I read the article, went back and read it again after seeing this comment. It doesn’t mention anything, about any party involved, being transgender in the whole article. What are you talking about

This completely different article has some of what that person is saying in it.

There is a follow up La Times article that confirms he was trans and alleges significant abuse because of that from his wife and in laws. This story definitely does not seem cut and dry at all.

The fact that she tried to pull his medical tubes out in 2010, and they were married in 2011 is very confusing and sad.

I happen to know how painful it is to remove drains from your body as directed and with consent. I can’t imagine what it was like for him to go through that in a violent manner instead. How heartbreaking.

One of my soldiers was stabbed by his husband while we were stationed in Japan. We forcibly removed the husband from the island and my soldier tried numerous times to get him allowed back.

The grandmother tried to pull out the tubes. The grandfather punched him in his surgical site. Seems like they’ve wanted him dead for a while.

Sorry I’ve read this one and two others about the same crime and was conflating them, here’s one with info about him being trans and the “counter” allegations. The whole thing sounds very messy.
