Lives lost is nothing compared to money earned through gun lobbyists.

And predictably the Right is trying to make the fact the perp was Trans an issue. Well, the perp was also White and an American. So there have been far more of those than Trans shooters but the right only wants to focus on the demographics they can politicize. Germany and Sweden where are all the mass shooters?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I've seen statements that the "average" mass shooter could have bought a gun the day before and the day after the killing spree without any problems. That's a problem.

Another thing they're trying to blame is Trans Advocacy Groups by  insisting they are promoting terrorism by telling them to be prepared if things go south and that the right wing hates them and wants them gone. Even though there is no evidence the shooter even subscribed to any of that.

[The Architect Of Fate]

According to the right, this is pro-terrorism 

Pointing out that it's a tragedy the perp died  is terrorism 

Pointing out that the perp like most shooters felt the need to lash out for whatever reason is terrorism 

Pointing out hateful rhetoric and hateful laws can have negative effects on people's mental health  is terrorism 

Pointing out the hardships of trans people, especially in terms of mental health is terrorism 

Pointing out right-wing hate is terrorism 

Asking that Pro Nouns be used is terrorism

According To The Right Wing, This Is Terrorism. Because the event has a scary name ...... 

The Trans/Non-Binary/Gender Non-Conforming/Intersex communities are facing astronomical amounts of hate from the world. At least a 100 Gender Affirming care ban bills have been proposed. Utah SB16 has been passed and West Virginia’s HB2007 is heading to the senate. Our community is frightened. Some have been experiencing mental health crisis’ due to the political climate in our country. On 1/31/2023, Donald Trump announced he will punish healthcare providers and promised that “this madness will end.”

So far in 2023, 6 lives have been lost, 2022 we lost over 60 people. Our community has a stigma attached and significantly impacts marginalized communities at a higher intensity. There are members of our own communities that have turned against the true meaning of Pride. The trans/non-binary/gender non-conforming/intersex communities have always existed. “We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We aren’t going anywhere” needs to be echoed loudly.

Like the Stonewall Riots the gays and lesbians were experiencing what the trans community is facing now. This cycle of hate needs to end in fact it must. Allies, siblings we need you now more than ever. “I was a radical revolutionist. I still am a revolutionist…I am glad I was in the Stonewall Riot. I remember when someone threw a Molotov cocktail, I thought, “My god, the revolution is here. The revolution is finally here?” -Sylvia Rivera

Lastly, the right is trying to compare this to the Colorado Shooting. This is hilarious because still think that because the shooter was non-binary it means he isn't rightwing and wasn't influenced by right-wing rhetoric.

They say the guns are the common denominator.

The thing I see as common is all the shooters worship jesusgod

But yeah, drag queens are the danger to children.

It was literally a trans person...

Trans people are not the same as drag queens.

So, your point would be?
