ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people
Ian Huntley is dead
They only released the actual files yesterday
UK mainstream media published 6,500 articles about trans people in 2023. It published a similar number in 2025, almost none of which were written by trans people
Reminds me of Hannah Arendt’s description of Adolf Eichmann & others like him becoming “experts” on The Jewish Question in 1930s Germany
No anti-trans articles in the Mail, Telegraph or Times today
‘I bit Trump’s penis after he abused me’ The Daily Telegraph - Saturday7 Mar 2026By Poppy Wood US authorities have released new details of a sexual assault allegation against Donald Trump in the middle of their war on Iran. The trio of interviews was previously flagged as missing from the Epstein files and were released on Thursday night after pressure on the White House. The unidentified woman told FBI agents in 2019, shortly after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on sex-trafficking charges, she had been sexually assaulted by the paedophile and Mr Trump while a teenager in the 1980s. The release outside official publication windows and in the heat of the US conflict with Iran will raise serious questions over the US justice department’s handling of the Epstein scandal. Her central allegation is that Mr Trump hit her after she bit his penis when he attempted to force her to perform oral sex on him, according to FBI summaries of her interviews. The woman’s allegations have not been verified and the FBI never brought charges related to her claims. She alleged that when she was aged between 13 and 15 Epstein drove her to either New York or New Jersey to be “introduced to... Donald Trump”. Mr Trump then put her head “down to his penis”, the woman alleged to the FBI. She said she “bit the s--- out of it”, prompting Mr Trump to lash out, the FBI summary of one interview alleges. Mr Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to allegations against Epstein and there is no evidence in the material released that he took part in the paedophile’s sex-trafficking operation. The small piece sits alongside a much large image of Tourists admiring the spring scenery while being treated to hotpot in a sea of blooming rapeseed flowers in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
