There seems to be confusion about whether the TN shooter was MtM or FtM since they keep using the name "Audrey," but som

Yeah, I was put into a Catholic school for a number of years against my wishes.
I grew up in an anti gun household and these public gun shootings never happened at the rate they do now.
So I really doubt I would have picked up a gun and gone back to any of them shooting.
Maybe just stood outside with a bullhorn yelling obscenities at them?
Probably would have just written them an angry letter.
So in this case a few libs will pick on the semantics of her gender and what to call her.
While on the Cons side they will pick on the semantics of not calling the guns she used as assault rifles.
While neither side cares about the real cause and how to end them.
They are not looking at the bigger picture of the real concern here and how to prevent the next one.

Yeah, and there were some immediately calling the shooting a "false flag."
I'm not sure why they're calling it a "day of vengeance." One search result from 2018 says it's not a real thing, but there are articles about it from this year. If it's real, the timing is odd with the shooting today.
This article is from today (this is just an excerpt):
LGBTQ advocates are taking to the streets to protest the coordinated legislative attacks on transgender people nationwide after successfully beating back bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth in West Virginia and Wyoming.
Trans activists have organized demonstrations at capitol buildings across the country and are currently coordinating protests for Trans Day of Visibility on March 31 and Trans Day of Vengeance on April 1. Activists have planned rallies at the state capitol of Georgia, which recently became the 10th state to ban gender-affirming care; Tucson, Arizona; the Missouri state capitol; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; New York City; and the Kansas state capitol, among others.
“We are here and we will not allow ourselves to be erased,” Trans Radical Activist Network, a group organizing a Washington, D.C. rally to stop trans genocide, wrote in a tweet.

Children should wait until they are adults before making any damaging and permanent changes to their bodies.
And if there need to be laws to force this then so be it.
Let them think about what they are doing after they turn 18 or 21.
Have them go through normal puberty of their birth gender and give them time to think about making such a radical change.
I dunno why there are these adults that want to encourage and damage the kids like this.
Maybe they don't want to feel so alone.
I can't help but feel like there is some kind of manipulation going on and it is wrong.

Did you hear about this story:
An ex-transgender 17-year-old girl is urging states across the U.S. to make it more difficult for minors to undergo hormone therapy and surgery, arguing that children and teens should not be able to make such life-altering decisions.
Chloe Cole identified as male from age 13 to 16 and even was allowed to undergo hormone therapy and have her breasts removed. But today, she regrets her decision and now identifies as her biological gender.
"Children cannot consent," she told California legislators last month during public testimony on SB 107, which would make the state a "safe haven" for minors seeking transgender procedures. Cole spoke out against the bill.
Cole also appeared at a Florida public hearing in support of a state rule that prohibits Medicaid funds being used for a minor's transition.
Medical professionals, she told the California committee, are essentially rubber-stamping requests by minors.
"My parents took me to a therapist who affirmed my male identity," Cole said. "And the therapist did not care about causality or encourage me to learn to be comfortable in my body. He brushed off my parents' concerns about the efficacy of hormones, puberty blockers and surgeries."
The therapist told her parents that Cole might commit suicide if they didn't move forward. Her parents reluctantly agreed.
"My endocrinologist, after two or three appointments, put me on puberty blockers and injectable testosterone," she said. "At age 15, I asked to remove my breasts. My therapist continued to affirm my transition. I attended a top surgery class that was filled with around 12 girls. … Most were my age or younger. None of us were going to be men – we were fleeing from the uncomfortable feeling of becoming women."
Cole says she was "unknowingly physically cutting off my true self from my body, irreversibly and painfully."
"Our trans identities were not questioned. I went through with the [top] surgery. Despite having therapists and attending the top surgery class, I really didn't understand all the ramifications of any of the medical decisions I was making," Cole told California legislators. "I wasn't capable of understanding, and it was downplayed consistently. My parents, on the other hand, were pressured to continue my so-called gender journey with a suicide threat."
Cole, at the young age of 17, is now facing life-long consequences from a time in her life she regrets.
"I will never be able to breastfeed a child," she said. "I have blood clots in my urine. I am unable to fully empty my bladder. I do not yet know if I am capable of carrying a child to full term. In fact, even the doctors who put me on puberty blockers and testosterone do not know."
States, she said, need "safeguards in place, so my story is not repeated." -

My point exactly.
It also shows how Drs. are butchers and quacks just looking to make a buck on naive teens.
It is acceptable because it comes from health professionals whose opinions are respected and listened to because of who they are.
That is of course not right and they should be questioned.
If I cut off my stuff and ran around with a bleeding crotch yelling, "I am now a woman, hear me roar!!" I would be put away into a padded room because it was not a Dr. who did that instead.
Just because they are Drs. does not always mean they are right or always doing the right things.

The first Tweet above also had an ad for "Trans Day of Vengeance" on April 1st.
On April 1st? In other words, they were just fooling.
