After police said the perpetrator in a March 27 school shooting in Nashville was transgender, some conservative lawmakers and commentators spread claims that trans people are becoming radicalized toward violence. But experts have seen no sign of that.
Sophia Moskalenko, a social psychologist and radicalization researcher, shared her definition of the term from her book,." It defines radicalization as"a process by which individuals, groups or large publics become increasingly accepting of violence for a cause. Terrorism is an endpoint; radicalization is the road that leads to that end point."
"When you have this kind of coordinated, concerted campaign against a community, the community becomes insular, their vulnerabilities spike, and that's not when they turn to violence," she added."The violence is going to be against them. It’s very unlikely the violence will be perpetrated by them." Jessica Emami, an adjunct professorial lecturer of sociology at American University, said many recent mass shootings have been perpetrated by lone actors, rather than organized groups. She warned against generalizing the actions of one person to a whole group.
