After a shooter opened fire in an Iowa high school on Thursday, some on
social media have claimed that the perpetrator, Dylan Butler, was
transgender.

One sixth-grade student was killed in the incident, which took place at
around 7:30 a.m. local time, before classes had even begun at Perry High
School, Iowa. A further three students and one school administrator were
injured. The shooter, 17-year-old Butler, was found dead at the scene from
a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The gender identity of Butler has not yet been established, but some
right-wing figures have taken to social media to say that Butler
identified as transgender, although no solid evidence can prove the claim,
as well as that transgender people are more likely to commit acts of
violence. It adds to a number of incidents in which similar claims have
spread quickly across the internet.

Right-wing blogger Ian Miles Cheong posted on X, formerly Twitter, that
Butler had posted on trans Reddit forums under the username
"Dylanpickle1996."

Other right-wing activists and pundits have weighed in on the incident.
Donald Trump Jr. posted on X: "Per capita is there a more violent group of
people anywhere in the world than radicalized trans activists??? Given the
tiny fraction of the population that they make up it doesn't seem like
anyone else even comes close." He did not supply evidence to back up his
claim.

The anti-LGBTQ+ Libs of TikTok social media account posted on X the
supposed identification of the shooter, claiming they were gender fluid.
The account posted a screengrab of a TikTok post that was allegedly
reposted by Butler. The image shows red graffiti writing that reads: "Love
your trans kids."

The account published the images with the caption: "This is the trans
genderfluid te*ror*st who shot up a school in Iowa today. Trans extremists
are a serious threat. The media will bury this."

Another user, Collin Rugg, posted screenshots from social media accounts
allegedly linked to Butler. In an image of the perpetrators supposed
Instagram account, the pronouns are listed as "he/they." In another TikTok
account that Rugg says belongs to Butler, the hashtag "#genderfluid" is
used.

Newsweek has been unable to independently verify any of the claims.

Newsweek hasn't looked for any either.

Newsweek and much of the MSM like to say things like "There is no
evidence..." while at the same time doing nothing to find evidence. We
see this with the Hunter Biden situation. Newsweek and the MSM attack
conservatives for their impeachment inquiry suggesting that because there
is no evidence there should be no investigation knowing full well that the
purpose of the inquiry is to see if evidence exists. But the MSM doesn't
want the investigation because when that happens their narrative is put at
risk. Maybe some day, outlets like Newsweek will actually seek the truth
agnostic of narrative
