Former title:
Holy Crap! I just found this on Facebook about Chris Harper Mercer and took a screen shot:

Look under the 'About' section. "Chris Harper Mercer is such an hero. He checked Christian white cis privilege today. Bless him." I hope to every God and Goddess this is propaganda and not what this troubled person did this for! Let me be the first to say that the TG community disavows this!

Why is this important-------if true? virgogal Oct 2015 #1

This is important because someone has taken advantage of this violent act icymist Oct 2015 #3

I saw nothing in the OP about transgender,or sexuality. virgogal Oct 2015 #11

It's in reference to the usage of the term cis in the context that this was TG's killing 'straight' icymist Oct 2015 #12

Thanks--will do . virgogal Oct 2015 #13

Facebook just removed the page. icymist Oct 2015 #2

I just found another instance where this tragedy was trying to be framed in social media: icymist Oct 2015 #4

I had to google for what cis means Xipe Totec Oct 2015 #5

Sorry about that. I should mention that cis refers to people who don't have a gender identity crisis icymist Oct 2015 #6

Anyone who has to go out of his way to claim cis, has some serious gender issues Xipe Totec Oct 2015 #7

I understand. It's making something that's supposed to be simple, complicated. icymist Oct 2015 #8

Thanks for the background info. I learned something. Xipe Totec Oct 2015 #9
