Also how does this story help make the shooting more sense? Was there any evidence that the Dayton shooter hated transgender people?

Eh, "anonymous friend" vs "sources with knowledge of the situation" etc we should probably take all of these things with a grain of salt. You are more than welcome to pick and choose what you do and don't want to believe. Since the shooter is dead, we are probably never going to be 100% sure.

As far as relevance, it makes more sense to me that he would have "snapped" based on something like his sister coming out as trans to him than he just hated his sister enough to go to the bar with her, leave her in the bar and come back and shoot the place up with her reportedly being one of the first people shot.
