    like I’m not even saying the texts inherently must be fabricated, I just have to critique this sentiment on principle

    are we pretending that “Trans-Loving Terrorist Radicalized Into Killing Patriot By Exposure To ‘Transgender Ideology’ Despite Wishes Of Family And Friends And Even Their Deviant Lover” is not a useful narrative for the state to push if it wanted to further marginalize trans people and had the foresight to read as slightly more plausible than “Evil Scheming Transgender Brainwashes Young Man Into Violence For Deviant Trans Purposes.”

    are we pretending that the prerogative of the feds on the outset wasn’t ‘how can we tie this back to transgender’
