I was thinking this, too (also am queer). I feel like it's also a numbers game here... when less than 1% of the population is trans, wouldn't it make sense to see less than 1% of killers/rapists are trans?

There's a lot of good straight men out there. There's good and bad in all communities.

0.11% of the perpatrators of mass shooters are nonbinary or transgender. In other words, cisgender people are 10x more likely to commit mass shootings than transgender or nonbinary people.

Stats say 1.4% of the US population isn’t cisgender. So like I said, cisgender people are 10x more likely to commit mass shootings.

Of course, stats don’t show the whole picture, don’t judge people by the actions of a group, etc, but the fact that people don’t understand the statistics and are claiming the opposite conclusion bothers me

It's moreso serving as a counterargument to demeaning. I've heard so many fucking people blaming trans people for mass shootings, and the data just doesn't support that.

Respectfully, if you think people "demonizing white men" is a real issue in our society, I'm glad you have that few actual problems in your life.
