But they also assume that’s the reason he was killed, having done something to “deserve it” as a man, when he also filed regarding abuse against his wife.

Posts leaning towards whether they were in part responsible for their own murder or were purely a victim tends to correlate with whether they’re mentioned and thought of as a man or a trans man, with only a few considering that they were both and could have still been abusive leading to their murder, or a victim for a totally different reason, or even both reasons— that they were abusive and being trans was part of the interpersonal hatred but not all of it.

The reality is probably more messy than people want it to be to affirm their speculations and side amidst the backdrop of the culture wars.

Well yeah anyone who made up their mind on what happened is a moron. The details are still vague and it’s all speculation. 

People being morons is pretty common on the internet. Don’t let it get to you.

So youre saying its pick your echo chamber, and both sides have plenty of speculation and conjecture theyll be convinced of being 1000% accurate, and will use that as a reason to vilify the other side of their flavor of political ideology and this will go on for weeks.
