At least seven dead after school shooting in British Columbia

yes, they are being failed by this ideology.

And we are called transphobes for wanting them to have proper mental health support rather than being immediately affirmed.

Make it make sense.

It is tragic that so many people died at the hands of a hate filled shooter.

The amount of hate against transwomen being expressed on this thread is equally reprehensible.

The statistics do not support the claims made here that transgender people are over represented in school shooting perpetrators.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Lol, sorry, but the williams 'institute' is a pro-trans think tank, it is not reliable and has put out 'studies' in the past that they have either had to retract or put out warnings that the data is unreliable. They're an absolute joke!

And no, us LEFT WING FEMINISTS fear men. Males. But you men with your Male Privilege and Toxic Masculinity think you know what we're about, but you don't. You don't listen to us so don't understand it's about male vs female. Not anything else.

There were 473 school shootings in the US 2019 - 2025 (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000%E2%80%93present) ). So far in this thread there's been three, maybe four of those that were perpetrated by trans-identifying people. That's less than 1% of school shootings which even the most innumerate of people wouldn't agree represents "the vast majority".

As for trans-identifying people being "certainly over-represented", there's a range of figures for how many of the US population is trans-identifying but figures of around 1% overall seem common, eg https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/trans-adults-united-states/ although numbers for the age range more likely to shoot up a school tend to be higher. So less than 1% of school shooters are trans-identifying against around 1% of the population identifying as trans. And that, to you, is them being "over-represented", is it?

Keep being scared of what the right-wing grifters tell you to be scared about. Your fears keep them rich.

That is certainly not what the statistics show.

And, per capita of their community, they are certainly over-represented.

The sacred caste of trans is why disturbed, mentally unwell boys/men can’t access proper psychological help when they also decide they are girls. Everything is affirming only, or it’s “conversion therapy”.

Well I think it is disrespectful to the victims NOT to mention that this shooter was a man with a trans identity.

People who want to hide this fact are creating a sacred caste.

Children have been killed FFS.

Again people died. This is stupid. HTH

But that's the thing - the claim that the vast majority of school shootings are perpetrated by trans-identifying people simply isn't the TRUTH. It demonstrably and provably is false, no matter how much agenda-pushing right-wing media might try to make you think otherwise.

<1% of school shootings were done by trans-identifying people. Pretending otherwise and spreading blatant, easily-disproved lies won't change anything or solve anything. Facts don't care about your feelings.

People died and you idiots are arguing over the sex of the shooter 🤦🏻‍♀️ some of you need to get jobs

That is certainly not what the statistics show.

I'm sure though that anyone who got a good look at the shooter knew quite well it wasn't female. Unless they were blinder than Stevie Wonder. So the question is why not say a male with long hair, etc etc?

No. We’re pointing out that adherence to a batshit ideology has made people less safe in the communications during the crisis and trying to stop further tragedies. HTH

Clearly not. The shelter in place warning was an emergency and relied on an accurate description of the shooter to protect the public. And the best description at the time was female, brown hair, wearing a dress. I don’t imagine the priority of the authorities at that point was to verify if the shooter actually was female, when how they presented was the critical factor.

It's hardly an 'agenda' when it's the TRUTH. Sorry the truth is inconvenient to you. But it is what it is. Ignoring it and blaming the messenger won't change anything or solve anything.
