Assuming the narrative being presented is true, I'm personally fairly comfortable calling this guy a chaser as a trans woman myself.

Doing this shit for these reasons is a clear and obvious demonstration of a lack of any consideration for his girlfriend's actual happiness and desires, under this narrative he clearly seems far more concerned about the concept/object of her than the actual material reality of her - otherwise he wouldn't've gotten her involved in all this highly dangerous bullshit.

Again, assuming these texts and all are real, this feels gross and objectifying to me in the same way people trying to kill people to impress/gain the approval of celebrities is gross and objectifying, just with a different context.

Are the men who engage in acts of violence without caring for the feelings of their cis girlfriends chasers too? Were the people who you specifically mention, the people who engage in public acts of violence to win the approval of a celebrity chasers? If the motivations here are similar and the acts are similar, it is unnecessary to make the further assumption that its a murder based on the fetishisation of trans women based sinply on the partner in question being trans. Especially when such is the direct rhetoric employed by fascists gearing up for a crackdown on trans people.

I am specifically calling out the intense objectification required to do something like this, which does occasionally end up directed towards cis women, yes, not that it is equivalent to a chaser relationship as the power dynamic there is quite different.

The fascists are unfortunately going to accelerate the crackdown regardless because of this adventurist moron. Me calling it how I see it privately to my friends and on an obscure, irrelevant internet communist forum isn't going to move the needle on that anyway.

Again, the only difference here is that the person the violence is dedicated to is trans. You are looking at a situation and assuming based solely on the girlfriend being trans that it must be a chaser motivated by his fetishisation of trans women to kill and you are doing so in the middle of the right trying to create a narrative of exactly that. You are doing so in spite of people also presenting evidence the relationship began pre transition.

I can't stop you from saying whatever you want, you can theorise that he did it because he's a herald of galactus, but I am not going to accept the twin narratives of trans induced killer violence used to justify transphobia and the idea that the only possible motivation to be in a relationship with a trans person is to be a chaser.

Do remember I repeatedly said 'assuming the narrative being presented is true'. I don't really have the skepticism about the reality of these texts everyone else seems to - personally the way he texts in this document seems perfectly normal, I know a bunch of people who text like that including myself - but I'm not entirely uncritically accepting the government narrative here.

Probably 95% of cis men who get into relationships with trans women are chasers, bluntly, it's far more likely than not when it comes to men seeking trans women. I haven't seen that evidence suggesting the relationship started before transition, though, that would definitely suggest I am more likely to be incorrect.

Whether the texts are true or not does not mean we have to accept the narrative of trans induced murder based simply on the existence of a trans person in the story. I have no problem accepting the texts as being true, it literally changes nothing. So far we have a guy who dedicated a murder to his girlfriend, maybe, an FBI who is flailing trying to connect this to the existence of trans people, and people accepting that not merely what facts presented by the FBI are true but tbat the narrative they wish to portray is also accurate. The right wants this to be about the existence of trans people, and i see no need to accept that narrative. Especially not when in the process we must make the assumption that all boyfriends of trans girls are chasers inherently because no other reason for a relationship could exist. And you can believe that if you want, but I personally think we need to leave that shit on /tttt/.

I've never stepped on /tttt/ in my life, dipshit. My opinion on cis men in relationships with trans women is entirely based on my own experience and those of every single trans woman I have ever fucking met.

Don't talk down to me like I don't know the experiences of myself and my sisters, he/fucking/him. What I'm saying wouldn't seem so incomprehensible to you if actually had any understanding of what life is like for trans women under this dogshit patriarchy.
