another trans shooter

Pretty sure there's been a grand total of like... a single trans shooter? As opposed to almost every other which has been... cis white male, who probably watches the programs that claim he was a trans shooter

Pretty sure they tried to do this with the Texas concert shooter too

This has been a common tactic for the right going back as far as there have been mass shootings. They will always claim the shooter is part of some out-group, while simultaneously cheering for mass murder. Then they will bring out """"crime statistics"""" about how black and Latino people are the real mass shooters, so a white shooter doesn't count because reasons.
