Not gonna lie, the newest step in the ongoing demonisation and scapegoating of trans people -- the reaction to this mass shooting in Nashville -- is deeply, deeply frightening. I'm so glad I don't live in the US but many innocent people do, and they are going to bear the brunt of this witch-hunt. I do not like where this goes.
The wackjobs are going on and on about 4 (1 of them imaginary) mass shootings in the last 2 decades committed by someone who might have been Trans, while they ignore the hundreds committed by not-Trans people.
Hey, you get a big enough sample population, you're gonna get a little bit of everything.
@ScottSoCal I want to teach everyone some basic statistics so badly! 😂
@ScottSoCal (Also I don't think all four were really trans anyway)
No, one of them definitely wasn't, one probably wasn't, the other two I'm not sure, but I don't see how it could possibly offset all the others.
@ScottSoCal Agreed! Actually as a percentage of all mass shootings trans people are still under-represented. (I can't believe that this is an actual conversation people are having)
Reality lapped satire several years ago. Poe's Law has never been more real.
