After yet another shooting related to transgenderism, there must be a public reckoning for an ideology that takes mentally disturbed young people and fills their heads with delusions and a persecution complex that motivates them toward violence.
A man in Canada shot and killed eight people, leaving at least 25 wounded, at a school in British Columbia. It is important to note that the shooter, who was 18 years old, is indeed a man. He claimed to be a woman, and so liberal media outlets and even Canadian police are insisting that this man be called a woman. You must respect the preferred pronouns of mass murderers who kill multiple children.
The police say they are calling the school shooter female because that’s what he called himself.
Is this a new practice — to try to guess what mass murderers would want, and obediently comply?
You can guess where his victims are in the pecking order.

DETRANSITIONER’S $2 MILLION JUDGMENT A ‘BREAKTHROUGH’ FOR GENDER TRANSITION LAWSUITS
This man began “transitioning” into a woman about six years ago, when he would have been 12. He dropped out of school shortly after and was the subject of numerous police responses at his home. There is no declared motive yet, but he was clearly mentally unwell and part of a “community” that insists that everyone is out to “erase” them.
This now follows a trend. In 2023, a woman who claimed to be a man shot and killed six people at a Christian school in Nashville. Earlier this year, a man claiming to be a woman shot and killed two children and injured 18 other people at a church in Minneapolis. The man who shot and killed Charlie Kirk lived with a “transgender partner,” a man who claimed to be a woman.
Legacy media will downplay the transgender associations of each of these violent incidents, insisting that every killer be referred to with their claimed identity, but it is impossible to ignore that a statistically disproportionate percentage of high-profile shootings are now tied to transgenderism. That stems from the fact that there is a level of mental distress that comes with falsely believing that you are a woman in a man’s body or vice versa. Legacy media and activists are fueling these delusions by insisting that science does not apply to these people, and they can choose whether they are a man or a woman whenever they want.
LEGACY MEDIA GOT IT WRONG: IMANE KHELIF WAS ALWAYS A MAN
Even worse, activists and politicians insist that objecting to this worldview is violence against these mentally unwell people. Transgender activists run around screeching about “Trans Genocide.” Liberal media, such as the New York Times, write such things as “Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence,” perpetuating this narrative. Democratic politicians also encourage or play into the idea that violence is a legitimate response. Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan notably wore a “Protect Trans Kids” shirt that prominently featured a knife at a press conference. You could infer from that shirt that “protecting trans kids” with violence is not just justified, but morally obligated.
This is what happens when you tell mentally disturbed young people that they should reject reality, and that anyone who does not reject reality with them is part of an existential war against them. Indulging the fantasy that you can “change your gender” and threatening violence against anyone who rejects that idea is fueling more and more acts of transgender violence, and it was always completely predictable that this supercharged rhetoric would lead down this path.
