The police were quick to say it wasn’t a hate crime, presumably because they knew who did it. Unfortunately, this angered the TRAs who have insisted that it was motivated by transphobia with no evidence.

I doubt we will find anything out until the trial due to the strict sub judice rules restricting what can be reported, I foresee another trial where lots of twitter users get slapped with contempt charges when they break the rules.

This kid had a lot of social media so the bullying is there for everyone to see.

The fact they have been bullied for years but only transitioned a couple of months ago doesn't line up as it being transphobic bullying.

I almost wonder if it’s a reverse situation: that he transitioned to get OUT of the bullying and put some distance between him and the bullies. He’d probably be heard more too, now that he’d be under a marginalized group.

Yes it definitely seems like a crime of this nature they will want to be very careful with the public opinion mob.
