The numbers speak for themselves, 98% of gun violence in the US is done by cisgender men, over 60% of whom are white! Of all the mass shootings that have occurred in the media only 3 of them were by people who identified as transgender and that only in the last few years.

I knew they would try to use the shooter's gender to distract us from the salient fact that there is too much gun violence in this country. They know that the rest of us will spend our energy arguing with the deliberately obtuse about who did it, rather than why it happens and how to stop it.
