[US][TN] Nashville school shooter identified as Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old TN resident [Audrey Hale]

I'd be shocked if the shooter was actually female, seeing as ~98% of mass shooters are male. If it's a TIM, expect people screeching about not misgendering a murderer and demanding the crime be counted under women's statistics.

But if it really is a TIF, there needs to be a discussion about giving testosterone to women.

Yes, truly - if this turns out to be an actual woman, then her being on testosterone and then going on a shooting spree needs to be discussed. Not covered up, not acted as though it doesn't matter.

I am just as shocked as you. I really thought it was going to be a Tim, but its an Aiden

The Guardian referred to the killer as female. That publication would NEVER deadname, and so I interpret that as a man identifying as a woman. "The shooter was named as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28 and from Nashville" and on a map, "Female shooter shot and killed after an attack at Covenant school".
It's so stupid we have to guess because the media can't be bothered to tell the fucking truth.

It seems the shooter is a female so it's clear, once again, how misogynistic this movement is as obviously it's okay to misgender a TIF, but never a TIM.

I agree about the Guardian, but I think in this scenario it’s a case of miscommunication and misunderstanding. The police chief who gave the statement seems to think that “transgender woman” is the “correct” terminology for a TIF.

The Guardian have then taken his quote at face value.

I think the shooter is most likely a man (a TIM). Here is a story about it. The way it's worded, they say it's a woman, but also transgender. That screams out "man" to me.
