"She does identify as transgender"

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. Just heard that...

[Trenzalore]

2. Well unlike most school shootings

Fox will be covering this for months.

[grumpyduck]

3. So what?

What does that have to do with anything? He or she shot six innocent people.

[NutmegYankee]

6. It will be used by the right to further their attacks on transgender people. nt

[Trenzalore]

8. They were doing that anyway

[NutmegYankee]

9. It's going to get way worse.

[Trenzalore]

11. It was going to get worse regardless

White males with toxic straight inclinations commit most mass shootings. We aren't rounding up those folks.

I'll be honest, I don't understand the transgeder issues and most people don't which is why they are being identified as the other by the right because they are an easy target. I empathize and I don't need to understand something to know people have rights. The other side uses fear and will continue to do so.

10. I think it's because there has never been a woman school shooter before

It’s a first I believe.

The Boomtown Rats wrote a song based on it:

21. She wasn't the first female school shooter

eom

20. Lori Dann

[XanaDUer2]

22. I forgot about her

I read a book about that case

[nolabear]

4. Is that what he said?

A trans woman (biologically male I understand and identifies as female?)

Was there an issue with the school or religion over that? I imagine we’ll know soon.

What a nightmare.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

15. It sounds to me like they were a trans man

Bio female, identifies as male. But the news is still pretty sketchy.

[nolabear]

19. I guess it's going to take time.

Sometimes having things quickly means a lot of adjustment as they get straightened out.

[wnylib]

5. Or did identify as transgender. Past tense.

[Ace Rothstein]

17. Well they are dead now so past tense does make sense.

[sarisataka]

7. If that holds true...

Well you know what will happen

[BlackSkimmer]

12. Yes, indeed.

Again, spot on.

[sarisataka]

14. I wish I was wrong

But I'll put money on the narrative being more important than the action.

[Beastly Boy]

16. All mass shooters had guns. One was trans.

That makes figuring out the common denominator so much more difficult!

[tinrobot]

23. Were the guns also "transgender"?

Thought not.

It's the guns, not who shoots them.

[LostOne4Ever]

24. He, as is anyone who takes the life of elementary kids,

Is trash.

Him being a Trans man has nothing to do with it.
