I had my suspicions when CNN kept referring to the shooter as ‘they’ and said as much to DH.

Lo and behold, a crossdressing man called ‘Robin’ (formerly Robert) Westman.

Yet out of over 3500 mass shootings in the USA only 5 were committed by trans people. That’s 0.17%.

tje focus on the trans community is utterly warped and crazy . Such is the propaganda of the far right. Imagining focussing on just 0.17% of the population of mass shooters. It defies logic

Also it seems the stat is about the former, but the second part of your post is about the latter. But when were those five? Is it a recent phenomenon that shooters are identifying as trans? Also it seems the study is about school shootings (school mass shootings?), but the second half of your post appears to be about mass shootings generally.

Never mind first language and basic biology, can you count?

Crazytimes41 · 15/09/2025 08:42

Indeed abc the number of trans people in the US percentage wise is greater than the number of shooters.

thank you for making my point

Crazytimes41 · 15/09/2025 08:41

What on earth are you talking about dear?

the vast majority of mass shootings whether they be school or in general are carried out by cis men not trans people.

are you aware of this dear? 😂🤡😂🤡

I guess the most accurate thing would be to look at trans people per head of population of the US and compare it to the number of trans shooters per number of shooters than just using simple numbers which tell you very little.

DeanElderberry · 15/09/2025 08:38

I have limited knowledge of mass shootings because I am lucky enough to live in a country with strict gun controls, but I do know that if when a discussion is about shootings in general and a shooting that killed two people in particular, repeatedly posting statistics about shootings that killed four or more people SCREAMS bad faith argument.

Is that the best you can do dear and avoid answering the question? 😂😂🤡

Is the best you can do is pretend that purposefully setting out to shoot innocent children is in anyway comparable to a gangland shooting?

But only eight school shootings in the last year. Which puts the percentage trans much much higher.

Carbs and alka seltzer are your friends.

Good advice, I think @Crazytimes41 should drink plenty of water too - it helps unclag the brain cells.

Just to point out, the majority of mass shootings in the states are connected to drugs and gangs. Purposefully setting out to shoot innocent children is something completely different.

In the last year there have been eight school shootings (defined as death or injury on a school property or bus within school hours)

Sex categories relate to sexual reproduction.

Plants and animals reproduce in various different ways. Snails are simultaneous hermaphrodites and have both male and female reproductive systems. Clown fish are sequential hermaphrodites.

Humans cannot change sex. Any scientist that tells you a human can change sex is having you on, or is being mealy mouthed and is actually referring to something other than sex.

None of that has anything to do with this thread, which is about accuracy in reporting.

Most posters on this site have limited knowledge of mass shootings because they come for the UK, but we can see that the reason that America has so many mass shootings is access to guns, and most mass shootings are carried out by men. The Minnesota shooter had access to guns and was a man, and there was no reason for media to not report his sex in a straightforward way.

Why do people with male reproductive systems commit so many mass shootings? I don't know, but the statistics make their sex relevant.

I’m glad I could be of help dear 💪

Strong vibes of this.

"Oh thank GOD you're here! Thank you SO much. I've been using these magic boxes for over 20 years without a CLUE what I'm doing. I remember when the demon known as the internet came into my house. you'd have been about 5 back then. I have been keeping the evil at bay with chicken legs and candles. Thank goodness you've arrived.

Back when my job involved working on these machines all day, I just bashed them with my tits and hoped for the best.

I'm not actually sure how I managed to get on here, tbh. I was dusting it one day and all this stuff appeared."

The immortal words of the viper who responded to an “I’m here to help” offer from a young man on a long-ago thread about IT.

Some of them may grow up to be gay. Some who crossdress and continue to do so may be straight or bisexual.,

my point is to day most transvestism is a fetish when almost all stars at a very early age is incorrect misguided and bigoted

Well as they’d have only been 5 out of over 3500 I don’t think so.

it’s no surprise that the Utah authorities are trying to link the latest shooting of Kirk to a trans person.

The far right have a huge anti trans agenda.

When were those five?

What is your explanation for why young boys crossdress well before puberty

Some of them might just grow up to be gay.

The actor Rupert Everett has expressed concerns about parents who seek medical treatment for children who question their gender.

The 57-year-old, who is gay, revealed he wanted to be a girl as he grew up and dressed exclusively as one when he was a child.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jun/19/rupert-everett-dangers-of-child-sex-change-operations-gender

With your assumptions about boys who like to dress as girls and your lauding of Iran as a progressive state, your homophobia is showing.

Rupert Everett warns of dangers of child gender reassignment operations

Actor says children should embrace ‘ambivalence’ of gender but resorting to hormone therapy is a big step

You reckon it's a test run for some reactive AI programmed by a student somewhere?

Maybe 'dear' 😂

I know. They’re not sending the brightest and best are they. I feel vaguely insulted.

Maybe Crazy is a Russian troll bot? 😂
I'd hazard a guess English isn't their first language because of the weird phrasing and liberal uses of 'dear'.

Apart from all the trans/animals changing sex guff, Crazys post reads like a lot of spam emails I get which commonly start with 'hello dear' and then ramble on about redesigning my website.
