Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, lived with a romantic partner who os transgender and cooperating with authorities, Utah Governor Spencer Cox has said.

“The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,” Cox said during an appearance on CNN on Sunday. “This partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.”

Ok, so I’m mtf myself, so let’s imagine I’m dating someone and they go off and shoot some fascist asshat who is making my life way worse and I’m… turning them in? And working with police? Idk, most of the Trans people I’ve run into are…. ACAB

      Even if ACAB, once the roommate knows they are an accessory after the fact. Dude was 100% going to be caught so the roommate has to choose between going to prison and $100k. Even without the money, that’s a no-brainier.

      The average person is a follower who will defer to authority when pressed even a little. The average person abhors violence. People turn in their loved ones to please authority and condemn violence all the time, like the shooter’s suspect’s father.

        I mean yeah, like I don’t like the violence of it. I dunno. I just feel like it’s too far. Being trans isn’t fun or a walk in the park. There are certainly no Soros bucks of whatever people claim.

        Then add on that what the GQP spews all the time, it just seems impossible. But you’re right, the reality is I’m just consistently disappointed in this country
