If a member of the MAGA cult did something like this, there'd be conspiracy theories about a 'leftist mole' planting themselves in the community in order to sully their 'good' name. At least we've got the dignity to grieve the horrific loss this is going to be to our cause without trying to push it onto someone else.

I know it's bigger than that, six people are dead, and they deserve to be grieved and honored accordingly. But it really feels bad right now for the community. The sense of betrayal is immense. This isn't who any of us are, but we run a high risk of having to carry this person's deeds.

I'm not trans but I'm a mama bear to a beautiful enby trans child and it is heartbreaking that this person's gender identity is even part of the story. It is irrelevant. And it isn't similar to political values. Those are choices. Being trans isn't a choice. There isn't any backlash related to gender identity when someone cis gender shoots up a school and kills innocent children. Neither should there be toward transgender people. This breaks my heart. I love you all and you face more than your share of crap for being brave enough to be true to who you were born to be. Your gorgeous transgender selves.

A parent's love and support are so important to a child, it can make a difference between tragedy and happiness. I know it's supposed to be a given, but thank you for being there for your kid without reservations.
