Of course they're not. They're mostly cis, white, het, boys. Because if they were anything else, the US government would actually be doing something about it. Like you can bet your ass that if they were black, brown or in this case transgender, there would be some ridiculous and drastic measures being put into place.

But unfortunately for the victims... nope. It's cis het white boys. And as we all know, nothing we can do about that! I mean, come on, you know how it is! [Cis het white] boys will be [cis het white] boys, am I right? It's just the way things are. There is nothing or no one in this society that is pushing this very specific demographic into acting with such hatred or distress. Absolutely nothing.

It's also just merely a coincidence that this is the only country in which this consistently happens. It's all just bad luck and there is nothing we can do about bad luck.

Gotta love the whole: We have a mental health issue in this country. Our poor boys are suffering. We need to help people. UwU. but when it's anyone else, all of a sudden it's these drug addicted thugs and, oh my god, don't get me started on these mentally ill degenerates so called trans people!

Without reading the article I know most mass shooters are cis white men.

I’m not as certain about the age breakdown so I stuck with “men.”

Anyone with a brain and no right wing agenda to push knows this.

They come so close to giving actual numbers that they have or actual percentages but somehow avoid doing it

[-] Flamekebab@piefed.social 13 points 9 hours ago

(Imagining that they were for the sake of dark comedy) I'm imagining the US government being horribly conflicted trying to decide between wanting to persecute transgender people and wanting to do as little as possible about mass shootings.

They would love that, because then they can regulate trans people and not guns.

It is the reason for this manufacturered narrative.

Even if they were, it wouldnt be all that odd considering how prosecuted they are. If the government and people directly around me and people in school antagonized me every day, idk if i could stay sane.

*persecuted

The only people saying otherwise are MAGA. All you’re doing by posting articles like this is adding more oxygen to MAGA’s bullshit.

STOP POSTING THESE ARTICLES!!!!!! THEY ARE NOT HELPING TRANS PEOPLE NOR ARE THEY EDUCATING THE PUBLIC!!!!!! ALL THIS DOES IS SPREAD MISINFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure how sharing the truth in the face of right wing lies is "spreading misinformation."

Would you rather right wing lies be propagated unchecked?

[-] KAtieTot 5 points 7 hours ago

To an extent, sometimes dealing with their bullshit is a waste of air. Nazis don't believe anything that they say, unless if it's convenient for them to. Picking and choosing what is worth wasting air on is important.

I may be biased but uh, as a trans I'd rather this specific misinfo be countered, since it's a major step on the "identify transgenderism as a mental illness and commit them" pipeline.

[-] KAtieTot 2 points 7 hours ago

No, I did not notice I was on the transgender community.

[-] MarriedCavelady50@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

This community is for ALL trans topics.

C/trans has a rule that topics cannot be negative news or depressing.

While I agree to the spirit of your comment, I think it's always good to be aware of your enemy's actions.

It would be better if the headline of the article linked were written with that perspective in mind instead of accidentally sane washing maga slander to maintain objectivity.
