    There’s a huge difference between “I wish someone was dead” and “we need to kill some people”.

      Well, considering the astonishing number of mass shootings by trans people lately, I would say that distinction is quickly becoming lost on both sides.

        Yeah. 0.11% of shootings perpetrated by Trans people is so astonishing. Meanwhile, the 54% carried put by white Christian males we can just ignore, right?

          Questionable numbers. Questionable take. See, it’s easy to know who the angry trans kids are, because they announce themselves shortly before going on a shooting spree. White Christian males… like Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris? What you think anyone who is white and goes shooting is a devout Christian? That’s how brainwashed you are?

            You may want to look in the mirror with that brainwashed comment.

        There’s been an astonishing number of mass shootings by trans people lately?

        I know Marjorie Taylor Greene was trying to claim that the mass shooting that happened in Philly recently was done by a trans person, but that was proven incorrect.

        Similarly for the recent Nashville shooting, there’s been no actual proof that the shooter was trans, just more conservatives saying that without anything to back it up. Almost like they have an agenda they are trying to push rather than actually caring what is true and what isn’t true before announcing it to the country.

        Are there more recent incidents than these two that don’t even seem to have been committed by a trans person?
