4. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

Most mass shooters are cis straight white males with right wing social histories. Nothing is ever made of that fact by the media.

But every now and then a mass shooter is different from the standard in some way that is insignificant to the fact that they're an effing mass murderer - and the right wing noise machine can be counted on to make it sound like this is the first mass murder in years and it was perpetrated by a person who might be trans! Gasp and golly gee.

Meanwhile the rest of the mass murders are ignored.
