Female mass shooters are extremely rare.
Audrey Hale’s massacre of children and teachers at the Covenant church school in Nashville, Tennessee, makes her one of only three female mass rampage killers in America.
But Audrey had wanted to be a man. Audrey Elizabeth Hale changed her name to Aiden, cut her hair short, covered it with a red cap, put on camo pants and began killing children.
“Unsex me here and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood,” a maddened Lady Macbeth rants. Audrey had unsexed herself to carry out the kind of rampage that traditionally only a man would have been ready to conduct. The multiple weapons, the manifesto, and the facility plans reflect the kind of attacks that young male mass shooters have carried out in the past. Audrey could never change her ‘sex’, but like Lady Macbeth she could commit traditionally male crimes by using cruelty to ‘unsex’ herself. Much like men who pretend to be women become insulting caricatures, all high heels, lipstick and shrill giggles, Audrey’s Lady Macbeth became a horrifying caricature of a man, brutal, violent and insane.
The majority of Audrey’s six victims were women and little girls. That is likely no coincidence.
Hating her own sex, Audrey set out to destroy women and girls as she had destroyed her own femininity. Transgender serial killers like Douglas/Donna Perry, Jeffrey Gorton and Hadden Clark have often targeted women and girls, but Audrey was not a man who wanted to be a woman. She was a woman who had been taught to hate being a woman with the same ultimate results written in blood on the carpeted floors of a church school until it was ended by real men.
Women and little girls died in Nashville because a woman had been taught to hate being a girl.
It’s unclear what medications Audrey might have taken, but the use of testosterone by women to suppress their biology for transgender purposes has been found in studies to cause aggression. (Expect these studies to disappear, be condemned or withdrawn after the Nashville shooting on account of being politically inconvenient.)
One of the transgender uses of testosterone by women is to eliminate their menstrual cycles. A disturbing result in one study found that women “whose menstrual bleeding continued despite hormone treatment were more likely to feel and express anger in an uncontrolled way.” The pursuit of a masculine identity is not about a journey toward, but an escape from femininity.
Unable to become Aiden and no longer the Audrey she remembered, the latest casualty of the transgender movement may have lashed out at the women and girls who reminded her of what she was and was not.
We don’t know all the details of Audrey’s descent into madness, but suicidal ideation among people who suffer from transgender ideation can be over 80% and as many as half reportedly attempt suicide. Audrey’s messages show that she was trying to kill herself. That’s what many mass shooters set out to do. It’s impossible to detach Audrey’s crimes from the suicide rates caused by transgender ideation. And the role of “gender-affirming care” in propping them up.
Rather than treating the underlying mental problems and root causes, the rise of “gender affirming care” has focused on enabling the destructive delusions of those like Audrey.
The transgender pandemic has spread among teenage girls through social media, through identity politics virtue signaling and aggressive advertising campaigns from plastic surgeons. Audrey, with her artistic interests, would have fit the profile for the sort of teenage girl who might have felt depressed and socially isolated while turning to online communities as an outlet. Changing her gender would have initially seemed like a solution to her problems, but like any form of self-medication, would have just created new problems without resolving the old ones.
The transgender movement is just another leftist cause that radicalizes new members. New recruits are quickly indoctrinated to believe that their family members are the enemy and that the larger society wants to ‘genocide’ them. On April 1st, a “Trans Day of Vengeance” will be held outside the Supreme Court to stop what it calls “trans genocide”. The Trans Resistance Network in Massachusetts issued a statement arguing that Audrey felt she had no “had no other effective way to be seen than to lash out by taking the life of others” and that life for “transgender people is very difficult” due to “anti-trans legislation” and “right wing personalities”.
Had Audrey participated in transgender activism, she would have very quickly been taught to see most normal people as the enemy. Did this hatred running through the transgender movement play a role in Audrey’s killing spree at a church school in Nashville?
It’s unknown what “gender-affirming care” Audrey was getting, but all of society has become one great “gender-affirming care” machine that celebrates transgenderism and punishes deviation. It is impossible to be within range of society and not receive messages affirming destructive psychological problems of the kind that Audrey has decided to express by trying and failing to become a man. Audrey was in some way a victim of “gender-affirming care”. So were the dead.
School shootings often lie at the intersection of mental illness, including depression, among young people, combined with heavy doses of medication that influence the brain, and toxic internet subcultures that encourage extremism and violence. Audrey was likely affected by all three. And yet, unlike most school shooters, the internet subculture that likely drove her further into dysfunction and violence is one that is supported by corporations and governments.
Biden recently claimed that Florida’s efforts to protect children from “gender-affirming care” were “close to sinful”. At the Covenant School, Biden’s sin ended in death.
C’mon man she wore a red cap.
Therefore she’s a MAGA white supremacist,
That is exactly his and other bleeding heart leftist Democrats mental tought perversion that he actually pulls off to be some intelligent expert .This is just insane but the left is as brain damaged as that shooter.
RIP for the innocent,vulnerable victims of Trans rage.
I believe that Trans ,as is the case with the LGBQT+ community, is more a biological construct than a social construct.Most males born effeminate were not socialized, homed, schooled or raised as girls,or to be girls,especially historically.Today.in our cancel culture liberal western society,who knows,and certainly that community is more accepted, even encouraged,in our rush to embrace inclusiveness,for good and/or bad.
We may judge social constructs,but what use for judging biological constructs? The biology of sex is complex,and the genes responsible for gender,identity,etc are not fully determined.Research on the topic is limited,and problematic,given the blow-back from various groups with an agenda,ie LGBQT, evangelical, Islamic communities, etc, that might be expected,even at the academic level.
If this mass shooter was a frustrated male, (the Pronoun here always confuses me,sorry),than appropriate surgery may have prevented this homicidal rage. I don’t know.
She was a woman who claimed to be a man.
I know the language about transgender issues is confusing, but I try to be clear in my writing.
You are, Daniel.
I still have to consult my knowledgeable daughter about what “Pronoun” to use,and it is not willful ignorance or forgetfulness on my part. Age and a lifetime of experiences is a reasonable excuse for such lapses.
It’s easy. If the person was born a female, you use “she, her”
If the person was born a male, you use “him him”
There are very very few cases where a person is born neither XX or XY but as a rule of thumb if the person has a Y chromosome he is a male
Fighting against biology only leads to mental illness and mass shootings
In this case the pronouns are was/were
If I read you correctly, you believe trans-sexualism (gender dysphoria) and LGBTQ+ (all sexual expressions / attractions other than heterosexual) are “biological rather than a social “constructs.” Why do you believe this while simultaneously admitting the lack of information available to confirm the genetic basis for “gender, identity, etc.”? Upon what do you base your belief?
Additionally, why attribute male effeminacy to poor socialization (as opposed to genetics)?
I gave birth to identical twin boys. One was decidedly more classically masculine in his manner than the other. Both were raised in the same home. Both are decidedly and unconfusedly male, but maintain the distinctive mannerisms expressed from birth.
the only “appropriate surgery” for this crazy female would have been to excise her from society on the grounds of her being far too dangerous to continue to allow her to freely roam about in public without a qualified custodian.
I distinctly remember reading that her own Mother had expressed concerns that her daughter was a high risk of violence against innocents. THAT went unheeded. for SOME reason.
I would like to know if she was medicated and taking male hormones. Also, what her family knew or suspected. Leave it to Brandon to make a stupid comment about gun control and ice cream.
Testosterone?
It was a guy thing. Her erection forced her to do it.
Ted Bundy proffered the same alibi with more credibility.
Thanks Sid. Testosterone was my first reaction.
“her erectiuon”?
But she was FEMALE and thus had no male member to become erect.
I know all this trans madness is difficult to follow. This creature as born female.
Half a century ago our states began closing public nervous hospitals.
Now the inmates are our neighbors and staff our governments.
For the most part,these “back wards” held conveniently neglected,mentally ill men and women.The closing of these problematic wards was not well thought out. These patients often became neglected,street/rooming house people,. out-of-sight vs unsightly. Follow-up is challenging,and medication is only one aspect of successful treatment plans.
Let me take a minute, here, or a paragraph,to say that while at times I am disgusted by the hate speech and hateful agenda sometimes posted on FPM by Zionists or Christian Zionists,etc,I do appreciate that this site has not embraced our cancel culture.While as in conflicts,ie War, there are Red Lines,that demand a powerful response,censure and restrictions of Free expression ,short of violence, should be a last resort.Our cherished Freedoms came at the cost of our young men and women on battlefields and on the streets,over time and place,and we have a duty to ourselves and our future children to preserve these freedoms,even at the cost of hurt feelings and resentments of various communities with a narrative and agenda,,contemporary and historically.
So,and hoping I don’t choke on my one-time tribute to FPM, “Thank you, FPM”, for your stand on Free Expression,regardless.
Two down thumbs? To show disapproval of free speech?
No, 4 thumbs down for his Zionism comment, which is by now an old trick: we love Jews, we just hate Zionism (Israel).
Taylor: What use is debate if we cannot agree on definitions of words,ie zionism, antisemitism, anti-zionism? We use words to express ideas,and if and when in doubt,consult any commonly used,authoritative dictionary. To be fair,here,you might want to exclude the Zionist Dictionary,Revised Ed. Just sayin’.
Exactly right. But I have no idea what you mean by “zionism.”
If I look up that word, it means support for the recognition of the ancient land of Israel as a Jewish land. I cannot imagine failing to acknowledge this truth. Israel is indisputably Jewish in every way.
And Israel, for all its flawed humanity, is a deeply good. To desire the destruction of it or its people is unmitigated evil.
I am disgusted by the hate speech and hateful agenda sometimes posted on FPM by Zionists or Christian Zionists,etc
Go fuck yourself. Don’t post here if you dont like.
Too bad people don’t use their freedom to do their homework, study history,
analyze other views, or examine their own ideologies for bias and deception.
Just too fossilized in false ideologies that promote fake feelings of superiority.
Boomer, you are right to be disgusted by speech that is hateful, unless the object of your hatred is evil or morally reprehensible. Then you have an obligation to hate.
I get the sense you are putting your toe in the water here, and so I want to encourage you. You will find all types here. It is not necessary that you have any emotional investment in what anyone thinks of you unless that person knows you and is invested in you. If this is hard for you, then use this as a “safe space” to practice. Who cares what someone says about you who knows nothing of you?
There are many people commenting here with breadth of knowledge and insight. Discover these people and let them expand your own mind and heart. Do not be afraid to comment and learn and grow from it. We all have to eat crow sometimes, and it is nice to do that in private.
Ta, KH. Not putting my toes in the water,here,more like being up to my neck in it! It never hurts to be challenged,regardless of experience or belief.
“Gender affirming care” is a cruel hoax perpetrated by rabid, leftist ideologues and abetted by well-meaning, but delusional, secular humanists. Its advocates would have us believe that these three, benign-sounding words are objectionable only to heartless, transphobic, religious bigots. With each passing day, however, the general public is awaking to their Orwellian reality. People have noticed the shocking contrast between the historic practice of traditional, “first do no harm” medicine and the barbaric methods of sexual mutilation and sterilizing hormone therapy employed by gender-affirming practitioners. They have noticed something else. They have noticed how detached from empirical evidence, and how thoroughly politicized, mercenary and corrupt the mental health profession has become during the past several decades. In this regard, they have noticed that disciples of the Marquis de Sade-Josef Mengele-Margaret Sanger School of Woke Psychiatry lack the ethics, wisdom and honesty to admit that their practices more closely resemble criminal child abuse than humane medical care.
A good rule of thumb is that the kinder the euphemism, the more horrific the reality
Useful,for sure,but room must always be made for exceptions to the rule.Rules of thumb lose their value when dogmatic.,
If it was “gender affirming” it would consist of talk therapy to explore the reason why the patient felt that he or she was the victim of a screw-up on some cosmic assembly line who is in the “wrong” body and provide guidance on dealing with that delusion.
I want to see more academic studies,including genetic,anthropology,evolution,cross cultural,etc across time and place,before I commit to an informed decision. To date,that is lacking.Academic studies may be problematic,given the various communities and their agendas.
What you write above is insightful and correct. But why are these conflicts occurring?
I think, at core, it is religious. I became convinced of this after listening to James Lindsey give a presentation at the “Mere Simulacrity” conference hosted by Sovereign Nations. James Lindsey is an atheist who is friends with the president of Sovereign Nations, Michael O’Fallon, who is devoutly Christian. Their collaboration is very powerful and they have become good friends.
James Lindsey’s excellent lecture can be found here:
It can also be listened to in podcast form. It basically dissects our modern woke crisis as the forced implementation of ancient hermeticism / gnosticism. Enjoy.
“Gender affirming care” is a phrase used by “progressives.” That is exactly what it is not.
Thanks Ray. Gender affirming would be encouraging boys to be boys, girls to be girls.
Audrey / Aiden was a former student at that Christian school. All victims except the janitor were women. I wonder if she hated women, and most especially what they represented -the very thing she sought to destroy in herself. So many trans people are suicidal – perhaps the majority of them. Many have regret and feel angry after they destroy their sexual and reproductive function. It is natural to mourn what could have been and to envy those who have what you most desire.
All conjecture, of course. But it hits me that way.
The quote from Lady Macbeth was brilliant, by the way. Shakespeare was so based.
All victims at the school but one, were women – Christian women. There was a reason she targeted this school. LGBTQ ideology gave her a reason to hate and a justification for murder.
For too long, most Americans have assumed the myth of LGBTQ innocence. Historians of crime know better.
I seem to remember that one of the most effective security measures was to have only one entrance to the school.
I watched the video. She broke the windows and ducked under the door’s metal crossbars to gain entry.
Thanks KH! I watched the video after your comment, it looks like she shot her way in?
It looks like schools and such need to be hardened against perps shooting their way in. Shouldn’t cost too much if included in the original design.
In some states, the hardening is required by law – at least of public schools.
I watched the video too. Her demeanor is decidedly. masculine. This was a woman who refused to accept her true identity. That’s why gender dysphoria is a mental illness, a dangerous mental illness, especially when political groups encourage the person to continue to deny reality.
That might be a problem if you have to evacuate in an emergency. There goes Plan B.Many burrowing animals will have an exit in addition to an entrance.
.
I seem to remember that one of the most effective security measures was to have only one entrance to the school.
Nope. Absolutely NOT. Sandy Hook, Stoneman dougles, Uvalde, this school ALL had “hardened entrances” but NONE of them had the ONE THING that works, guaranteed every time: SOMEONE TO SHOOT BACK. As she crawled through the broken glass backwards to gain entrance, had the old janitor been armed he WOULD have taken her out before she ever stod up to starat walking again. NO ONE killed but HER.
THIS is the one solution that WORKS every time.
In fact her perverted writings describe a different school she preferred, but that place had armed seci=uriyt so c she chose this one that does not. Sad thing is, it was this private school that deliberately made the decision to NOT have guns inside that facility,
