possible that the messages could still be a deflection by the shooter
Doesn't matter. If he says he's trans then he is - that's trans-ideology's own rubric and they must be held to it.
Even if it turns out the shooter was far right and purposely did it to frame trans ideology just keep including him in the list of trans violence and calling him a trans shooter. Make them have to say out loud, "well ackshually just because somebody says they're trans doesn't mean they are". They won't see the hypocrisy, but others will.
