Alleged Club Q Shooter Is Non-Binary, Defense Lawyers Claim

Insert “Sad Trombone” sound effect HERE.

In new court filing, public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado gay club that left 5 people dead say that their client is non-binary and that "they use they/them pronouns." The lawyers refer to their client as Mx. Anderson Aldrich. pic.twitter.com/dPaUpiFXKN

Womp-womp.

Possibility exists that this is merely a tactic to get out of “hate crimes” charges. But how do you *prove* that? Doing so would seem to establish a precedent for testability of such things. If “a woman is anyone who claims to be a woman,” then “a non-binary is anyone who claims to be a non-binary,” and the one is as un-arguable as the other.
