It's entirely possible that the tabloids, knowing what they're like, made up this sensationalist story about proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley.
Then again, it's also entirely possible that proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley was fully intending to fake being 'trans' in order to gain access to a women's prison, but is now frantically backpedalling because someone has had a quiet word and told him he'll never get away with it.
It's also possible that proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley knew it was made-up all along but rather enjoyed letting the story have traction so he could feel as if he was manipulating people from the comfort of his cell.
It doesn't automatically mean that we have to believe the word of proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley. And even if this story about proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley is not true, it doesn't automatically mean every other story about men going 'trans' in order to gain access to women's prisons is fake, much as the woketastic would love to believe it does.
If it is untrue, of course, it does make the wokeadelics on Twitter who rushed to the visible support of proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley ('Her name is Lian, don't deadname her, don't misgender her, wah wah'') look at best misguided and at worst really, really fucking stupid.
Just to check - it's still OK to refer to him as 'proven liar and psychopathic child-killer Ian Huntley' without being pulled up by the MN guidelines, I hope?
I mean, he is a proven liar and psychopathic child-killer, but you never know, these days.
