Mind you the definitions are completely arbitrary and the data points are often invalid. For example, that timeline only includes attacks that killed at least 3 people even if there were many more attempted and failed attacks, like the one in the OP here. And even among the restrictive definition, we've got the colorado springs shooter who identifies as transgender and uses they/them pronouns (5 killed), the christian school shooter who was transgender targeting cis kids (6 killed), the aberdeen shooter who was black and trans (4 killed). That's
not including the transgender STEM shooter who targeted cis kids, since that was only 1 killed, which excludes it from this arbitrary definition but would be included in anyone's rational list of "what americans consider a terrorist attack / mass shooting" since its a kid walking into a school and trying to mass murder people with a rifle
That timeline's summary includes 3 of those incidents but only lists
1 transgender shooter in 151 incidents. So its actually 3/151, which would be nearly 2% of all shooters, despite covering a 40 year range when trans nonsense didn't even exist, and still only makes up what, 0.6% of the population in very liberal estimates
I imagine any other statistical analysis is going to be similarly flawed, either they're using obviously invalid data or silly definitions

Post the unpadded statistics?
better yet, don't make statistical arguments in the first place
I mean, who decides what the 'unpadded statistics' are? Who decides whether to quantify the colorado springs shooter as cis or transgender, when he self-identifies as transgender but in a delicious fit of irony the trannies want to deny his gender identity and label him cis
