There is no evidence that Thomas Crooks was transgender or that he is the person in the image. The image that they are claiming is Crooks originates from a 4chan thread. It's clearly edited to include the TikTok UI as the actual UI includes the avatar, like button etc. https://x.com/Infinite_Jest__/status/1813921818417483786 https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/474414945/shooter-was-a-nafo-trannie https://stock.adobe.com/de/images/tiktok-is-app-to-create-and-share-videos-tik-tok-screen-interface-and-tik-tok-icons-in-social-media-application-music-and-video-app-icons-mockup-application-page-user-interface-ui-ux-vector/347809894 https://meidasnews.com/news/fake-4chan-photo-implying-trump-shooter-was-trans-goes-viral-on-maga-twitter

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1813924264510365974
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
