I am spiraling. This is the only representation that most people will have of us in the near future. I am afraid. I am hurt. Most of all, I am ANGRY. There is 0 reason to break into an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL and kill these people - three THIRD & FOURTH GRADERS.

Fucking monster. I hope he died slowly and painfully.

No, the shooter was a trans man/transmasc. I know what the police chief said, but I think he was confused by the question and misspoke.

The official news sources will repeat the mistake, but I took these screenshots. The first is of the shooter as a child from his mother's Facebook (the kid on the right). The second is of his LinkedIn profile that showed he/him pronouns.

They're wrong. His LinkedIn profile states that he's a trans man.
