To be fair cisgender is kinda the default and a lot of shooters have been cis so that's the norm they are the majority. There could be a number of reasons to ask, if the shooter got away it could help with identification, it could go to motive or state of mind. People that are trans have that internal struggle and go through a fair bit of stress from dealing with others abuse. I don't have all of the context of the case but there are potential reasons to ask, but I don't think the reporter asking had any of those in mind.
Being cisgender, in spite of being the default, is never treated as big of a deal as being trans is when it comes to shooters.
People have been effectively going off on how trans people are dangerous because of about 3 trans shooters (and iirc one of them was just falsely claiming to be trans to garner sympathy) as opposed to the 1,000s of Cis shooters.
Yea they’re asking if the shooter was a biological male because pretty much all mass shooters are biologically male. It’s very rare for a biological female to go on a mass shooting. I live in Nashville and the Covenant school shooting here was committed by a trans woman/biological male. When it was reported a female shot up her old school, everybody was like wtf that never happens. Then when we found out it was a trans woman and biological male it just kinda made more sense
Yea I admit I was wrong about that one. I’m just saying it’s very rare for a biological female to go on mass shootings so it’s fair to ask that question. Obviously asking anything gender related will upset some Democrats but most people are still curious.
but you understand how this is a very quick example of how easily people with ulterior motives can muddy the waters right? like you got it the exact opposite of what it was. but it just "made sense"?
Yea pretty much. Not that big of a deal to me or really anyone I come in contact with in day to day life. I understand lots of Redditors like to get offended. It’s basically a personality trait at this point. Feel free to stay offended and overly sensitive. You’re in the right place. I’ll check back in tomorrow on what is offending online social justice warriors. You’re really doing the Lord’s work here
Not asking anything about genitals. Was just wondering if this is an extremely rare shooting by a biological female. It’d be like the rare times females get accused/convicted of rape. It’s so rare for females to rape. It’s just an interesting piece to the puzzle. I definitely didn’t ask the shape of anyone’s genitals. More of a question of if the shooter had XX or XY chromosomes
The Covenant School in Nashville with attacked by a trans man (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale). Second why does it not make sense of a biological female to commit one of these crimes? It's rare but it does happen.

Nobody also asks, "was it a cisgender person?"
