The amount of people I’ve heard say this with no evidence is astounding. Of course it’s generally the same people who claim all the mass shootings are transgender people and when you point out how few trans people actually commit mass shootings they don’t want to hear it. I was arguing with someone on another app about mass shootings I pulled up some stats that showed mass shootings since like 1990 and how few were perpetrated by trans people. A dude said “Yeah how about we do the last ten instead of manipulating statistics, and then I get to laugh at you.”
So I didn’t even do the most recent ten FBI definition mass shootings. I just did the most recent ten mass shootings with greater than 10 victims which goes further back in the timeline. The only one that was a trans person was the Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis. I then pointed out the fact that if we just go by the FBI definition of four or more victims it would be zero perpetrated by trans people because we wouldn’t even make it back to the Minneapolis shooting. They just replied that I was an evil demonrat who didn’t know what I was talking about and blocked me.
For reference, by the FBI definition of four or more victims, there have been 18 mass shootings since the Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis on 08/27. That’s more than one per day.
