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.

i pointed out that trans people account for well below 1% of mass shootings. When I pointed this out. No response.

What percentage of the population is trans?

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.

No dear if it was all scientists and medics would shred with you. But they to not.

in some countries they are recognised medically and by law as people of the opposite sex.

That is a fact ,

That would be Iran, where gay men are offered a choice of surgery and reduced civic rights or death. Choosing not-death doesn't turn them into women.

What is your first language?

Nelly - it seems you don’t like facts.

I pointed out that many transvestites start dressing at a v early age. Is this a fetish too? No reply from the transphobes.

im ousting facts. I’m not sure why you think im agitated. It’s you who seems to get angry dear.

I responded. I am interested to know whether there has been a change in the proportion of trans shooters during the (nine year) period your stat covered?

It wasn't an opinion. It was a statement of scientific fact.

So if mumsnet is a “known location for transphobes”. Is this poster admitting to being a transphobe? I think he is. Otherwise he’d be on Reddit with those on TRSOH

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

@Crazytimes41 Whether humans can change sex with hormones is up for debate. Many animals can change sex and the main driver in this is hormonal changes.

No mammals can change sex. Experiments to see whether it was possible would have to start in utero, immediately after conception, since the foetus has already experienced the differential effects of its chromosomal make-up by birth. That would seem of limited utility outside a science fiction set up where one sex was being eliminated by something and the species was in danger of extinction.

Poor little mice getting used by mad scientists.

This poster seems very desperate for attention. Maybe we are the closest things to friends he has. @Crazytimes41 hafe you thought it’s maybe your tone that makes people not want to interact with you. Have you tried smiling more and being kind?

Laws don't change biological reality. That's why we are in this mess, people who think words or laws can change reality. We need fewer lawyers in politics and more (actual) scientists.

I mean you’ve gotta admire his lack of time wasting. Most posters of his ilk take at least 10 posts before they start with the insults. He must have read that book about effective habits. Bless his heart.

Crazytimes41 · 15/09/2025 07:21

Retired from home- if you look at the stats carefully the number of trans shooters percentage wise should be <1% as the figure is well below one percent.

please look at your actual stats and figures again

In some countries they kill gay people and women have no rights. What’s your point?

Good luck with the - humans can change sex argument if you end up in court on a sex by deception charge. I’m sure the judge will be totally convinced.

Did you read the link you are citing? Is so perhaps you missed this bit?

The Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University studied mass shootings that it defined as shootings in public places that resulted in four fatalities excluding the shooter. Its analysis found that males were the perpetrators in 98% of the shootings, female shooters accounted for 2% of the attacks and transgender people accounted for less than 1%. (The Minneapolis incident would not qualify as a mass shooting under Hamline’s definition.)
