"The report from the Heritage Foundation and its spin-off organization, the Oversight Project, defines "transgender ideology" as "a belief that wholly or partially rejects fundamental science about human sex being biologically determined before birth, binary, and immutable." The foundation has a history of demonizing trans people."
"Experts estimate that 50% of all major (non-gang related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology."
"However, "the data tell a different story," according to Wired. The K-12 School Shooting Database has tracked four dozen school shootings since 2015, and only three shooters have been "credibly identified in public reporting" as trans or undergoing gender-affirming care, the magazine notes."
The Heritage Foundation and its Oversight Project equate "transgender ideology" with rejection of biological sex as binary and immutable and urge FBI investigation of "Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism." The report asserts that experts estimate half of major non-gang school shootings since 2015 involve that ideology and cites a small dataset presented on social media. Independent data from the K-12 School Shooting Database records roughly four dozen school shootings since 2015 and finds only three shooters credibly identified as trans or receiving gender-affirming care. The independent analysis therefore indicates a substantial mismatch between the report's claim and public data.
