This is from Scientific American, earlier this month.
What looks likely to have happened in CO (being cautious bc I don't want to get ahead of the facts) is stochastic terrorism. This was predicted. It was inevitable. We have been screaming about this, in the LGBTQ+ community, and this is likely far from end, we'll see more and more, because the anti-trans rhetoric was always leading to this.

The worst of the misleading and inflammatory rhetoric is on the right, but it's not only on the right. It's in the mainstream as well. It's in the New York Times, it's in the Washington Post, and most likely, it's also in your local paper. If you're a journalist, odds are its in your organization, if they cover trans issues as a controversy or a both sides issue. It has killed already, and it will continue killing us.
