According to evidence there are not more shootings committed by transgender (or nonbinary) people, including in commuting or public transit contexts, compared to cisgender men; such incidents remain very rare and are not increasing disproportionately[1][2][3][4][5][6].
| Group | % of Mass Shooters | Experience as Victims in Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Cisgender Men | ~97-99% [1][3][6] | Lower than gender minorities [9][8] |
| Trans/Nonbinary People | <0.2% [3][6] | Much higher than cisgender peers [9][8] |
| Female Shooters | ~2-3% [6] | Also more likely to be victims than perpetrators [9] |
The data shows gender ambiguous people (trans, nonbinary) are far more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators of shootings or commuting violence[9][8][10], and there is no credible evidence of disproportionately high perpetration rates among these groups[1][2][3][6][4][7][5].
