is exactly why self id is such a dangerous idea
