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.

I've not seen anyone from the Christian right pushing anything

Just normal people noticing that violent rhetoric leads to people being radicalised to violent actions.

Why be decisive?

They're burning books, they're denying best practise medical care to people with gender dysphoria, and women who are pregnant.

They're removing protections from discrimination for against gays and lesbians. They're trying to turn the US into a Christian country, despite the constitution.
