Transphobia and Misinformation Surrounding Nashville Shooting.

TL;DR Summary
Claims of an "incredible rise" in transgender or nonbinary mass shooters are baseless and not supported by data. While specific data on transgender and nonbinary mass shooters can be hard to isolate, available information shows that the overwhelming majority of assailants in mass shootings are cisgender males. The number of mass shootings committed by those identifying as trans or nonbinary is very low relative to the number of mass shootings overall. Trans people are more than four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime.
