Is the Trans shooter in Nashville Male or Female?

No. Female. Vagina, ovaries, the whole thing.

Other way around.

She is male. Not a radicalised female, but a male who thinks he's a girl

What is also horrifying is that the instances of shootings are rapidly increasing with each decade.

Coming back to the thread after making similar points upthread.

Bbc have updated ongoing reporting with these stats:

Bbc quote:
Last year, America's National Institute of Justice released data on mass shootings across the United States over the last 50 years. Here's a quick look at some of its findings:
• People who committed a mass shooting had experienced personal trauma before opening fire. The data shows that, almost always, the shooter was in "a state of crisis at the time" and most leaked their plans beforehand.
• Half of the shootings studied happened after 2000, with over a third since 2010.
• The numbers show that most people used a handgun to commit a mass shooting (77.2%) whilst 25.1% used an assault-style rifle.
• Looking at the data, we can see that 77% of people who committed a mass shooting in America bought their at least some of their guns legally
• The database covers 172 people involved in a mass shooting. Almost 98% of them were male, with the youngest aged 11 and the oldest 70.
The Congressional Research Service defines a public mass shooting as “a multiple homicide incident in which four or more victims are murdered with firearms, not including the shooter(s)within one event, and [where] at least some of the murders occurred in a public location or locations in close geographical proximity".

"Eradicate the deviants"

Honestly, they are exhausting. How do they live like this.

No Rose. We want the rights in the Equality Act upheld. All this fear and hyperbole.

😂 Pot and kettle spring to mind…

It is 'dangerous extremism' to talk about the nashville shooter, is it?

We're being monitored again! I didn't know I was keeping company with dangerous extremists, are you all doing something extra and leaving me out or did I just miss a tussle over some tunnocks?

TRAs are rushing to if not justify, at least rationalise the shooting. https://twitter.com/EliErlick/status/1640746970519162882?t=Jn8GD_RKHbaJ8xQ3Nlopyg&s=19

Thanks for clarifying.

Apologies that wasn't meant personally, the you was a more general one.

The point in this particular case is that we have had a shooting at a conservative Christian school where it would be fair to say trans values were not high on the agenda in a state where trans issues are of contemporary importance legislatively. The perpetrator of this heinous act identifies as male and there is evidence to suggest that there may be trans related grievance in her manifesto. It may be disingenuous to say there is not a link.

I am saying that exploration of radicalisation should not be prohibited for the sake of general society. I think the Guardian article deflects by stating the vast majority of mass shootings are perpetrated by males which although true should not in itself stifle debate on this

You may find posters rude but it seems the stakes in this debate are high

I agree with all of this, I just think this thread is much gentler in tone than they generally are when it comes to male violence and I think the suggested 'contributing factors' are, so far, looking pretty similar to the reasons behind mass shootings perpetrated by males; neurodiversity, poor mental health, a sense of not belonging, etc.

Obviously it really doesn't need pointing out that most autistic, mentally unwell women are not killing children. That takes a certain type of personality, I think.

Except that that was categorically not what I was saying.

I wasn’t painting anything as anything. Simply posting a link to the legislation amendment as it had been mentioned upthread and it was mentioned in a news report. Thought it was relevant that’s all - wasn’t posting in support of anything. Am I not making myself clear or something because this is the second time in the last few minutes I’ve been jumped on and chewed out for something I haven’t said.

I think this is justification to as fully as possible look at any potential reasoning to mitigate the possibility of recurrence. If the shooter had been radicalised do we need to look at the source of radicalisation in much the same way we would look at incel sites or culture if this led to crime?

This.

Well said.

Is that you Owen?

@missyounot

The problem lies with the fact that if the manifesto written by the perpetrator contains grievance linked to trans rights then there is an argument that these killings could be viewed as a 'hate' crime themselves of an utterly horrible magnitude.

I think this is justification to as fully as possible look at any potential reasoning to mitigate the possibility of recurrence. If the shooter had been radicalised do we need to look at the source of radicalisation in much the same way we would look at incel sites or culture if this led to crime?

And disingenuous.

How very patronising.

⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

Gosh you are rude. And you are coming across as extraordinarily ignorant - and transphobic. It must be painful to be you!

Firstly, trans people are not all the same and I cannot believe I had to explain that to you. And secondly, you cannot possibly know what anyone else thinks, only what they tell you.

Quite what you contribute to the world beyond hate is difficult to imagine.
