Gee the christian right are pushing the trans thing with the shooting aren't they?

I suppose they know that trans people are killed a lot more often than they kill in the US? Probably due to christian ideology driven hate crimes.

But crudely analysing the murder rate, on average your kids will be safer with a trans storyteller than a cis one. But conservatives in the US aren't for sitting on their hands after a tragedy when they can be out there spreading false narratives to support their bigotry.

Excellent points. In times of traumatic events, people naturally want quick knee-jerk answers and will focus on the 'other' or what's uncommon when making accusations. Sometimes race, ethnicity, religion, class, mental health &c are blamed. I've not seen, for example, any notes on the problems of Christian charter schools with former students who are willing to murder kids. Whatever the shooter's problems, they were related to her experiences at that school, coupled with the ease with which she could obtain assault weapons.
