So the Colorado shooter's lawyers have released a statement saying he's nb and right wing trolls are using that to shift the blame away from their stochastic terrorism, as well as a gotcha when we reject the shooter's self-identification for the obvious ploy that it is. "Oh so NOW self a identification doesn't count?"

Here's a vent thread with my thoughts on the issue. 1/4

@alexispurslane I’m with you on all this and I really like your reasoning. The CLOSEST I can get to accepting it as identity is seeing the interviews with the shooter’s father, more concerned that his kid might be LGBTQ than homicidal… Even IF being enby was legit & the shooting was internalized issues, this is STILL motivated by trans/homophobic bullshit, clearly, from any perspective. Just… fucking tired seeing the rhetoric here.
