Lots of MAGA people date trans actually. We really don’t know anything concrete about his views or why he did this and people need to accept that.

They were just roommates though.

Most outlets seem to be reporting it’s a romantic relationship but I’m not sure what evidence there is for this, if any.

I'm sure it happens but given the anti trans rhetoric of the right it is more uncommon. Agreed though we just don't know anything reliable yet. I think speculating is fine too as long as it's not framed as anything but speculating

Well, I don’t have direct experience but I’ve heard from some trans women that some conservative men have an obsession with them exactly because it is transgressive. So I’m not sure if it is more or less uncommon.
