The Heritage Foundation uses fake statistics to pressure the classification of Trans -terrorism

In the aftermath The Republican policy apparatus was immediately employed by the murder of Charlie Kirk. The Heritage Foundation, which has released the 2025 project, and its Spinoff, the Supervision Project, issued a call for the Federal Research Office to determine “violent extremism inspired by Transgender’s ideology” or TIVE as a group of internal terrorism threats. The pressure comes as President Donald Trump recently signed an executive verdict, which was defined as vaguely defined after mobilizing the federal law enforcement against domestic terrorist networks.

The Heritage Foundation and the Project Project Document, which defines the “Transgender Ideology” as “a belief that is completely or part of the basic science of prenatal, binary and unchanging human sex,” its policy advice in an amazing claim: “All experts are involved.

When Wired demanded the data behind the claim, the monitoring project did not respond. The Heritage Foundation pointed to one of its vice presidents, Roger Severino, claiming that “50 % of the main shootings (non -Gang) since 2015” included a Transgender shooter or motivation. Severino also states what seems to be his entire data set: eight shootings, four of which include “an identifier shooter and/or a transmission motivation.”

Data tell a different story.

Since 2015, at least four tens of shootings have been carried out for school reasons, based on the K-12 school shooting database data, which has tracked any incident that includes a weapon on the school site since 1966. Under the care of gender. Nashville Police concluded that there was no shooter that there is no motivation for clear political or ideological programs, but rather prioritized. In Colorado, researchers say one of the shooters, a Transgender son, cited ancient mental health struggle as motivation.

In a shooting in August, a 23 -year -old man was set on fire outside the Catholic Church in Minneapolis. The shooter has legally changed his name and wrote about the conflict over gender identity, but there is no general evidence that they are constantly recognized as transgender and classify the classification. Police say the attack has fueled hostility to Jews, Christians and minorities along with an attempt to fame. The prosecutors added that the animals were broken and said that the shooter “hated almost any imagined group.”

The K-12 database, the most comprehensive of its kind, since 2015 does not contain gender data for about 12.5 percent of school shooters, which makes it only more difficult to conclude on wider patterns.

Other collective shootings in schools, including Parkland in 2018 and Owald in 2022, were carried out by young men with complaints, abuse or violent ideas. No one was tied to “Transgender Ideology”.

Researchers say the larger pattern is in the opposite direction: the white supermarket, the anti -government, and the false beliefs make up the share of the valve of ideological motivated weapons. They warn, targeting identity with ideology by targeting “Transgender’s ideology” as a terrorism group, permits violence against anyone who opposes gender norms and removes attention from the actual drivers of violence at school.
