I'm slightly sceptical about the testosterone angle, though am open to changing my mind if research shows otherwise. I think the more likely truth is that young women identifying as trans are often mentally troubled with a history of trauma. The same root cause (mental health problems) leads both to the trans identification and the mass shooting. I may be wrong
Of course, but it could very likely end up a perfect storm with both.
(Plus the Swedish study shows that overall transsexual women will not retain the same criminal offending pattern as ordinary women but become more like men in this. There are plenty of depressed ordinary women who do not take on a male offending pattern. What would the differential be here? Testosterone, possibly?)
If you read this extraordinarily lucid account be Helena about her transition (FtM) and detransition, she did have emotional problems before she decided to transition.
But then testosterone, when she began taking it, made her psychotic. This possible side effect was not told to her in advance.

Then there is this from Helena (re: Planned Parenthood and HRT in this context were an organisation willing to supply testosterone to women over 18 on a so called ‘informed consent’ basis.)
^helena on Twitter: "my HRT prescribing planned parenthood clinic did nothing to ensure that i understood why healthy hormonal function is important to my health, and the ramifications of disrupting it (which cross sex HRT does to an extreme degree) let’s look at my “informed” consent document 🧵 https://t.co/WewpDiMJNb"^
Depressed people can become suicidal or violent to others from Prozac too.
