Misogyny seems most likely to me.

His “sister” as the media are referring to him was apparently instead just out to his family and I think the also-targeted boyfriend as a transman though hadn’t yet begun medical treatment.

Misogyny might still be a motive (inasmuch as he wasn’t going to accept his former subordinate sibling being capable of becoming a competing, equal testosterone source under his father’s roof), but I’d say transphobia is just as possible.

And that’s if it wasn’t “just’ domestic issues that would have happened either way.
