Same people that sympathize with young white male Nazis.
yes, it’s naked political attack motivated by transphobia more than anything like an actual threat trans people pose as violent extremists:
Rootselaar’s identity has been used to vilify the trans community, though conservative figures were blaming trans people for the tragedy even before a suspect was named. Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Tara Armstrong said in a post that there’s a supposed “epidemic of transgender violence spreading across the West,” while using the opportunity to attack gender-affirming care by falsely claiming “affirming delusions is neglect, not care.”
The U.S. Secret Service Threat Assessment Center’s review of 172 mass attacks from 2016 to 2020 found that 96 percent of perpetrators were cisgender men. The Advocate has previously reported that out of more than 4,600 mass shootings between 2014 and 2024, at most six involved transgender suspects — just 0.128 percent. As trans people account for only one percent of the U.S. population, they are significantly less likely to be mass shooters than the overall population.
Just repeat the lie often enough that people start to believe it, eh?
There is no anti-trans uproar in Canada.
