Shooter was a Tiffany, I don't know if it went further than pronoun bullshit though. If she was on T this might be a good case study on why we should put the damn hormones back on the top shelf.

I notice that the media is continuing with the “blah blah identified as transgender” rather than “blah blah was transgender”, are they going to pull a No True Transgender on this, like they do with Islamic terrorists?

Looks like a male identifying as a female to me. No hormones necessary.

There's supposedly a manifesto in this case that I suspect will be quite salacious. If anything it may provide a good retort if anyone wants to play the "what's the worst that could happen if we just let people be themselves" game.

Hmm well if we encourage the schizo to listen to their heart and their heart tells them to go kill people we have a problem eh.

Looks to be a female who identifies as male to me.

Possibly. Details are sketchy at best.

Reading the articles posted I've gotten the distinct impression it's a guy identifying as a chick. But the media may have not bothered to follow the "proper pronoun" protocols

Some weird internet scrubbing is going on. Mysterious LinkdIn edits to pronouns have been spotted

Strange. But has it been confirmed that this is the same person?

You've got to be careful with the initial information buzz of these shootings. Just cause you've found someone's social media profile with the same name and location as the shooter doesn't mean you have found the shooter. You may have just found someone unlucky enough to share their name.

It seems very odd to me that a trans man would use the name Audrey since that's a decidedly female name no?

How based is TN? If you're looking for work maybe pronouns don't give you the same bonus points as in other states.

previously named Aiden, to complete the stereotype (though the stereotype of the "Aiden" is NOT causing incessant drama or indulging in stereotypically-masculine crimes like rape and mass shootings)

I looked at the above link again and it appears that the one without pronouns is not logged in which is probably why it doesn't appear.

You’re absolutely right.
