I'm pretty sure that believing you are something you're not fits that definition.
Today's mass shooting in the US

I'm pretty sure that believing you are something you're not fits that definition.
And it wasn't enough. But Americans refuse to address the cause, so they'd rather tinker at the edges of the problem with failed remedies.
A lot of trans people don't have mental health issues. You don't even need to have gender dysphoria to be trans these days, you can just 'opt in' if you feel like it.
Well, you believe you're right all the time?
Incorrect. I've admitted it plenty of times on here when I am. Nice try though!
The "guns don't kill people, people do" thing is a really poor argument though.
Whilst a bill like what you describe may help, many people still just snap or never get treatment for mental illness (so there is never any proof/diagnoses of many mentally ill people).
Considering this, and how the human mind works/human nature, it is far more sensible for people to just not have weapons capable of killing multiple people from a distance and in quick succession.

Locked doors don't really prevent anything, same as locking your house or car up, if someone wants to break in they will. The tweet is pretty disingenuous anyway as it claims something that doesn't appear to be true given the info that's currently available, while also ignoring the 1st skipped school.
Do you think it's a coincidence that the vast majority of American politicians send their children to the very best private schools that unsurprisingly have 24/7 armed security on site?
Uhh they'd be sending them there anyway because they can afford it even ignoring the elitist clique they have going on.
Anyway the reason it's a comment being made is because after the shooting in Texas (several months ago?) part of the pro-gunners argument included 'closed doors', essentially a meme with a counter meme.
I'm pointing out that the schools involved have armed security to stop anyone from getting to the kids, you can bet that they (the politicians) wouldn't be happy if the schools they sent their kids to suddenly decided to stop having that security.
The fact that any school could possibly need armed guards is ridiculous in the first place, it should not be normalised as if the US is some tinpot third world country.
Wtf are you on about?
Tell that to the British schools that need extra security to stop the knife crime epidemic
A bandage for a broken society won't fix it.
That's the point though isn't it, you need to address the root cause such as mental illness or the glamorisation of certain cultural aspects rather than blame the tool itself.
I don't care either way, but given how people who shoot people usually end up falling into the mentally ill category, them also being trans in this case will also come into it, anything to take the light away from the gun problem right?
Chances are those with parents rich enough to send them to said school would be unlikely to actually have people rock up and start throwing rounds around the place, if it is a cultural problem rather than a mental health one?
Maybe we need more knives in schools, and maybe lock the doors..
If they want other people to call them a woman, then yes
Maybe we should just ban knives? oh wait...
