No link and no visible handle? How am I supposed to look up this account and see what they’re about? Without that context, there’s little discussion to be had here beyond what’s already been said.
Edit: ah, because the account is protected.

I guess I’ll just say that this shooter could have had the most ideologically aligned motivations possible deriving directly from their oppression and this would still be adventurism. Killing random kids does not accomplish trans liberation. And the reality is that we probably won’t know what his motivations were. Did him being trans play into it? Probably. Should pro-trans organizations be making statements claiming him as aligned with their cause? Absolutely fucking not.

Looks like a neat organization. Don’t like the statement on the shooting, but this other stuff looks well put together
