At least seven dead after school shooting in British Columbia

It doesn’t really matter whether trans identified people are over or under represented as perpetrators of mass shootings. Either way, the numbers involved would be too small to have much statistical relevance. What does matter though is that (a) there is accurate reporting, and (b) it’s clear that males are over represented.

These points matter for a number of reasons, but partly so that people can understand the highest risk factors and try to intervene before these horrific events happen. It’s also pretty obvious that a male who starts identifying as a woman (or wearing a dress) is not automatically less of a risk than other men or boys. It’s just gaslighting to suggest otherwise.

I read on BBC that it was the Candian area with the highest gun ownership in Canada.

Canada has lower gun owership than USA and a much lower muder involving guns - but higher than us in UK who have even stricter gun controls.

The pro gun lobby in US keeps on about knife crime in UK - they may not have guns but have knife crime - our knife crime is below their's still.

So don't suppose facts matter much to the pro gun lobby - there never have before.

Why are you spouting this nonsense on two different threads 🙄

Canada is not America. Just like a man isn't a woman.

I am giving that poster an opening to explore why any view which is about women is classed as "anti-trans".

It is rather obvious that if one can label the person or issue "anti-trans" one can lable the person or issue "transphobic" etc

Which is imo why NHS Fife ended up with a head of an ED wanting to call the police on a woman who said she did not want to change her clothing in what should have been the Womens Changing room.

How the senior manager came to believe calling the police was an appropiate reaction is an interesting question on social engineering.

Yes. Still America in every way culturally. The second amendment applies in society.

It was one of them new women you know the ones with c**ks

Canada.

Well its in Canada who have tight gun laws so the pro gun lobby is making merry with this incident of course.

This happened in Canada.

The counts of school shootings in the US per year on wikipedia were just totals, not broken out by sex. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that 99+% were perpetrated by men.

This is absolutely terrible. How many more shootings until America finally realises the second amendment is fucked up?

What was the sex class split between killers in the data you were looking at?

The descriptor is usually factual though isnt it

A white male, 6 foot tall, wearing brown jeans and yellow top, clean shaven

So this would have or should have read, a white male, x foot tall, heavy build, wearing a blue dress, black hair.

Something like that.

Factual

Lets not forget Derby Evening Telegraph who put out an alert for a sex offender prison escapee described as 'woman might be dressed as a man'.

Readers, it WAS a man.

Yes the UK census ran 2 questions which was in part supposed to cover the information gap State agencies has under Equality Act 2010.

The ONS opted for 2 gender identity question on being "trans" the second question asked people to lable themselves.
They were warned in advance that the question was badly worded and would likely produce no usefull information.

This proved to be true and the collected data was downgraded.

The list of lables can even be downloaded and the data is interesting in so far as the staff had to fit them into 4 Gender Identy classes 2 of which have no legal protections under the Equality Act 2010.

‘Trans / anti-trans wars’

Blimey. What a dichotomy?

What ever happened to it being a positive to support female people through feminism and to campaign for female people to have protections and equitable solutions?

instead we get told discussions on whether accurate language describing a male person’s crime is considered a trans / anti -trans war. Good to know.

It's not an accurate description, though.

Because the shooter wasn't a woman.

it a description of the attacker just like when Derick Bird and went on the rampage.

I’d missed that hyperbole as well. Ridiculous.

I've never seen the words 'Man, wearing trousers'...

I missed it too.

Fucking abhorrent.

Oh I missed that!!

Equally reprehensible.

Wow.

I am literally (literal violence and all) on the scale of a mass killer

I never knew?

This is the country which had the State sue (on behalf of a male) multiple women who objected to waxing his balls and something like 40 legal firms would not take the womens money to provide legal representation. The State concluded the it was only because the women did not have the training to wax his ladyballs that he was not discriminated against.
[(Edit) all the women only provided waxing services to women so actively and openly discriminated against men.]

The only reason the local media ran any coverage was that a woman attended the case tweeted and provided the International media with headline stories.

And fyi a "trans man" is a female (the non-bepenised kind of human)

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.

And there we have it, folks... women criticising gender ideology and calling a man a man because they refuse to lie about reality is just as bad as a man committing mass murder.

And they expect us to believe they don't know who the women are.

Agreed, though you would also need to compare the timeline and see if there is an emergent cluster compared to rising rates of trans ID. I am not an expert but I son't think the data is statistically significant yet but still worth keeping an eye on.
