RE: Yes, there were women involved in the Capitol Attack, but this is not one of them.

Why isn't this being talked about? People need to realize that this is a non-partisan issue. Where will this "woman" be placed in prison? Where is this mythical right-wing trans-hate? He seemed pretty well accepted in the right wing circles.

TRAs never claim the perpetrators of crimes, only the victims. It fits in better with their narrative. They'll keep ignoring this dude or say he's "not really trans" if it does become a news story.

I’m having a hard time finding references to Jeremy Watkins on Google tho. Where is the documentation that this is a TIM??

I posted some of the only available evidence so far over on /o/ThisNeverHappens: https://ovarit.com/o/ThisNeverHappens/17893/us-capitol-riot-prosecutors-say-champaign-county-trans-identified-males-training

There isn't much, just a couple of mentions of his previous name being attributed to him by the US Army.

"Watkins, who served the country under a different name"

I see they threw the deadname down the memory hole. Fuck you CNN. This is a man. The different name he served as is his BIRTH name.

They're hiding the truth for fear of "outing him", but what they're effectively doing is preventing people from making up their own mind about him.

...I have been noticing that these dudes r everywhere. Imagine what it will be like in 5, even 10 years from now 🙄🙄

CNN is full woke.

They were early adopters of the "referring to women with dehumanizing language" trend

The Oath Keepers is an extremely patriarchal group, I do not believe for one second that an actual woman would be even allowed in their organization, let alone be a leader.

They seem fine with transwomen though
