rightwingers including @[email protected] have been spreading misinformation that the shooter in texas was a trans woman, using random photos they pulled from reddit. the person in the photos is currently posting on reddit in apparent horror that her photos were used in this way.

@[email protected] cw: transphobia

the person he quoted deleted their tweet. gosar has not.

don't want to spread her image even further in connection with this but if you see a photo of a woman in a red long-sleeved coca cola shirt and black miniskirt, that's the falsely identified reddit poster in the screenshots.
there's also been a photo going around of a person with bangs drinking out of a green glass bottle. the person in the photo has since tweeted that the photo is of them, and not of the shooter (who was killed)
people (reportedly 4channers) have apparently just been grabbing random photos of trans women they think look remotely like the photos of the shooter they've apparently been able to find (or think they've found, who knows), and using them to claim the shooter was trans.
gosar has finally deleted his tweet, after leaving it up for around two hours

i'm sure his fellow members of congress will hold him accountable for it 🙄

@molly0xfff Clearly he wanted to prove some radical, Trump-inspired, alt-right point.

Instead he just proved he’s a pathetic asshole.

@molly0xfff Thanks, I needed a laugh today.
@molly0xfff what the actual fuck is wrong with people?
@molly0xfff excuse me, what the fuck did you just say? I want to say im surprised but you said 4chan and that unfortunately explained it all.
