[A]lso after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Heritage Foundation twisted data to claim that “50% of all major (non-gang-related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology.” That was in an effort to get the FBI to create a new domestic terror threat category for “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Extremism.”

How much longer until they decide to just round up the transgender people with the Gestapo ICE? It’s getting scary for transgender people.

      Technicality, women are a minority too. But only by a few percentage points. There’s also minority religions, like the Jews. Pretty much insert anybody targeted by the Nazis.

        If we’re going by US population (or most western countries population) women are not a minority. There are slightly more women than men, about 98 men per 100 women according to the 2024 census.

        Sure it’s a technicality, but you claimed the opposite was a technicality, so I figured it was important to clarify that your technicality is technically false.
