I agree and I think that’s a very valid point. For the kind of statement made by the OP, it should get a warning just because of how it was stated in GQ. A question like that can very easily be taken as trolling, so it should be phrased in a way to make clear it is a genuine question relevant to the discussion. This kind of post in GQ, in and of itself, should garner a warning:
The obvious assumption is that it’s meant as a threadjack. If the question is being asked earnestly, then there should be more context around it to avoid that very reasonable mis-assumption. If the OP had included some stats about many mass shooters were cis- versus trans- gendered, the question might be more relevant. I thought it was trolling when I first saw it, and the convoluted explanations being offered up now are just confirming what I initially thought. I’m really glad this side discussion ended up here rather than derailing the original thread. Especially in GQ, if someone can’t phrase their questions in a way to avoid these kinds of derailing arguments, they really need to reconsider what they post.
