Apparently he had a linkdin with he/him pronouns

This may motivate republicans to actually ban and/or more heavily regulate something now—that’d be hormone therapy. 
If a 28 year old can get turned into a mass killer because of this stuff maybe people younger(18-27) shouldn’t have it or no one should.

Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale identified as transgender and had detailed manifesto to attack Christian academy trib.al/LA57peQ

Yes he was a trans guy and I really hope you’re not using that as evidence of him being in a left-wing cult.

But given you’ve defended Kanye(I like Hitler and am a nazi)  West and Andrew(I love raping and sex trafficking) Tate for getting some measure of punishment for being terrible I’m inclined that is the reason.

We Don’t know what the manifesto is actually about yet though.

whether it details a broader political/social animosity to general Christianity or want for a political statement, personal vendetta against the school no one could honestly declare at this point,

Wouldn’t it be nice if the shooter didn’t have easy access to firearms regardless of how how the shooter identified?

Yeah but that may infringe upon white cis-het people’s power fantasies.

Best we could do is use this tragedy to beat up on all trans people.

It's America, you communist heathen. The second amendment guarantees you the easy access to a firearm and as many schools as you can reach, before the police shoots you down. Or just before the police shoots you down, if you are black.

That's freedom, god bless America, thought and prayers and so on and so forth.

Just wanted to save you the trouble of watching the news and waiting for legislative action for the next couple of weeks, and decided to provide you with a condensed version of the debate. It feels kinda repetitive. But that's the gun debate in America for you.

Just to point out -- Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville, which founded this school, is a member of the denomination called the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). This is a separate and mostly Southern denomination from the Presbyterian Church in the USA (PCUSA) which is the largest Presbyterian denomination. The PCA is much more conservative both theologically and socially. It does not ordain women as ministers (which the PCUSA has done since 1956) and would not have GLBTQ affirming policies, while the PCUSA does at the national level (local congregations can of course vary in their acceptance.)

Unfortunately there’s going to be an added layer of transphobia with this debate with all the “criminals would just find a way to get guns others way”

folk declaring that the shooting demand a systematic response to far more heavily constrict and possibly ban HRT.

We'll ban more books, that's the solution!

Thank you for that link.  The point is well made, well considered, and ultimately apolitical.  All laws will have unanticipated blow back.  Because people get creative when new laws are enacted.

Scot I think you’re interpretation is valid but I would also add it’s not just an about of poor hindsight being capitalized on by bad actors post inaction of a law—a lot of times people who understand the consequences still downplay the risks because they honestly don’t care if those risks to actualize or want those outcomes to happen.

For example anecdotally I got into an argument with someone who expressed umbrage with those noting how it could needlessly endanger kids mental wellbeing and safety, crying that it’s wrong to assume that parents would have a negative reaction.

During the course of dialogue they compared queer kids transitioning to mutilation, and drug abuse and asked if conversion therapy wouldn’t be effective what’d be the issue. Also objected to a trans woman reporting on the republicans anti-trans bill being referred to as a mother.

It sounds hyperbolic, but the general republican efforts are to make trans people virtually illegal in public, too miserable to exist in the public sphere, or dead.

If you listed all the policies the Shirley Exception could apply to there are going to be some pretty clear political lines drawn.

There's nothing apolitical about it.

I'd like to blame God for not protecting a Christian school.

Also, "good guy with a gun" fails to show up. Bunch of slackers.

This response angers me so much to this particular situation and I do think liberals have dropped the ball on trans people.

As the right’s rhetoric shifts as it  prepares genocide, the left’s rhetoric just seems stuck from a few years ago not keeping up with the extremity by the opposition.

queer people are going to be in the bullseye of far right chuds looking to protect the children by putting down the “degenerates.

They and their Allies need to be armed and ready.
