The article claims the perpetrator was trans. They conveniently left out that they detransitioned and fell into nazi and fascist ideology.

I figured some inconvenient truths were found about the shooter, which is why no one seems to want to run stories about it

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've seen more stories today about this single ex trans person than all other shooters combined this year.

It's being covered a lot right now.

The venn diagram of mass shooters is like 95% overlap with nazi ideology and the mass media is like "how about we just cover the 5% that makes conservatives feel upset"

So guess they should also ban all white cis males from owning guns too? I mesn after all those types have done a lot of school shootings.

'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

Other countries have figured this out. I don’t see why America has to be different.

Have you been to Florida?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’m de facto banned from Florida on account of being trans.

Ah. Well, it explains a few things. (Florida does, that is. To your question.)
