Good news! Roughly 1% of US people surveyed in 2025 voluntarily identified themselves as transgender, and since a great many in the US would be too scared to reveal this info about themselves, the number may be substantially higher. But let's work with 1%.

So it would seem like cisgender folk are at least ~10x as likely as trans folk to do mass shootings :)

Do I think that being cisgender predisposes you to mass shootings? No, obviously. But the narrative being imposed in media is that being transgender does do so.

    @Gladaed@feddit.org it would appear our instance is defederated from yours, so I'm unable to reply directly - no parade being rained on, you're 100% correct and I'm quite aware of the issues with small sample sizes and small populations having wild variance.

    Just an insight into my thought process, I left out discussion of any rigorous statistical analysis as I didn't think it was necessary to get into the weeds to retort the "unless trans people are significantly greater than 0.1% then this chart isn't a flex" statement, which read to me as dismissive of the ongoing media narrative around transgender folk at best, and transphobic at worst.
