Female school shooter?

Honestly guys, if any suspects turn out to actually be trans you can rely on 90% of the mainstream press

This really isn't true as you would know if you were in any way informed about this issue @Echobelly

But of course you aren't.

Thank you! I am so grossed out by this phenomenon of the last few years whereby some people insist on immediately 'transvestigating' suspects, often on the flimsiest of grounds.

Honestly guys, if any suspects turn out to actually be trans you can rely on 90% of the mainstream press immediately screaming about it on your behalf so I wouldn't worry about it being 'covered up because of wokeness'

Do people have any idea what a small population trans people make up? The rate this lot report would mean practically every one would be a criminal.

Please keep your kink for trans criminals out of our faces in the meantime.

In this case, a disaffected 15 year old girl radicalised by the far right

There’s only one relevant risk factor driving school shootings: the widespread availability of firearms.

That's a highly important factor. It really isn't the only one.

Disaffection, alienation, social isolation, and bullying by peers are all common factors in school shooters of either sex.

So the distribution of school shooters amongst the population is entirely random is it? Just as likely to be a 70-year-old grandmother with an active membership of the local book club as a disaffected 20-year-old male, is it?

There’s only one relevant risk factor driving school shootings: the widespread availability of firearms.

And it’s pointless trying to understand it or analyse it because nothing will ever be done.

She wasn’t a woman. She was a 15 year old child. It’s not ‘interesting’. It’s a horrible tragedy.

You seem to be the only one who has an issue with this thread and are seeing this in an anti-trans context.

No one has lied about anything on this thread.

No it was to cause fear and incite. I am not responding to this any longer it is shameful.

The context of the opening post is the uncertainty about the sex of the perpetrator, and concerns about reporting crimes committed by men as being committed by women, as most posters have made clear.

That isn't the context of the opening post, please don't expect others to be so blind!

I think the Police knowing all about the shooter, including potential reasons, mental health issues is important. Not sure why you'd disagree.

If you have read the full thread and this is your take I don't know how to help you.

Christ I knew he liked to spin things here but this takes the biscuit.

A young teen murdered children and the first thought is oh how can I bring this to my argument.

Shame! Absolutely shame on ye all. The thread should be removed have respect for the dead.

It is a girl, but this is the crap that the media is causing with it's dishonesty

And do you now understand why accurate and truthful reporting is important?

The media have form in reporting about "women" committing serious crime, only for it to be revealed that it was a man with a recently created transgender identity?

No one trusts the media any more they say "a woman has committed...".

Once more for those who still haven't understood: this isn't about hoping that the shooter is male, it's about being dismayed that we cannot trust the press and police to tell the truth consistently about a violent offender's sex.

Male violence is the biggest human rights crisis on the planet and being able to identify incidents of male violence and the far rarer incidents of female violence is important to be able to analyse and tackle why people commit these appalling crimes.

How?

I am viewing hints that the shooter was a subscriber to a particular ideological position that some are tenuously describing as 'radfem' with a heavy pinch of salt right now. It's clearly radical but I certainly wouldn't describe it as identifiably feminist.

who is now confirmed to have been 15 years old and assigned female at birth

There is no such thing. Sex is not assigned at birth. She appears to be a 15 year old girl without any gender identity issues.

You've just contradicted yourself
