    For all the demonization of trans people that the administration and Governor is doing, the actual investigators and local sheriffs seem to be going out of their way to protect the roommate/partner. Yes, she may be transitioning, but the investigators are definitely portraying her as cooperative and as providing key evidence that will be used in the trial. (Even as the news stories are going out of their way to not use any pronouns at all). Imagine how difficult that was for her.

    I know seedier parts of the Internet will doxx her (if they havent already), hopefully the local sheriff will provide some protection to her in exchange for doing the right thing

      Assuming she’s real and not part of the conspiracy to start the war on the left. The text exchange seemed so weird.

        I think it only seemed weird because every media outlet is bending over backwards to not refer to her as “her” or “him”. It’s “the roommate” all the way through

          The actual text was weird. Words they used. Everything was laid out conveniently. Like a villain in a movie telling the hero his plan.
