Felt like a pie chart was in order. Number of mass shooters since 2018: 4197 % of mass shooters since 2018 that were transgender? 0.095% % of mass shooters that were cisgender: 99.905%

On the one hand, I hate to see anyone even dignify their bullshit with a response. On the other, this is the lethal smackdown I knew had to exist, and I appreciate the chart.

I don't know if it didn't exist before, but it exists now, and I'm glad people are finding it useful.

This chart is even more important when you consider that transgender people make up about 1% of the nation's population, but 0.095 percent of the population who commit mass shootings, suggesting that transgender folks are *LESS* likely than cisgender folks to become mass shooters!

Why some people buy in anyways: They already hate trans people and will take any excuse, real or fictional, to attack them. I feel like we need to start pairing fact checks with rationale checks in order to better undermine bigoted and irrational agendas.

I've been somewhat deliberately avoiding news, but has there really been 4 mass shootings in the last 3 days (since the post you quoted to add this chart)???

No, there hasn't. 2193 (cisgender) + 4 (transgender) = 2197.

Thank you!!!! Off to share this chart. Now do it by race, please. I'm expecting similar outrageous numbers for white male shooters vs POC.

a UNDERSCORE k @aunderscorek.bsky.social

Side by side with neo-nazi and O9A shooters? Because the conversation manages to only touch on gender and not actual ideology, lately

The MAGAts don't care. They will allow nothing to get in the way of their hate. Especially not facts.

In average, 1% of ppl in the US identify as transgender. So, the likelihood of a transgender person to become a mass shooter is much lower than general population.

Number of shootings involving high capacity semi-automatic weapons -100%, overwhelmingly obtained through legal means. They’re the good guys until they aren’t. It’s the access to the weapons.
