I argued then that the media kept forcing simple villains into a complex story. That post still stands. It is 2025 now. The noise is louder, the charts are prettier, and a lot of it is still nonsense. This page puts every claim next to a source, then shows the math with live charts you can inspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First things first: what the government tracks and what it ignores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBI\u2019s Uniform Crime Reports and Active Shooter documents record age, race, and sex of offenders. They do not record gender identity. There is no centralized, official dataset that lists the number of transgender offenders in murders or mass shootings. Because of that gap, any sweeping statistic about \u201chow many trans shooters there are\u201d cannot be verified against federal crime data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonprofits like the Human Rights Campaign and Everytown focus on transgender people as victims. They do not publish national offender rolls. On top of that, police and media misgender suspects and victims in early reporting. That makes identity classification even noisier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line: when a chart claims precise per capita rates for \u201ctrans shooters,\u201d ask for the methodology and raw data. If there is no method note, it is opinion art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Population matters: the trans denominator changed a lot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2015:<\/strong> Williams Institute estimated about <strong>1.4 million adults<\/strong> identified as transgender, around 0.6 percent of adults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2016 meta analysis:<\/strong> roughly <strong>855,000 adults<\/strong> across 2006 to 2016 reported as transgender in surveys.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2025:<\/strong> Williams Institute now estimates about <strong>2.8 million<\/strong> transgender people age 13 and up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Same numerator with a changing denominator will move the per million rate. Five confirmed trans or nonbinary mass shooters since 2013 yields about <strong>3.6 per million<\/strong> using the 2015 adult estimate, and about <strong>1.8 per million<\/strong> using the 2025 estimate. Same five incidents. Different base. This is why cherry-picking population baselines makes viral graphics look dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who actually commits mass shootings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men do. That part is not controversial. Across the best public databases, men account for well over 97 percent of mass shooters. When you drill into race and per capita rates using the stricter \u201cpublic, four or more killed\u201d definition, the picture is steady over decades:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Group<\/th><th>% of US population<\/th><th>% of public mass shooters<\/th><th>Rate per 100,000<\/th><th>Read the note<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>White Americans<\/td><td>58%<\/td><td>53%<\/td><td>0.05<\/td><td>Raw totals are high because the group is large.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Black Americans<\/td><td>13%<\/td><td>21%<\/td><td>0.09<\/td><td>Per capita slightly higher than whites in long-run data.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Latinos<\/td><td>19%<\/td><td>9%<\/td><td>0.03<\/td><td>Lower per capita.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Asians<\/td><td>6%<\/td><td>7%<\/td><td>0.06<\/td><td>Very close to proportional.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025-09-22-01_54_50-Preview-AI-Meta-Content-WP-Trae.png\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the graphical version of this chart<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So the lazy line that \u201ccis white males commit most mass shootings\u201d leaves out the denominator. White men make up a large share of the population. Per capita, long-run data shows Black and white males very similar, with Latinos lower and Asians near proportional. The constant across all groups is sex. It is men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chart: racial rates per 100,000 (1966 to 2024)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/racial-shooting-rates-66-2025-1024x653.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/racial-shooting-rates-66-2025-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/racial-shooting-rates-66-2025-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/racial-shooting-rates-66-2025-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/racial-shooting-rates-66-2025-848x541.png 848w, https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/racial-shooting-rates-66-2025.png 1055w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rates use the stricter public mass shooting definition over the long window.

Using the smaller 2015 population gives a higher per million value. Using the larger 2025 population cuts it roughly in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Known trans or nonbinary mass shooters since 2013<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Snochia Moseley<\/strong> \u2013 Aberdeen, Maryland, 2018. Three killed at a distribution center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alec McKinney<\/strong> \u2013 Highlands Ranch, Colorado, 2019. One killed, eight wounded at STEM School. Trans boy, pled guilty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anderson Lee Aldrich<\/strong> \u2013 Club Q, Colorado Springs, 2022. Five killed. Nonbinary identity claimed in court filings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Audrey Hale<\/strong> \u2013 The Covenant School, Nashville, 2023. Six killed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robin Westman<\/strong> \u2013 Annunciation Catholic School, Minneapolis, 2025. Two children killed, many injured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These cases are documented by fact-checkers who verified identity claims against court and police records. They are tragic, but they are rare relative to the whole universe of mass shootings. <em> It is notable that the FBI does not collect this information, so there is no hard data other than what private individuals find.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Terror motivation and the headlines that follow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideology is not the majority driver, but it is the best headline. A few examples remind people of politics rather than base rates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Islamist inspired:<\/strong> San Bernardino 2015 and Pulse Nightclub 2016.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White nationalist:<\/strong> El Paso Walmart 2019 and Pittsburgh Synagogue 2018.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anti LGBTQ target:<\/strong> Club Q 2022.  (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/colorado-springs-suspect-identifies-nonbinary-uses-pronounces-defense-rcna58499\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the shooter was a patron of the club and identified as non-binary<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every one of these was committed by a man. Different creeds, same constant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Victimization of transgender people is real and documented<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the conversation is about transgender people in crime statistics, the strongest data is about them as victims. HRC tracks fatal violence and finds that when a killer is known, a large fraction are intimate partners, friends, or family. That fraction has ranged from 26 percent to 42 percent in recent annual reports. Black transgender women are hit hardest by the overlap of racism, sexism, and transphobia. Studies show elevated external causes of death for transgender people. Drugs and overdose appear in some cases, but they are not shown as the primary cause of transgender murders in the best available reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the 2017 Disruptarian post concluded, and what still holds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Men commit almost all mass shootings. That is still true.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within white mass shooters, <a href=\"https:\/\/disruptarian.com\/blog\/mass-shootings-past-20-years-usa\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">political lean skewed liberal<\/a>. That finding still appears in case reviews and it cuts against a popular stereotype.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Race mostly tracks population share in long-run public mass shooting data. Black and white males are similar per capita. Latinos are lower. Asians are near proportional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trans shooters exist, but they are single digits in twelve years. The number is tiny relative to the entire dataset.  <em>The population is also very small and represents much less than 1% of the entire population<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Riot violence, including the BLM riots that stretched across several years, is not counted as mass shootings. If you counted all mass political violence, including arson and beatings, the map of harm would change fast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So the story is simpler and more honest than the internet wants it to be. If the goal is fewer massacres, focus on the constants that show up again and again: male offenders, leakage of plans, suicidal crises, and failure to intervene early. Identity memes will not save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a
