How do you know a wingnut is lying? Their lips are moving.
First off, they lie about the number of trans people in the USA:
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON (GUEST): We're afraid or we don't want to talk about this whole trans phenomenon... And this idea that it's 10 percent of the population —
According to the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, trans people make up around 1 percent of Americans over 13 years old.
Over 2.8 million adults (aged 18 and older) and youth (aged 13 to 17) identify as transgender in the United States, or 1.0% of those aged 13 and older.

Second, they lie about hormones:
when you inject drugs and all of these things that we talk about, hormones, these dangerous drugs that usually the left says are too dangerous and physicians are overreaching
Hormones are not dangerous drugs. If they were, Hormone Replacement Therapy would not routinely be prescribed for women during and after menopause.
Traditional HRT typically combines estrogen and progesterone to replicate ovarian hormones.

And third, they lie about trans people committing mass shootings:
And then you look at the percentage of trans shooters in mass shootings.
According to an article at FactCheck.org, "Few Mass Shooters Have Been Transgender" By Ashley Wang:
transgender individuals were responsible for less than 0.1% of mass shootings in the last 12 years, according to the GVA. (It would be less than 0.2% of incidents from 2018 until now.)
Wang goes on to quote James Densley, co-founder and deputy of The Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University:
He said of the 201 mass shooters in the database, “196 (97.5%) are cisgender men,” “4 (2.0%) are cisgender women,” and “1 (0.5%) is a transgender individual.” The term cisgender refers to those whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth.
“For comparison, about 1% of the U.S. population identifies as transgender, meaning transgender perpetrators are underrepresented in the data, not overrepresented,” he wrote, with emphasis. “The overwhelming pattern is clear and consistent: mass shootings are committed almost entirely by men.”
