Story summary

Heritage Foundation urged the FBI to classify "Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism" as a domestic terrorism threat.
The move aligns with President Trump's executive order against domestic terror networks.
Heritage's 50% claim is disputed; only three shooters since 2015 have been identified as transgender, and the Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) database lacks gender data for 12.5% of shooters.
