While research does not suggest that testosterone levels are a causal link, they do suggest that changes in testosterone levels, especially when associated with high stress, lead to an increase in impulsive behavior and criminal behavior.
I would not jump to any conclusions, because mass shooters are displaying vanishingly rare (in the scale of the population) aberrant behavior. That said, not for a moment do I think that giving suicidal people huge doses of male hormones is a good idea. Not for men, and not for women either. I am sure that there is a link; Just like high testosterone women (mostly lesbians) are the most violent within relationships.
A mass shooting like this one isn't impulsive. She likely stewed on the idea for years, if not for most of her life.

Yeah, that's the problem. Those stats are probably good for analyzing the general pattern of violence across society, but something as abberant as a mass shooting may not follow that pattern. Honestly, looking at photographs of school shooters, 'High Testosterone' is not a thought that comes to mind. Honestly, it's the opposite, and shootings like this have risen over the same period that average testosterone levels have fallen.
Perhaps there's a certain level of low testosterone that's problematic - high enough for increased violent thought, too low for impulsive action, resulting in a years long, excruciatingly slow buildup of violent ideation until an explosive tipping point is reached. 'It's always the quiet ones', after all.
Or perhaps its autism. Which these days is absolutely linked to troonery, especially in women.
While you are correct, I suspect that you are deliberately missing the point.
