A tragic mass shooting in Minneapolis has reignited America’s culture wars — but instead of focusing on gun reform, many online voices are scapegoating the shooter’s reported transgender identity. In this episode of Hot Air, host Joshua Robert unpacks the facts:

• What actually happened in the Minneapolis church shooting
• Why calling being transgender a mental illness is false (and what the APA and World Health Organization actually say)
• Scientific studies on transgender mental health, stigma, and gender dysphoria
• Statistics proving most mass shooters are cisgender straight men, often white, not trans people
• How gun laws, background check loopholes, and America’s easy access to firearms fuel tragedies

This episode is a deep dive into trans identity, mental health, mass shootings, and U.S. gun violence — separating fact from political distraction. If you’ve seen the headlines, the conspiracy theories, or the hate-filled tweets, this episode will give you the truth — and the bigger picture.

🎧 Listen now to learn why scapegoating trans people after mass shootings is not only wrong, but dangerous — and why the real conversation should be about gun reform.
