Its what happens when you make your ideology your identity. Carlin had a pretty good skit about it. The woke mind virus infects the weak.

Its so vastly disproportionate at this rate I'm pretty sure they eclipse muslims on a terrorist-attack-per-capita basis if not on terrorism-death-toll-per-capita basis where hajjis will never see 9/11 bested. But I think it might be reasonable to say that transgender people are the single most dangerous significant demographic, I mean unless we're carving lines like 'felons'

"right wingers are so obsessed with trans people and they're only a tiny percent of the population. ummmmm but also its actually a way bigger percent they just dont feel safe to transition. and ummmm also the large number of shootings coming from a small percent of people is transphobic to point out. and being trans isn't a mental illness, read a book. whats that you say, even if we dont count gender dysmorphia as a mental illness the vast majority of trans people have an accompanying mental illness? that just because of society. if society accepted trans people they'd all live super happy lives because the lived state of being born in the wrong body totally isnt a big deal if society just accepts you. bigot".

This is anecdotal evidence. When you are looking to magnify trans shootings, this is what you get.

Any statistics I've searched shows they are slightly less likely to commit violent crime than the average male.

No need to "magnify" trans shootings if there have been 3 of them in the past 8 days...
Could you post this research you're referencing? Would be interesting to take a closer look into it.

Until then, just three quick thoughts:
1.: "Violent crime" is not the same as "killing sprees". I can easily imagine straight cis males with their "toxic masculinity" being involved in more brawls and such than dudes identifying as, and trying to behave like, a woman.
2.: Crime statistics in the United States are dominated in just about all violent categories by gang members - and those surely don't identify as trans.
3.: It was only in recent years that woke ideology caused society to cater to and affirm everybody's delusions and made it outright fashionable to identify as trans in certain social circles. This will undoubtedly have added a lot of persons who are just generally confused and/or unstable to the "trans" category which wouldn't have fallen into this bin 10 or 15 years ago. I suspect that trans shooters disproportionately come from this group, rather than persons who were stable and confident in their trans identity from a young age.

Most research today is done by people that operate within highly politicized bubbles. You're not going to call a spade a spade because if you do so, and it's not the PC aligned dogma shared within the university (where many of such studies would be done) you potentially lose access to funding and black ball yourself and could become unemployable. So there is an inherent bias.

One of the many reasons why institutions have lost so much credibility. Normal folks like you and i can look at all of these incidents and link them to personal life experiences and see there is a clear thread between mental illness-trans-violence but you wont have much success in convincing ideological people that fall back on carefully curated statistics to deny reality.

How does the current pace of violent trans incidents / terrorism / mass shootings compare to the height of the black panthers or weather underground or anti-abortion crusaders, historically?
There were 25 bombings from 1970 to 1975 but the only 3 people killed were 3 tankies blowing themselves up by mistake. 11 murders in anti-abortion attacks in a 22 year span, it was like 2 in a year in a few incidents but otherwise very sparse
We've already had mass shootings, school shootings, an ambush on police, a political assassination and more in the past year alone, plus a bunch of of lower level arson / assaults / etc

I'd say its hotter right now than those other comparable fringe groups historically

There have been 5700 mass shootings in the United states sincee 2013 and you guys are looking at a handful of shooters.

Far less than 1% of those have been trans.

How else would you deflect from the real issue in North America. Mental health decline, zero capacity to deal with it, excessive amounts of fire arms I have in public hands.

Mental health and poor parenting is not an issue that's likley to decrease, until things get better in those respective areas I suspect we continue to see these events unfold. Especially in the ultra polarized state we appear to be in.

Do I think Trans people are likely to have mental health issues, almost certainly, is that just part of a significantly bigger issue, yes, its just part of the greater mental health decline which is the real elephant in the room no one is tackling.

Turns out the hockey shooter was an 09A trans neo nazi, so guess both sides take a point?
