        Yeah. I get that. Especially his last words. But I’m wondering if this is a reference to his shirt? Or just the whole situation.

              he also freed his wife, it seems

              in some ways, his martyrdom is the best possible outcome for his movement - esp. since in the end it looks like he was killed by someone radicalized in association with trans rights
