Five people, including a 15-year-old boy, were killed in a mass shooting on Monday
It’s interesting that trans people are much more likely to commit a mass shooting. This is because there are so few trans people, and if you have even one trans person, it skews the data. Point is, trans people aren’t going out committing mass shootings in any significant numbers, and anyone who says so has no idea what insignificant number bias or sample selection bias is.
Much more likely? No, they’re actually less likely or just as likely, depending on how you count a mass shooting.
Of those, “the number of known suspects in mass shootings which are trans is under 10 for the last decade,” which translated to “1:880 [or 0.11%] of the 4,400 shootings” they recorded, he said.
The report examined 173 attacks in the U.S. that “that resulted in harm to three or more individuals in public locations,” Justine Whelan, press secretary for the U.S. Secret Service, told Reuters via email, and “three attackers (2%) were transgender, assigned female at birth, but were known to identify as male at the time of their attacks.”
Reuters reported on studies in mid-2022 that found about 0.5% of U.S. adults identify as transgender, and about 1.3% of 13 to 17-year-olds (here).

Either way, it’s 97% men being the perpetrators. So any man that says it’s trans people needs to look at themselves first.
Depending on how you count a mass shooting, and if you count the person in denver who (allegedly) changed their identity to avoid hate crime charges.
What a garbage person.
This reads like I’m the garbage person, but I know you mean MTG, she’s just deliberately obnoxious and hateful. I hate she has so many supporters.
@Col3814444 yes, I absolutely meant her. For whatever reason KBin adds the mentions in replies automatically and I’m not sure if those need to be there for replies to work or not, so I just leave them.
You can stop it happening in the settings.
God, she’s such a bitch.
Government workers should be charged with perjury when they lie to the public. MTG should go to jail for constantly purposefully lying to the American public.
She 100% deserves to have free speech as long as she’s not doing it in any capacity as a government worker.
