Blaming the unnerving prevalence of mass shootings in America on the existence of trans people here isn’t just a dangerously stigmatizing, politically motivated take. It’s also bad math.

Republican and jesus freaks too. Don’t forget the terrorizing these people did during the 90s blowing up abortion clinics & gay bars. People like Eric Rudolph was a christian right winger who hated all liberal values. These people have been terrorizing us for decades & no one cares cuz religion.

Mass shooters are mostly white and almost all are male. Handguns are the most commonly used weapon. Most common locations are workplaces and schools. The age group that kills the most are 20-29 years of age. So, the largest group is young white males with handguns. rockinst.org/gun-violence...

This gets 4 out of 5 pinnocios because most mass shooters only have one gun, not multiple ones!

2. 2 people out of the 100's of mass shootings in the last 20 years identified as trans. Not a common Denominator. U know what is a common denominator? Guns. Guns, apathy, & the reduction of effective gun regulation. Using the deaths of thousands to push right-wing political BS is grotesque.

The only time they recognize that transgender people exist is when they can blame them for something. Otherwise, they'd claim the shooter was male. (Asumming they were m2f)

What are the statistics on bullying? What are the stats on the easy availability of weapons that should never, ever be in hands of civilians?Most importantly, why do folks have such commentary about personal lives,not their own?

I’d say disproportionately white and ignorant. There is no way to broaden your horizons in this country. Too much judgement, too many Karen’s and not enough caring, compassion. I can’t handle the intolerance.

Of course they aren't disproportionately trans. If one looks at those things called facts, this would be clear beyond doubt. What this should do is give every group that doesn't consist of white cis males pause. Don't think garbage like this can't happen to your group.

They don't think we're doing the shootings, they think that we're the cause. In the same way that they think hurricanes and earthquakes are caused by gay sex.
