The aftermath of the Nashville School shooting made one thing perfectly clear: the woke powers that call the shots in Washington and the mainstream media do not consider what took place on March 27, 2023 at the Covenant School to be a hate crime against Christians.
Almost immediately after the killings, trans activists and their allies co-opted the tragedy to produce the narrative that the killer, Audrey Hale, was the victim of transphobia – perpetrated by people who think like the Christians at the Covenant School. These experiences – according to this narrative – then set the stage for what happened in Nashville.
This angle means that Hale’s actions demand a degree of compassion and understanding because they were the end result of “hate and discrimination.” Being the target of hate and discrimination can seep into a trans person’s psyche and produce rage, mental illness, and (possibly) a reason to attack and kill the “oppressors”. The humane solution to this is simple: Embrace transgender ideology in all its glory, accept children who identify as trans, and see to it that that they are immediately sent to surgeons who stand ready to mutilate their bodies.
Trans surgeries matter!
A recent AOL News headline, “Trans People Face Disinformation After Shooting,” capitalized on a number of lies. The article explains how the killings at the school “have heightened the fears of a community already on edge amid a historic push for more restrictions on trans people’s rights this year…”
This is a lie.
The “anti trans” laws being promoted in some states are those that concern the mutilation of children without the consent of parents, or laws restricting biological men from competing in women’s sports. A few laws might address issues regarding the use of public bathrooms, but generally most of the resistance to trans ideology concerns sports teams and child abuse mutilations without parental consent.
These are common sense restrictions that many gay and lesbian people approve of, although the pressure to conform to ‘party line’ positions manufactured by official gay organizations keeps many gay people from voicing their opposition in public.
The pressure to conform to transgender ideology in the LGBT world is immense. The leftist media pushes the theme hard that ant-trans legislation concerning children is automatically anti-LGBT, and that a person or an organization is vehemently transphobic if they don’t support “gender-affirming” health care for minors (which often includes the genital mutilation.)
The leftist media’s skewed reporting on transgender issues, especially after the Nashville shootings, has caused mental discombobulation among many Democrat progressives.
After the shootings and the identity of the shooter was made known, leftists took to social media to defend drag queens. Suddenly, the real drag queen issue—drag queens reading to children and toddlers—became conflated with drag queens in general, be they drag queens on roller skates entertaining white straight adult women at funky Bingo games, or drag queens performing for adults in a burlesque theater. The “let’s conflate the issue” leftists went one step further and said that conservatives want to eradicate all drag queens from the planet.
“Drag queens have never shot up a school and killed people,” they wrote. No, but a transgender activist did.
A school principle in Florida recently resigned because several parents objected that his Renaissance art lesson for sixth graders showcased a picture of Michelangelo’s David. Apparently, the picture was too advanced for the class – the image was shown to students without the standard warning to parents. Progressives responded by showing satirical images on social media of a “Florida God the Father” handing the first Man, Adam, a pair of briefs to cover up. The briefs might be seen as a parallel to the fig leaf after the commission of the first sin. In this case, the Florida DeSantis haters were onto something.
This Sistine Chapel cartoon recreation sent the message that Florida doesn’t know or understand art, and that Republicans are all about censorship. The Florida jokes got so bad that I had to remind one lefty Facebook commentator that Florida is anything but puritanical, and that in fact if one goes to certain large gay bars in the Fort Lauderdale area, one will plainly see men sitting on barstools and drinking in the buff, a scene you’d never see in woke New York, except perhaps in a private club.
The stupidity of the legacy media, especially AOL News, in reporting news stories like the Nashville massacre was also distressing.
AOL’s headline, “Authorities haven’t shared any evidence linking Audrey Hale’s gender identity to the motive for the attack,” speaks volumes in terms of this news outlet’s Left agenda.
Ms. Hale wrote a manifesto which has not yet been released to the public, despite the standard protocol among police of immediately releasing written statements or manifestos from mass killers. The secrecy surrounding the withholding of Hale’s statement does suggest something related to her transgender status, and why she may have lashed out at a conservative Christian school, the antithesis of woke theology.
If Hale’s manifesto is indeed a rant against so called “enemies” of transgenderism [conservative Christians], publishing it would cast a dark shadow over the world of trans activism by linking it to a killer, and that would run counter to the narrative that all the trans community wants is love, peace, and acceptance.
Camille Paglia, a lesbian activist, author and scholar, has noted that whenever transgenderism becomes dominate in a society that society stands on the brink of collapse. Paglia is speaking as an independent scholar, not as a brainwashed lesbian activist who feels obligated to adhere to policy statements put out by the Human Rights Campaign.
Paglia also suggests that transgenderism has become fashionable among the very young, comparable to wanting to become a beatnik in the 1950s, or a hippie in the 1960s. As a vehicle for rebellion, transgendersim, unlike putting a flower in your hair or smoking weed at a poetry reading, has irreversible consequences.
What Paglia, an atheist, finds incomprehensible is the fact that in wanting to appear accepting, well meaning parents are willing to go along with this dangerous charade and support the butchering of their children, which she classifies as nothing less than child abuse.
One of the aims of the Left is to create division on every level: A transgender psychopath kills Christians and the chessboard is overturned to mean that the killing happened because Christians persecute transgender people, and that the solution to this is to be more transgender-affirming.
How society got to the point where the tiniest of minorities became so powerful that mainstream corporations, institutions, universities and the news media now actively promote the use of pronouns, and view anything slightly critical of the movement as “hateful,” points to what the Catholic visionary and mystic, Father Michele Rodrique of Quebec, calls “the demonic.”
In explaining his concept of the demonic to Catholic podcaster John Henry Westin, Fr. Rodrique mentioned how the “the devil,” as a fallen angel, has no sex or gender, but in order to set the stage for the coming of the anti-Christ, it is necessary to create a generation resembling the devil’s “genderless” state as a first step in assembling a structure or foundation for the coming of the one predicted in scripture.
Whether or not you believe in the esoteric concept of an Anti-Christ, the central point here is that “the genderless structure” being implemented the world over also coincides with Pagila’s view that western society really is teetering on the edge of collapse.

You can always bet that when someone commits a Crime like that the M.S. Media will either Blame Guns the Gun Lobby Gun Stores Gun Owners Etc. and always take the side of the Criminals and ignore their victims unless their showoffs like Hogg and his band of useful idiots from March for Our Lives the M.S. Media is notorious for this

“ parents are willing to go along with this dangerous charade and support the butchering of their children, which she classifies as nothing less than child abuse.”
She is correct it should not be allowed until at least the age of 25 when sexual confusion starts to reduce.
What the world really needs is more homosexuals coming out and telling the world about their personal sexual abuse at the hands of adults.
Then we can return to the age of tolerance rather than the division created by diversity.

There’s an exponentially growing community of LGB no T folks across the world, The LGB Alliance UK was the 1st group and has grown across the globe in pushing back against this depraved insanity. Involving children is a hard line drawn in the sand…. And consistent with the crazy path to bizarre, the LGB Alliance is now considered a “hate” group, heavily targeted by the Ts with UK policy / law consistently weighing in, in favor of the Ts. … who in turn are rewriting history to include themselves in places/ events they’ve never been, & would make no logical sense to have been. Most Pride parades in major US cities, including San Francisco, have been taken over by T leadership… who have likewise redefined the mission of the Pride celebration as centering on them.
This is all too well orchestrated & strategically implemented to be some simple organic development of an “oppressed” people seeking (demanding) rights (that basically advocate for disembodied insanity.
And the underpinnings of violence running common in many platform threads are jaw dropping astounding and of grave concern. Search ‘Peak Trans terf is a slur’…with the serious warning that it’s violent & graphic… its (Monitors please check this reference and delete the last sentence if you deem it too violent/graphic to include. … totally understand… and if nothing else, might provide a new path of journalistic exploration. Thanks.

LGB started the madness decades ago. The 2015 SCUTUS case, Obergefell v. Hodges was the death knell of the institution of marriage. Antonio Gramsci couldn’t have designed a better game plan for the destruction of our republican form of government. Spare us their 9th inning regrets.
Mental Enema says
The push for transgenderism is one of the tools embraced by the Marxists to destabilize society and depopulate society by castrating as many young people they can get their hands on. The destruction of Christianity and Western civilization is the end goal. Is Satan behind it all? Most certainly.
Kasandra says
Excellent column. The “trans community” isn’t under assault. This is just more of the hysterical linguistic ju-jitsu in which the Left routinely engages. Requiring parents to be informed if their children are expressing delusional ideation (e.g., they’ve been born “in the wrong body) or preventing genital mutilation of children is not an “attack” on the “trans community.” It is commonsense policy which are being taken in response to the aggressive, unprecedented and relentless assault on “normalcy” being pushed by that community.

Oh how our cowardice is showing.
The fruit of our worshipping at the altar of man, rotten to the core yet we fill our gullets with it daily.
Lies, lies and more lies.
There are 2 genders.
All else is smoke out of the pit of hell and mirrors… Satan is a beautiful, handsome devil. He loves looking at himself.
Think selfies… in those we imagine we are God. That is the mirror we look into today.
All that smoke we see coming out of homes across America…. that is not from a fireplace. Demons have taken up residence.
Demonic possession…. how else do you describe and make sense of what we are witnessing?
HOW ELSE?

To further point out the lunacy, these leftist cultists deny God but accept s atan whom would not exist if there were no God.
WhiteHunter says
The Left’s snarls and warnings about (non-existent) “transphobia” are an exact parallel to their equally false and insulting threats that “there’d better not be any backlash against Muslims” (which have NEVER happened) after each Muslim terrorist attack (including, idiotically, GW Bush after 9/11, including the one written by Ted Kennedy in the preamble to the PATRIOT Act.
There have NEVER BEEN any such attacks or “backlash” against either of these “communities” here in the U.S., and never will be any; to be sternly warned not to commit them is an insult that I–and many others–are fed up with being threatened with.

america is now reaping what it has sown for over 40 yrs . the harvest is not complete and will continue apace . this is what happens when you replace the sovereign of the universe and his laws and statutes with your own . all nations including the jewish nation have suffered the same fate. look forward to worse . thomas sowell , the elder statesman was correct , stating ” if biden is elected it will be the end of america ” .
Jim says
When jihadis massacre innocent civilians, of course there is a grave threat to Muslims of a backlash which is worse than the massacre by the jihadis. Now transactivists are playing the same game. They never give up, because they want to split and divide society and play straights off against LGBTQ. Trans identity is probably just a fashion or a fad, and not a permanent state of society. It should be tolerated if adults are trans, but not if they try to impose it on children. And it should not be accepted as genetic and related to the genome.
Jim says
I recall the practice of FGM by the great religion of the Near East and how that is condemned by many, at least conservatives in the world. We thought we were superior because that is illegal here. But now we have a different religion, leftism, which is pushing for a very similar practice, perhaps even worse, since it is not limited to one particular organ, but can affect many parts of the body through chemo, drugs, surgery and psychological indoctrination. I think this should be opposed. People who realize how wrong it is should not be cowed by accusations or bigotry, hatred, racism, or any other pejorative concept that the left has on tap. Our Democracy and our journey do not need this sort of trans-genderism, especially taking over female sports and children’s bodies. And the laws should not be forced to conform to trans ideology.
