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.

On the one hand, YES YES YES.

On the other hand, it's so much more than that. SO many people were painting this as trans motivated violence BEFORE there was even a credible suspect in custody. Literally even before they found out he was dead, there were large numbers of people online saying this was due pro-trans terrorism.

I do not believe any of the rest of those points will mean a thing to the average MAGA conservative, based on my experience. In the most literal sense possible, most absolutely do not understand the difference between a trans person and drag queens. They honestly and fully believe that trans people are perverts patrolling public bathrooms to rape women and children. Trans-men practically do not exist, nor do intersex, nor any other atypical physical, genetic, gender, or sex presentation.
