conix, As i said many if not most, or all, mass shooting arise from personal anguish or grief, from personal hurt, even if only political. That's a research-based fact. The shooter was a former student. It was a Christian school. Many Christian schools have never been particularly empathetic toward emotions around the problems of gender identity. The shooter is a trans. She could very well have had a personal reason for her shooting arising from many Christians being anti-trans. And there is even a chance that her problem could have started as young as elementary school.
My autogynephilia story

AGP drove my own transsexualism. But in a debate where the condition is simultaneously denied and monstered, it is unsurprisingly also misunderstood. Stock described it as a fetish and suggested that it was likely to be influenced by pornography. While it might exhibit itself in fetishistic behaviour and be fed by porn, my experience of AGP extends back to my earliest memories. If I was not born with this pervading condition, it had gripped me by age three. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171395949
Read yours:
"It was 28. "Bingo. A former student. Quite likely she has copped heaps of the sort of anti-trans crap you serve here." Seriously? You think 15 years ago this school was serving crap? Are you trans, fuagf? No offense, but are you cis? What are your pronouns? Do you have anyone who has been in the trans community that you are in contact with on a daily basis?
So you are going to blame this shooting on anti-trans? Really?"
Possibly 15 years ago some children were suffering bullying in the playground. Possibly even her. It has nothing at all to do with the discussion, but no conix, you dipstick, i am neither trans nor cis. My pronoun is he. No i am not in daily contact with a trans person, though i have met a number and chatted with them. And i have read and posted much here on the subject. Again all personal stuff about me has zip to do with the conversation. And no, i didn't blame this shooting on anti-trans. I just put it out there as one possibility.
Have you ever seen a hooked fish floundering on a wharf or on the bottom of a boat. Reading yours brought a fish named conix to mind. A flounder.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
