The mass murderer was a mormon. Homophobia is strongest in repressed homosexuals.

And they are certainly homophobic

But I note that their parents both referred to their son as "he", and this is the first time he has identified as transgender that I can find.

But certainly people who suffer from gender dysphoria who have not transitioned have a higher proportion of mental problems that the population at large, or those people once they transition.

Absolutely not and this is such a damaging myth. It just seems to be a way to push the problem of homophobia onto homosexuals themselves.

The shooter is clearly just attempting to avoid hate crime charges by identifying as non-binary since that doesn't require any kind of transition and anyone can claim the label.

Sounds like the trans are in a gender checkmate, this a smart move by the lawyer. How can he be guilty of a hate crime against a group he is part of, since anyone can identify as anything they want at anytime and nobody can ever question it according to them.

It doesn't look like a defence. If the articles I have read about him using slurs against homosexuals are brought in front of the court, and that convinces the jury that that contributed to his crimes, he'll get 5 times 1-3 years for bias-motivated crime on top of five times life in prison for murder 1.

this a smart move by the lawyer.

It will make no real difference.
