The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated. Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

I mean, absolutely worst boyfriend imaginable. I can't imagine a partner doing something like that and then dropping that news on me. It was beyond selfish and disgusting. He not only ruined his own life and took another's, he ruined his partner's life as well. She'll never have a normal life again.

The right are going to paint this as some result of radicalization and the fault of trans people but this was a cis white man and trans people had nothing to do with it. The partner was a helpless bystander in all this and when confronted with the truth, did the right thing and called the police.

You can tell the right believes she's actually a woman because they're blaming her for the actions of a man.

If I were her I would've tried to disappear off the face of the earth. The amount of courage it must've taken to come forward despite knowing what would happen...THAT'S some real shit right there

The correct response was to listen to the shooter. You should never ever talk to the police under any circumstances because they will crucify you. She has a good chance of going to prison as an accomplice by speaking to them. They can either catch her in a lie about something mundane or they can forget or misrepresent questions they asked in court to make her responses look bad.

Here's a great talk from a lawyer and a cop about why you should never ever get interviewed by police: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

Right, she's been doxxed and targeted. She does not have many choices moving forward.

I just hope she was out about her trans status anyway. If that's been outed on top of everything else, that would be excruciatingly painful

I hadn't even considered that. Oof.

tried to disappear off

I think that would've made the situation worse for her. She probably would've been considered an accomplice evading justice.
