Are Trans People Actually a Public Safety Threat | Alabama UnfilteredIn Episode 6, Jason Will examines a recent 1819 News article that uses a single tragic mass shooting to suggest a broader pattern of violence tied to transgender individuals.This episode asks a critical question: Is there data supporting that claim, or is this fear-based framing?📌 We break down:— Why one incident does not establish a statistical trend— What FBI crime data and The Violence Project actually show about mass shooters— The difference between reporting facts and creating narratives— How medical consensus from major organizations is misrepresented in political rhetoric— The constitutional implications of targeting a specific class of people under the First and Fourteenth AmendmentsThe data shows that transgender people are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators, and broad claims of a “growing trend” are not supported by evidence.This episode is not about partisan politics.It’s about accuracy, constitutional principles, and responsible journalism.🎧 Listen +.
