“I’m f____ killing that bitch,” Scott McLaughlin bragged. He came back covered in Beverly’s blood. When he led the police to his ex-girlfriend’s body, they found her naked from the chest down with her bra stained red. Scott admitted to stabbing his victim over and over again.
The autopsy found evidence that he may also have strangled her and scratches on her “chest and pubic area”. There was reason to believe that he had raped her.
The vicious murderer had previously served time for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
While dating Beverly Guenther, the murder victim, he had repeatedly assaulted her, and later stalked her, broke into her home and threatened her. Beverly obtained an order of protection against him. A police officer had walked her from her job to her car for a week.
Once feminists would have condemned the system for failing her, instead they’re denouncing it for executing her killer. Scott not only killed a woman, he stole her gender. His prison makeover into Amber, mouth decorated with an uneven slash of rose pink lipstick and hair held back in ringlets, began with an official taxpayer-funded gender transition three years ago. Now that same grotesque serial killer visage stares from pro-crime posters brandished by sympathizers.
“Save Amber,” they beg.
On social media, feminists took selfies wearing pink nail polish to protest Scott’s execution. A number of them gathered in the rain outside waving pink signs, “#ClemencyforAmber.”
According to leftist pro-crime activists, the killer had asked them “to wear pink in solidarity” with him. Women, and a few ‘men’, made sad faces and held up pink fingernails to the camera, demanding that Scott, who is now going by Amber, should be spared the death penalty.
Outside the prison where he was executed, they formed a circle and held up candles.
All it took to get feminists to rally to the defense of a woman’s killer was stealing her pronoun.
Rep. Cori Bush, of the racist Squad, co-signed a letter urging Missouri’s governor to save Beverly’s killer because while raping and stabbing a woman to death, “she was also silently struggling with her identity, grappling with what we now understand is gender dysphoria”.
“Ms. McLaughlin’s cruel execution would mark the state’s first use of the death penalty on a woman since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976,” Rep. Bush claimed, in defense of a man who had cruelly executed an actual woman.
Bethany Mann, the Democrat congressional candidate for the 3rd district, along with the Missouri Democratic LGBTQ Caucus fussed, “we resoundingly reject the violence in executing a member of the LGBTQIA+ community during a time of increased attacks and hateful rhetoric across America.”
Spare a murderer because some states are banning the sexual mutilation of kids.
“Amber is a gentle human,” Elyse Max, an anti-Israel activist who previously denounced the Jewish State’s campaign against Hamas, and now serves as the co-director of Missourians for Alternatives, insisted. “Everyone who knows her knows that Amber is not of future harm.”
Beverly’s former neighbor might disagree.
After Scott/Amber butchered his ex-girlfriend, he called her neighbor and told her, “you’re next.”
Calls to save Scott have come in from the Missouri Democratic LGBTQ Caucus, LGBTQ Commission of Kansas, the Missouri Catholic Conference and assorted pro-crime Democrats.
The media has loudly taken up Scott’s case, branding him the “first transgender woman to be executed in America.” That makes up for Dennis Rader, the BTK killer, Hadden Clark, the cross-dressing cannibal, and Jerry Brudos, who killed and raped four women, some after death, who inspired the fictional transgender serial killer in Silence of the Lambs, never facing justice.
Rader, who killed, among others, an 11-year-old girl, and reportedly inspired the Idaho murders, has been given added privileges in prison for good behavior. Clark, who drank a six-year-old girl’s blood, is at no risk of being executed in California, and Jerry Brudos died on his own.
Scott’s days of hanging around prison and playing dress up are over. Media puff pieces profile Scott’s relationship with James Hickling, another ‘transgender’ man, who was involved in a drug killing, gathering together for “girl talk” and dealing with “rude comments”.
Now the ‘girl talk’ is all done.
“It is extremely unusual for a woman to commit a capital offense, such as a brutal murder, and even more unusual for a woman to, as was the case with McLaughlin, rape and murder a woman,” a Missouri Corrections Department spokeswoman noted.
It’s so unusual because it’s impossible. The only woman in this case is the victim.
Beverly has been ignored by all the leftists who declare a “war on women” every time abortion is in some way restricted, and then go back to celebrating men as the real women. Replacing women in sports has been bad enough, but the abuser displacing an abused woman shows how perverted feminism has become by sexual identity politics and pro-crime activism.
Gov. Michael L. Parson turned down pleas to spare Scott. “McLaughlin’s conviction and sentence remains after multiple, thorough examinations of Missouri law. McLaughlin stalked, raped, and murdered Ms. Guenther. McLaughlin is a violent criminal,” a press release stated.
And the media and activists fumed that the governor hadn’t called him, “Amber”.
“We would expect elected officials across all levels of government to respect a person in life and in death. Using a person’s correct name and pronouns is the very basic level of decency we can show towards each other,” PROMO, a local LGBTQ group, fumed.
The very basic level of decency we can show to each other is to use a killer’s chosen pronouns.
Transgender activists call this “deadnaming”.
But Scott McLaughlin doesn’t have to worry about “deadnaming” anymore. He’s dead.

This is yet another great victory for transgender rights! The glass ceiling has finally been broken!
It might be baby steps, but transgender equality will get there someday, and transgender people will be finally treated equally…
Maybe there should be a holiday? A special calandar day recognized to comemorate the historic event?

Equality–> fry his butt!
Equity–> put him in a jail cell like that of guilty-as-sin cop murderer Mumia Abu Jamal and let him also have his own radio program and access to a computer.
I’m all for equality which now makes me a hater on most college campuses.
Stop the hate? Liberals need to stop hating the truth.

Not raping and butchuring your ex- girlfriend ” is the very basic level of decency we can show towards each other”. Pronoun are irrelivant.

If it’s good enough for the creator of Earth Day, it’s good enough for the first victim of systemic transphobia.
But we’ve left basic decency behind in the rear view mirror.
Might be time for a desperate social U-Turn before it’s too late.

After reading this, I can’t help but wonder if it wouldn’t just be best for Democrats to be subjected to mandatory abortions? But not babies. Beginning in the 54th trimester, should the fetus sign a Democrat party registration card, it’s indicative of there being no cogent viable productive life.
David Mu says
It was especially weird listening to the local news the morning after this murderer was put down. I can’t say that it was, in any other way – news, that this was the first transgender execution. It was justice carried out for the crime of murder, and that’s the actual thing that matters – not any issue with what the guilty thought his ‘gender’ was, and certainly not that truly odd small number of protesters that collected themselves outside.
Being an leftist today is truly a road down Strange and Confused Lane.
Daniel Greenfield says
Identity politics always matters more than anything else.
A killer is just a killer, but a ‘transgender’ killer is big news.
TruthLaser says
Play it, Sam. A killer is just a killer, as life is taken. The trans cult is shocked (a la Inspector Renault) not that justice is violent, but that it is applied with equality rather than equity.

His “conversion” has NOTHING to do with his CRIME and PUNISHMENT! The ONLY issue that needs resolving from cases like this is WHY IT TAKES SO LONG!! WHY does someone who has been overwhelmingly found guilty enjoy decades of life while their victims’ lives ended so quickly!
Daniel Greenfield says
Because the legal system, especially in death penalty cases, is rigged toward criminals and there’s a massive infrastructure of lawfare that comes into play to make executions as difficult as possible.
Here’s a sample of what these battles can look like.
Andrew Cook, the other death row inmate on whose behalf the 11th Circuit intervened, has an even better gimmick. Cook claimed that he couldn’t be lethally injected with pentobarbital without a doctor’s prescription. What should have been a punch line to a joke is an actual tactic that pro-murderer death penalty opponents are using to stop Georgia from killing murderers.
Cook, who can’t be killed without a doctor’s prescription, murdered a young couple by a lakeshore lover’s lane 18 years ago. There is no word on whether he got a doctor’s note before killing Grant Henderson and Michele Cartagena. Cook didn’t know the young couple, he just wanted to see if he could kill someone and get away with it. Now he wants to see if he can get away with murder by demanding that a doctor write a prescription for his lethal injection.
…this is from a decade ago, but little has changed
plusafdotcom says
Daniel, I’m still puzzled about the ‘doctor’s prescription ploy’…
Why not just recruit some junkie off the street and offer them a few hundred dollars to overdose the criminal to be ‘executed’ ?
[half-joking.]
I guess one objection from the capital punishment crowd would be that a narcotic overdose would be momentarily pleasant for the criminal, even though the end result would be the same. Just don’t allow anyone to sneak Narcan into the execution room.
Kasandra says
Who cares if McLaughlin was man, woman, or Martian? He, she, it was a murderer. QED.

A few days ago, someone on the liberal side told me that conservatives who do not approve of transgender people are bigots and prejudiced, they show no compassion. He said there are very many transgender people who have to conceal their true identity for fear of discrimination. The leftists who encourage transgenderism are the true altruists, compassionate and understanding.
Crimes like these show what a lot of nonsense such rhetoric is. The leftists are simply displaying their moral egoism. They are the anointed ones, as Thomas Sowell names them.
Daniel Greenfield says
Leftists need victims to justify their power, their hatred and their refusal to look themselves in the mirror.
The supply of fresh victims is neverending.
The trans movement is just the latest supply to the victimhood market.
STW says
One final grift to try and get his death sentence commuted. Maybe next time.
Maha says
Well, there is so much wrong here it is mind numbing, and perhaps, that’s the reason it continues.
Women, in general, have the most to lose from men who reduce womanhood to a slash of lipstick, or any other trapping to pretend they possess female biology.
Any woman in her right mind would find this offender doubly offensive–for rape and murder, and then for his obvious ploy at pretending gender dysphoria.
Front Page should also end the practice of labelling these men anything but alleged gender dysphorics. There is no “trans”. Trans is a hypothetical construct design to create a category where none exists.
As Jordan Peterson, a behavioral psychologist notes, biologic sex and perceived gender correlate 99.99% of the time. This rise of “gender fluidity” is an engineered campaign to destroy families and any concept of normal in society,

Here’s a standard copy/share file I created …
………………..
“SEX is determined by what’s between your LEGS.
GENDER is determined by what’s between your EARS.”
………………..
I take a sort-of Engineering/Scientific Approach to the issue or question “What is a ‘Woman’?”
One fairly simple, foolproof measure is that, if their genetics indicate “XX Chromosomes,” the individual is a Female (or, if you prefer, ‘Woman.’)
I’ve never heard of ANY possible way to take an individual with XY chromosomes and somehow “convert” or “change” their chromosomes to “XX”.
From that, I conclude and assert that ‘no one can change from ‘male’ to ‘female’ or vice versa. At least, given “today’s” science.
BUT, if either ‘flavor’ of individual ‘human’ chooses, for whatever reasons, to present themselves to the ‘outside world’ as someone displaying the outside or ‘visible’ characteristics of the opposite sex, that is their choice and nobody should deny them the right to do so, whether they also choose anatomical modifications to more closely resemble their chosen or preferred Gender.
That may not be a complete ‘answer,’ but I think it’s a start.

Guy Jones says
Leftists/Dumb-o-crats have been venerating and enabling criminals since at least the 1960’s. This ethos represents a perverse and deeply evil moral sickness in which criminals are alleged to be “victims” of society’s alleged racism, oppression, capitalism, etc., while the criminal’s willful choice to engage in criminality is totally ignored, and, the criminal’s victim is totally ignored and becomes less than an afterthought.

Misogyny noun. Is a hatred of, contempt for,or against women. It is a form of sexism that is used to keep woman at a lower social status than men, thus maintaining the societal roles of patriarchy.
So to fight the patriarchy, they take the most misogynistic men put lipstick and a dress on them pronounce them women. Where they spew the most vile crap at real women, and the feminists clap like trained seal’s for the patriarchy. I think they’re all misogynists.
Guy Jones says
This essay describes an appalling farce belonging to a dystopian hell. How thoroughly and undeniably widespread has been the vile Dumb-o-crats’ cancerous moral and cultural rot throughout the U.S. The Dumbs have empowered and enabled criminal sociopaths for decades, but, this “trans” gloss on that ethos sets a new low in moral depravity, callousness and stupidity.

Before a person could be called, “transgender,” the DNA should match what is being claimed, otherwise, it is just another lie the left is pushing.

Just think a Trans gender male can go into a women’s bathroom where you’re 7 yr. old Grand daughter is. Now that ought to get your blood pressure up. It seems like all these liberals don’t care about children and what happens to them. All they care about is allowing some pervert to live its life fantasy out no matter who it hurts.
Bastet says
There is no outcry of complaint by ‘women’ over the ever increasing take over of things woman related. By and large, at least based on what can be seen publically, ‘women’ seem complacent and disinterested in these usurptions of women’s places. Privately this might be different but publically just crickets. Why are women so cowed? Do they not feel they are worth fighting for? Do women secretly way down deep perhaps feel unworthy? Asking as a woman.
